Honeymooner? I think that refers to the fact that the Avs are/were "new" to Denver...but most hockey fans outside Colorado don't understand that hockey is big here - we know the game...DU, CC, at one time the (original) Rockies and Grizzlies all were around, and played great (well, OK, not the Rockies) hockey.
I don't see "chemistry" as the problems with the Avs - it's more a style problem....I get so frustrated when they don't pull the trigger on an open net - they're so busy looking for the pretty setup pass, they forget that the aim in hockey is to SCORE, so it needs to be fixed - they did a good job of correcting that last year after the 2nd round.
Avs, Wings, maybe the Sharks - that will be the Western Champ. I personally think the Wings have the best chances based on talent, but their drive hasn't shown recently...I personally wouldn't mind seeing the 'nucks knock them out in the first round (Crawford finally getting some redemption there) - but it's not very likely with Bowman at the helm....
