The Game

The six-game winning streak on
the road has ended. The Avs did not equal team´s record. Kiprusoff won his 6th
game in a row against us. It was really weird defeat at the early morning of
CET. Very weird game. Calgary outshouted Colorado 21-5 in the first period, but
“lost” 34-36 at the end. Their shots did not mean anything. Giguere had not
chance against allowed goals. The defense could not cover guys in front of the
net. Then they scored to the half-empty net. Our d-men got our alone two goals,
but they were the weakest part of the team. And an offense? I really do not
understand why Duchene were not back at his position and did not get bigger
ice-time. Yes, he has not 100 points yet, but he can start everybody and brings
energy. Kiprussof was in the great shape and nobody would beat him. But it is
shame for his and Flames´ fans, because the team with only one good player has
not a chance to clinch the play-off spot.
