Opinion | Playing with no-quit tenacity, these are not the Avalanche that Matt Duchene bailed on (via markkiszla) GoAvsGo

When the story of this Stanley Cup season for the Avs is written, let the record show this franchise’s quest for its first championship since 2001 began in earnest more than four years ago, when Duchene walked out the door and took the me-first attitude with him. The slow build to championship contention for Colorado really began when general manager Joe Sakic changed the vibe in the dressing room by trading the team’s third overall pick in the 2009 draft, a center who grew up an Avalanche fan and was originally billed as the second coming of Super Joe himself.These are not the Avs that Duchene bailed on. It’s a deeper, tougher Colorado team than the group that has made a nasty recent habit of getting eliminated early in the playoffs.
