0:00.0	Welcome in to the BNVR Avalanche podcast, live from the Toyota Lounge, powered by your front-range Toyota dealerships and presented by Bet365. We've got Bailey, we've got AJ, we've got Rudo coming to you live on an avalanche off day. The abs are 5'0 and 2. They sit at the top of the Central Division. Things are feeling pretty good.
0:23.4	But I am interested in taking a look at the rest of the Central Division and where everybody stands.
0:28.7	Now, I'm not too concerned with what the standings actually look like. It's still too early in the season to really be diving into anything like that.
0:36.5	But we have seen enough hockey.
0:39.0	Teams have played enough games that you can start to get a feel for each team in the
0:42.2	Central Division.
0:43.6	Wait, Bruto.
0:44.5	You mean to tell me that Dallas being in seventh means nothing right now?
0:50.2	Not indicative of where they're going to end up this season.
0:54.1	As much as I want that to be the case that Dallas finishes in seventh in the Central.
1:00.1	Don't read too much into the standings other than just a list we can work off of to talk about some of these other teams.
1:06.2	Before we do jump into the Central and its entirety, I do want to start with the abs, though, because if you had told me the abs were going to earn 12 out of their first
1:16.8	14 points, I'd be a pretty happy camper.
1:21.4	I would not be upset with the way the season has started.
1:24.0	And I think that's true.
1:27.1	Even if their most recent game was maybe my
1:29.9	least favorite of the bunch, Colorado has started as good as you can expect. Is everything
1:37.0	rosy and green or are there underlying issues for you guys? I, this is the start that I expected this is the start that they hoped they would go into
1:51.0	this season with and I don't think aside from two kind of flukier games that there's much to be
1:59.8	mad about.
2:07.0	I'm fairly certain that they're going into Thursday feeling pretty good about where they are at so far.
2:08.3	It's a miracle if anybody makes it this far into the season undefeated, I would say.
