The Game

The GameThis is a brief column about the game against Detroit Red Wings.

Not anymore hopeless situation. This was not a day after big party, after two big wins. Players did not asleep. They played tremendous and definitely deserved to win. Where were they few days ago? They did not let to Detroit players make great goal scoring changes. There were some hard moments, especially in our PKs, but Varlamov was great again. He got them a chance to win. I like new second line. Hejduk is great veteran and leader. It is strange how he could be so great with his healthy problems. Landeskog is a contrast to him – young gun, but it works perfectly. O´Reilly´s night does not need any comment. He said he have not had so great serious, even not in the minors. The Avs players pushed their opponent to the last second of the game. What an effort! Something had to change in the locker room. I do not care about it. It works, that is important. Great hockey, great happiness! Hope it will be not destroyed by increasing injuries.
