What happened

Two games, two identical 5-2 wins, and the Avalanche misery index fell from 65 to 26. The Devils went first, prompting one fan to ask, "Landy=Jesus?" The Halloween win over Calgary was the real turn: Blackie made "a HELL of a save," Parker Kelly said "no thank you" to an extra pass, and MacKinnon scored one of his "fuck this shit" goals. Still, one holdout insisted last year's flub "will haunt this team for the next decade." Ghosts, apparently, don't check the standings.
