This is a 10* WEST-CONF. GAME OF THE WEEK on the Avalanche.

I successfully played on the Oilers last night after they lost to the Canucks in their opener.

Now Colorado has an opportunity to bounce back on home ice and clean up some sloppy play at a very reasonable price.

I thought that the one thing which many people do wrong at the start of a season is to "over-react." Over-react to one game, or one week. Whether the team is playing well, or poorly.

And that's the case here. St. Louis is going to be among the best team's in the league in the end, and so too will Colorado.

But the Avs will be risking everything here to avoid the 0-2 hole right out of the gate, especially to St. Louis, their closest and most heated rival.

All things considered, I think this is a great price!

Good luck, NP
