David´s column on the last game

An admirable performance in the third period? Originally, I wanted to start with the style „shot and nothing, shot and nothing, shot and nothing“. I guess I am going to use him. Most shots on Quick were from long distance and he had no problem with them. The Avs offense missed creativity. Fortunately, it went well in the third period. All three goals were a result of hard work by the all guys on the ice. And this could be a problem. It is not good to work hard on every goal. The Avs have to have more games, when they score one or more goals easily. Only hard-working on every goal does not have to work for every team and we know it from the last seasons. But it worked last night and I evaluate first two line ups as very solid. Great co-operation between Landy and Duchene, Stastny is starting his play. But I worry that his or their development would stop soon. We await big things. Varly was perfect. D-men with many mistakes (Barrie, Hejda, Johnson), but overall they corrected them and contributed to a win.
