Just think, a 5 game winning streak is longer than most teams will have this season.

Hopefully that won't be our longest or only 5 game winning streak.
I don't see that at all. Sure this fanbase is pretty high on its players but there is plenty of critique. Today a discussion on how the lines can be better. Griping about the PP. Still wary about the defense. Some people still don't think Landy should be the captain and people frustrated he and Stastny are not scoring. It's that generalization about the Avs fanbase that makes us look like idiots, not the comments that actually are made. Not one fan even thinks this start is good enough to make the playoffs let alone any delusions about contending.
It's only been 5 games. By reading the Avs section you would think we just won the cup, Duchene is a top 5 player in the league, Mackinnon is going to be the best player since Crosby and Varly is a top 5 goalie in the league. It's getting pretty ridiculous.
“I know nothing about him as a coach, I just know he was an elite, elite goaltender, very competitive guy,’’ Babcock said. “Obviously went back and learned to coach by being in major juniors.
“He’s already got the 20 years of pro (experience) and he knows the nuances and all that. And when you coach good players you get to be a better coach.’’
“They look like they go very fast,’’ Babcock said. “Two years ago, they skated us, flat-out skated. Then they got a bunch of injuries last year and this year they got more guys again and keep adding good players. The kid there (MacKinnon) looks like he’s going to be a star very quickly. They got a good-looking team.’’
I think this board has been drowning in self-pity and pessimism for so long that even cautious optimism might seem like fans are getting ahead of themselves.
Good start, but no reason to expect anything more than the 7th-10th finish in the West many here predicted.

Am I supposed to be happy with our recent success, or suspicious of it? I can't tell anymore!!!
It'll take more than five games to change the view of Avs as a poor team.
Well Duchene is playing like a top forward, Varly like a top goalie and Mackinnon has great hands and is the fastest player I have seen in a long time. Will they be tomorrow ?It's only been 5 games.

I just don't understand why people just can't give credit where it's due, even in the Avs section it can be pretty bad with people complaining about the team/players being bad.
It's pretty tiresome, I end up reading maybe 1 thread then leaving.
How about 10 games?
People aren't complaining when they talk here about certain players playing poorly. We're being critical of them, that's the point of a forum, you know, to discuss stuff.
If we were all gumdrops and marshmallows all the time about the Avs here, frankly I would stop showing up as it would just get boring.
