The Game

The GameThis is a brief column about the game against Chicago Blackhawks.

Awful? The five-game winning series has ended. My bad predictions have confirmed. Colorado lost the second home-game of the season too. They scored alone goal during six periods totally. And even that goal was lucky scored by “top-scorer” O´Byrne. Varlamov was great against Chicago. He showed another big and nice saves. He gave a chance to win to his teammates. But they were just lazy. The entry to the third period was less than average. Offensive lines could not hold the puck and shot on the opponent´s net. Defense did a lot mistakes. Scored goals were reactions. They were not tough and big walls like in the past. Also the attackers did show nothing. Maybe except Landeskog and his line. Stastny would not score to the empty net tonight. Duchene was invisible. This game was kind of from the last two years – the goalie was tremendous, but the rest of the team screwed his job up. Colorado has a chance for reputation on Saturday. Let´s … surprise us?
