from Mike Chambers of the Denver Post,
It was identified in the preseason and, two games into the regular season, it has magnified into a full-blown concern: The Avalanche has scoring woes of soccer proportions.
The Avs, billed as an end-to-end offensive-minded team with young stars thought to be the NHL's next top scorers, have the league's worst offense after two games. Following Saturday's 3-0 home-opening loss to Minnesota, Colorado is the NHL's only team still looking for its first goal.
"Five on five, we were the best team on the ice," Avs coach Patrick Roy said. "If we play like this, I'm not worried.
"If we continue to work like we did tonight, we will start scoring goals. We'll be fine. I know the name of the game is winning hockey games. But we did so many things well tonight. Our confidence should grow."
