Tell It Avs It Is - Can the Avs still win the West? - S3

The All-Star break is winding to a close after a total failure by the NHL, and now the real season is about to kick in for the Avalanche with 34 games to go. After an injury riddled first season that has the Avs in the second wildcard spot, how can they battle their way back to winning the Central division? Is there another team in the West that the Avalanche should feel threatened by? Also, why is the NHL's viewership down 22% this season? Should the NHL go back to the old 1-8 playoff format?
