How To Make Money Betting On Colorado Avalanche

Colorado's first NHL venture was nothing to write home about. The Colorado Rockies, as their nickname would suggest, lived a brief, rocky existence, making the playoffs just once and never winning a post-season series.

The Avalanche wrote a completely different story. From the moment they arrived in Denver, they were instantly among the NHL's elite franchises, blessed with a bevvy of young talent that carried the team at or near the top of the league for much of their first decade in the Mile High City. Today, the Avalanche have reloaded with a second coming of young superstars and it seems only a matter of time until they climb to the top of the NHL mountain again.

Welcome to the Mile High City, and don't take that scenario lightly. The Avalanche play their games at altitude and that can prove a challenge for a visiting club, especially an Eastern Conference team that only plays in Denver once a season. Adjusting to the thinner air can prove difficult for some players and it can offer a significant home-ice edge to Colorado if the Avs are able to pounce and get a lead on the other team before they adapt to their surroundings.
