It's only the preseason...but is anyone else just a little concerned that we're looking at the same Avalanche team as last year? The Avs lost 3-1 last night to fall to 1-4 in the preseason. The Avs musted just 19 shots last night, we're 0-2 on the powerplay and have been outscored 17-8 so far in games that don't count. That's not exactly reassuring.

In one bright spot, Jan Hejda did return to the lineup last night and had 15 minutes of ice time.
