Colorado won't roll over

I would just like to say that the Colorado Avalanche have done a admirable job the past few weeks in not rolling over and dying. Just a week a go the Avs found themselves 10 points out of the playoffs, after 5 straight wins including tonight over the Buffalo Sabres. This win only brings Colorado 6 points behind Minnesota for the final playoff spot, but at least it gives the playoff teams in the west something to think about so they don't just coast in.
