Peaks and Valleys: Oog
Duchene is not allowed to leave again, Parenteau headed on an Earthward trajectory, and somebody for the love of Roy help Varly!

A less than outstanding week for the Avs, as in two games they managed exactly that many goals, and zero points in the standings.

Duchene still rules, I <3 P.A. Parenteau, and the PK is awful and awesome: Up and down week for the Avs, falling 4-1 in Edmonton and 3-0 in Vancouver, then winning 6-3 in Calgary and 3-1 in a home rematch with the Oil.
