But everything coimes to an end, and this Avalanche team is looking a lot like it’s a team that knows its end is nigh. The old saying among sports people on injuries is: "You can overcome a big injury or two for a game or twoj. But after a game or two, you face your waterloo if you can’t get them back." You just can’t go for very long after injuries to top players. It’s called a "regression toward the mean."
