I’m convinced that the Avs are on a mission to convince the world that a 2 goal lead really is the worst lead in hockey - after blow two goal leads to lose in their last two games, they blew another 2-0 lead, and then nearly blew a 5-2 3rd period lead, but, thankfully found away to come out on top 5-4.
- The Avs had a good first 10 mins of the 3rd. They were doing a really nice job staying aggressive and working hard and then Philly scored and it started to fall apart.
- Not a big fan of Daniel Briere right now. How does a cross check to the throat right after a goal not get called? If Hannan is going to miss some time, better hope Footer can go on Wednesday - I’m not sure I can stomach another Preissing “effort”.
- Marek Svatos’ stick handling on a rush = Shaq’s dribbing on a fast break.
- David Jones is tied with Hejduk for the team lead in goals with 10.
- We’ve seen a lot of this in the box scores this season:
- Duchene - 0G, 0A, 0P, -1
- O’Reilly - 0G, 2A, 2P, +2
- Really classy by the Avs and Laperriere to have Lappy take the ceremonial faceoff with Stastny.
- As much as I'd like to see it, I thought it was both respectful and smart for McLeod to not go with Lappy.
- Stewart was invisible in this game.
- Red Wings lost to Nashville last night. How does 10th place in the Conference feel, Detroit?
