The Game

The GameThis is a brief column about the game against Dallas Stars.

Everybody was happy after game against Edmonton. Only some die-hard fans stayed on the earth. Last night´s game was an evidence of cruel reality. Man has to be brave to score just one goal at the home ice. The Avs players did it! Varlamov, Furh, Gretzky, Larry King… Does not matter who would stay in our net. This is not about goalie. Oh wait, these results can only destroy his career. The same with the defense. It did not make big mistakes. Maybe one or two, but still better than in the last season. Avalanche´s biggest problem is the offense and the coach. Attackers could not score a goal. They simply did not know it. Yes, they showed some good passes and endings, but without scoring. Sacco had loss streak in the AHL. We got him! Oh my god. What the management awaited? Couple of coach was fired yesterday. Good sign. It is too late, but the change is necessary. If the Avs would not be above 8th place until the end of the year, the season is lost.

I will be outland for the next two games, so I still do not know when I will able to write The Game articles. See you next weekend.
