The Game

Two Eurolanche members watched in great mood this game
in person in Denver because the Eurolanche Invasion IV has started.
Unfortunately, it did not bring much happiness. Firstly, it was looking like I
would write one big positive column. They got first two cheap goals, but could
take a lead. Stastny continued in a great shape, Varlamov had nice saves and
generally all offense worked perfect. The bonus was Gordie Howe´s hatrick by
Winnik. He scored fourth goal few seconds before the end of the second period.
It everything looked so good… Until the third one. Sacco called time out and
his players got three unanswered goals. Lost 4:5. This period is a clear
evidence of intra problems in the team. How can professional players play that
way and lost? There did not work anything and nobody play anything. It was the
next disaster. We, in Denver, have to believe we will not see such games in
person in the Can.
