What a 3rd period from Craig Anderson!  In a tied 3rd period, Calgary threw everything they could at the Avs, baldy outshot them 17-4 and couldn’t beat Andy.  He certainly earned the point all by himself.
  • My immediate reaction to the Koci fight: “Koci?!  What the hell is Koci doing in the lineup?”  Don’t you think a gritty, effective 4th line (Dupris / Hendricks / McLeod) would be nice in this game?
  • The Avs outplayed Calgary for the first 15 minutes but couldn’t score.  A bounce and a misread by Hannan / Wilson, and suddenly it was 1-0.
  • Liles had a PP assist (Stastny tipped it in) and that is exactly why he has to stay in the lineup - he can produce offensively.  He has 2 less points than Quincey despite having played in 15 less games.
  • Cumiskey’s best game in a really long time, minus an awful giveaway to Ignila at his own blueline in the 3rd.  Luckily Iggy missed the net (twice).
  • Tucker was totally invisible.  How he gets PP time is beyond me.
  • What a goal by Stewart!  (I’m pretty sure Stewart learned that shot from Buffalo’s Hecht.)
  • The Avs are done with games in Calgary this season (unless these teams meet in the playoffs.)  They gathered all 6 available points while Calgary collected only 1.
Next game: The Avs are off until Saturday.  They have the Eastern Conference leading New Jersey Devils at home @ 1 MST.
