The Game

Is this team not worth the playoffs? Is this game an evidence of my opinion? I guess yes. The team has to work hard for all 60 minutes if it wants to get a chance to win the Stanley Cup. This unofficial rule should be observe in such games like was the last one – the Avs met one of the biggest concurrent team in the struggle for play-off spot. The first period was horror. I was thinking about turn it off and went sleep. Any player knew where he was supposed to be. All players just shot pucks everywhere without thinking. They even did not know where they were. Only very solid performance from the next two periods saved them from my big criticism. But it is still weird. Firstly, they played totally bad and then, suddenly after short break, they are absolutely other team. What happened to them? Did somebody re-code them like robots? I am not going to praise anybody. Some players played good for 40 minutes, but they woke up too late. We must win the next game. If not, there will be no playoffs this year.
