The Game

Colorado has won the road game for the first time
during all Invasions! It is also its fifth win in a row – all in Invasion IV!
It did not look like the Avs were going to win for the first minutes. They
later showed the biggest effort and absolutely deserved to win. Only mistakes
could change something. Thanks two of them they got two goals. Johnson lost the
puck behind the net and Varlamov could save that shot before this situation.
But Varly later helped the team later so much and was great. The Avs played
faster than in their four previous games. Hard to say why. Maybe they believed
in themselves much in the game against the team like Wild is. PPs were amazing
and tremendous! Lines combinations were solid again. The Van Der Gulik´s performance
only confirms it. Hejda told us it would be very hard to beat Wild after game
with Bolts – players had not practice and had to get up early to fly. Jan
understood everything and became the second start of the game. Congratulations!
