Entering the playoffs with a goalie problem is like taking a road trip in the family truckster. Think you hate it now, wait ’til you drive it. The Avs head to Winnipeg on Sunday. Buckle your seat belts. The Avs are in for a bumpy ride. No one quite knows how Colorado went from Stanley Cup contender to staring down a second straight first-round exit.
