The Game

We saw the classic duel between Colorado and Dallas.
Our beloved team just knows it against the Stars. But it was a little bit
different yesterday and everything could finish by our loss. Avalanche dictated
the play of a game and had more goal scoring chances + shots than the opponent.
The natural goal scorer was missing in this part of the game. Stastny is
supposed to be him and he did not fail. It is shame that his teammates did not
join him in the stats. They should. Stastny was solid with Porter and Jones. I
had little worries about this line, but it was ok. Defensive pairs were good
too. But why blue liners and offensive players could not have a good game on
the same time? Giguere did not have a lot of work, but showed unbelievable
saves on big chances. He is real professional and maybe the best goalie since
Roy´s retirement. Finally, Mueller was worse than in his coming back game. He
needs time, a lot of time.
