* The Colorado Avalanche won a game against the New Jersey Devils, but the writer still felt the team played a bit messy and had too many mistakes. Even though they won, the writer wonders if the team is really playing well or just got lucky because the other team was tired.
* Some players, like Gabriel Landeskog and Nazem Kadri, seemed happy with the win and felt the team played well together. However, the writer noticed a lot of mistakes, like giving the puck away too much, which makes them wonder if the team is truly improving.
* The writer is concerned that star player Nathan MacKinnon isn't always playing with the same energy and focus as he has in the past, even though he's still scoring a lot of points. The coach, Jared Bednar, also seems to be getting impatient and might start making changes if the team doesn't play better soon.
