David´s column on the last game

David´s column on the last gameA brief recap and a criticism of the Colorado Avalanche game against Columbus Blue Jackets.

It is good to play only-defensive hockey against the weakest team in the league. No, I am kidding. It is not. Maybe it is a right tactic in the head of one anonymous coach. The same with players. No pressure, no final action, no hockey moves. Only skating, playing hard and hitting. A parody of hockey. Avs will never get confidence if they could not overplay the outsider. Or are they on the same level? It was funny how easy they get penalties. One by one. Columbus should score earlier in the game in of their chances. And it would be over. No Sacco´s fake chance – the special coach tactic how get mad all fans. LOL. Avs scored alone goal. Alone “pretty” goal. Alone goal against Blue Jackets. LOL. Not even 20 shots by them. Zero offensive skills. What about O´Reilly? He can read the game, but we did not see anything what would make him worth of 10 millions. The fact is the Avs are back in the reality after the win over Flames. I do not believe they deserve playoffs. Not after last night´s show.
