I give the Avs all the credit right now. I watched the highlights of the regular season games and they were awful at defending. They’ve completely flipped the switch now and are defending and competing at a completely different level. The amount of one and dones the Flames forwards have had in the offensive zone is staggering whereas the Avs are constantly cycling on the Flames and not only is it wearing the team down, but the Avs are generating so much momentum off these shifts.
