Movin' on Up

The Avs are now just one point behind the Red Wings for the fourth playoff spot and six points behind the Canucks for the lead in the northwest division. Both teams have played one game more than the Avs. Roy and the Forsberg line are playing amazingly well. Morris got a goal in his first game back after getting his ass kicked. And all of this is being done without the help of Joe Sakic. They're a one-line team right now, but when Sakic returns, it will give them a lot more possibilities in terms of spreading talent among the lines. It should only help their special teams play as well. Still, in the west, Dallas will be awfully tough to beat. Of course, with about 27 games to go before the grueling playoffs even begin, there's plenty of time for hot streaks, cold streaks, and injuries to take their toll on any of the teams. Things could be very tight and interesting by March 15 when the Avs have to go back to the Joe.
