The Game

The GameThis is a brief column about the game against New York Rangers.

New York has outshot Colorado with big difference. The most of his shots were not dangerous. You can see it at the final score. But the rest of them were so hard to save that if Varlamov would not be there, Avs would lose it. It was one of the best games of his career. It is great to write these sentences from the game to the game – and also mention our great backup. The defensive pairs have changed a lot in the past week. Hunwick even scored fantastic goal. What else should we want? If our goalie is solid, Avs have 80 percent chances to win. If blue liners would join him, it is 99 percent. I am satisfied with the offensive lines too. There is nobody for criticism today. Duchene played hard like Downie. McGinn shot on the net from every place on the ice. Stastny and Hejduk got better. It was one great team work. I am asking myself: How could this team lose the game against Columbus 0:2? There are two important games ahead with Phoenix and Calgary.
