<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ryminister_27</b></div><div>Colorado doesn't exactly play an air tight defensively style game either. They give up tons of chances but their goalies just a top the puck.

Nice try though.</div></div>

Sort by every underlying defensive metric. The Avalanche are never worse than middle of the pack and often a top 12 defensive team. On HNIC the other night Sportsnet posted rankings for the defensive woes of the Blackhawks:

31st - Slot attempts against
31st - Cross Ice pass attempts against
31st - Chances given up off the cycle

How are we ending this ego battle again? Oh, right... nice try though.

Bottom line: Lehner would outperform Francouz in Colorado. No one with any hockey sense would think otherwise. I look forward to you trying your best to win this inane argument.
