David´s column on the last game

Colorado Avalanche won. It is a strange feeling.
Really, it was really, really weird after win. The win had not been here for a
long time. It is something, what does not belong to this team. But suddenly,
they showed great hockey at away ice. Even they opened the score in the first
seconds of the game. I do not know what to write today. I am shocked. Did you
know Ducks are on the second place in the entire conference? They definitely
underrated Avs like Avs did many times with their opponents in this season. It
could end little worse with Ducks 8 games later. Hat down to Duchene. He is so
impressive. He is different than the rest of his teammates. Higher level.
Giguere played good and deserved a shutout. Ducks really played nothing even
they did the same in the third period. Simply no pressure. Landeskog finally scored.
Stastny was back in the lineup and we could feel it. But when I am praising
players who had not played good last games there is still O´Reilly. Nothing
changed with him, still average.
