The Game

If we would be at the start of the season, we maybe forgive the last loss of the Avs. There are many games in NHL when you have no chance to win. Never. The opponent takes a lead easily and it´s go. But we are heading to the end of the regular season and what Avs players do in the last games have nothing common with sports fight. The loss against Columbus absolutely destroyed this team. If they would win, it will be something different after the game against Pens. The defense simply did not play. Pittsburgh´s players skated to Giguere´s net without any problems then shot and score. Nothing complicated. Avs are very famous team for scoring goals by the hardest way. Maybe some players were trying to do something, but they were restricted by Sacco´s tactic. I really do not know if they do or he does mistakes. Somebody wrote in the discussion this team is worth of the playoffs. This is true. But if they loss tonight, there would be no chance.
