The Avs and the Stars played a preseason game in Dallas last night. Let’s see what we have here.
Jose Theodore lets in 3 goals on 4 shots in the first period. No matter who wins, that may be the most telling thing about the game.
Stastny is playing some with Hejduk and Brunette. That is normally Sakic’s place. That tells me how much they think of Stastny.
Stars suck not nearly as much as the Wings. Just saying.
Everyone seams to be chipping in on goals: Laaksonen, Laperriere, Arnason (for real this time), Hejduk, and Brunette (who also had two assists).
All but one Avs goal came on the PP. Dallas had a bad night, taking 10 minors (6 for the Avs).Avs get one 5 on 3 goal, which they did not the night I saw them. No punch-in-the-face contests.Why? May was watching the game.
Avs win, 5-3. Overall, the only one who shows up looking shaky on the game sheet is Theodore (3 goals on 6 shots for 30:17 of play). Peter Budaj saw 9 shots, stopping them all. Even Svatos was seeing some action tonight (13:40 of ice time). The step up people are becoming obvious.
Is it just me, or is it kind of sad that the Colorado Avalanche website posts it’s game recaps directly from the AP?
