Mile High Pollster: Avs fans are ready for Valeri Nichushkin to heat up

It’s time for another Mile High Pollster, this time surrounding the second round matchup between the Colorado Avalanche and Minnesota Wild!

Has your confidence in this Avalanche team wavered at the sign of first blood?

Who gets the starter’s net for game five after the switch in game four?

Will Val Nichushkin lead the charge that earns Colorado a trip to the conference final?

Let’s see what the fans think!

Confidence Level

The Avalanche lost their first postseason game in game three of this series, and because fans hadn’t tasted the bitter taste of defeat until then, I wanted to gauge whether and how their confidence had changed.

As you can see, the majority of fans aren’t that fickle and have just as much confidence in this club as they did heading into the round.

The Woodshed

We wondered if the Avalanche would make a switch in net after Scott Wedgewood was chased from game three. At the time, those who voted wanted to see Wedgewood get the nod.

It was, in fact, MacKenzie Blackwood, and he secured the game four victory!

Due for a Night

The Avalanche saw breakout performances from Parker Kelly, Nicolas Roy, Ross Colton, and Logan O’Connor in game four, but we were hoping it would be Val Nichushkin’s breakout night.
