The Game

The
first game of a new season was played at our ice against big rivalry team.
Ceremony, memorial service and zero at the scoreboard after 60 minutes. The Avs
entered the new season very bad. The first period was OK, but there were not
accurate shots and passes. Offensive guys could not find each other and were disoriented.
Their teammates from the other end of ice had “joined” them later. Home players
could not make any combination or even create a goal chance. If there was
someone, it had stayed unused. Varlamov was definitely our best player. We
could see improvement in a defense, but still with mistakes. Landeskog did not
help to our offensive ability and Mueller´s play below expectations. Nobody
knows what he should do. If this would continue, I would welcome five
losses in the next five games. And then say goodbye to Joe Sacco. Finally?
