San Jose Out-Everythings Colorado, 3-1

This was the first time all season I felt the Avs were noticeably outworked for the entire game.  Game 1 - the Avs made San Jose look old and slow - this game, the Avs were slow ones to the puck.

  • The brightest spot of the night was Duchene’s goal.  It takes some real talent beat two defensemen and goaltender all by yourself - especially when you have no other teammates with you in the zone. 
  • The only way the Avs will have a collapse to the degree that puts them out of the playoffs is if Anderson is hurt to the point that he is out for months.  The Avs were badly outshot (25 - 46) and outskated by one of the NHL’s best teams and still had a chance to steal points with 10min left in the 3rd.
  • Sacco, can we sit Clark for Wilson, please?
  • Hensick has no future with this team.  Hopefully, Sherman will trade him soon.
  • With all of the injuries, anyone else surprised that we haven’t seen Haydar or Stoa called up yet?
  • Budaj vs Raycroft on Sunday night?  Wow - I really thought at least one of them would be out of the NHL at the end of last season...
