Continuing their quest to prove that a 2 goal lead really is the worst lead in hockey, the Avalanche overcame Tom Preissing AND the new third jersey's curses and eeked out a point at home against the Preds.
- Nice to see Colorado actually play a solid 3rd period. It had been a while.
- A bit of a soft goal allowed by Andy on the OT winner; yes, it was a scrambley play, but Andy seemed to be square to Legwand and let it leek through - that’s something we just don't see. Thank goodness it happened in OT and not in the 3rd.
- Hejduk and Stewart played fantastic games.
- Wolski hasn’t scored a goal in 6 games - but he does have assists in 4 of those games.
- I don’t know how I feel about Svatos - he scores a big goal, he takes a dumb penalty and Nashville scores the game tying goal. Even when he plays well, he finds a way to neutralize it.
- Quincey was strong in his own zone, I just wish he could hit the net on the PP.
- McLeod was invisible.
- I'm tired of beating the dead horse - I'm not going to talk about Koci anymore.
- Hensick was placed on waivers. We’ve seen this coming for some time -- I wonder if the Avs waited until the night before the (American) Thanksgiving holiday to do this, in hopes he slipped through the radar - at least as much as possible. As of 7:15 MST Thanksgiving morning, it doesn’t look like anyone has taken him. He'll go to Lake Erie if things stay that way.
- Detroit was shutout in Nashville last night, 0-2!
