David´s column on the last game

The winning streak continues. Even in the second
straight game against the second strong opponent. The whole team had a great
game. Bravo to Duchene. Bravo to O´Reilly. Bravo to “Name” – add there a name
of any Avs player. The receipt on the win is pretty easy for now: just play as
the team, the style of each player has to be as team´s. One team, one goal, one
big win. Avs were taking a two-goal lead. It was not easy to get it. Two goals
did not stop them. They wanted to add more. We could see it. Unfortunately, the
game was tied later in the third period. It is not easy games against San Jose.
But what came later in the overtime is hard to explain. Except the one moment,
Avs were dominating the whole 5 minutes of that part of game. I do not remember
when I saw last time this kind of the Avalanche pressure. It was real avalanche
in front of Niemi. For now, it looks Dater was right about how the Avalanche
could be a top-4 team in the league in the next season. So far so good.
