First Avs Goal: Avs vs, Flames


I just wanted to break down the first goal from the Avs at Flames games Tuesday. Again, like the Ducks analysis (part 1 and part 2) here at JAHL, you just can’t find coverage like this in the mainstream media. Stick with the blogging label, folks.

Avs are on the power play, and the Flames have just scored a shorthanded goal. The score is 1-0 and we are in the final seconds of the first period.

Setup

Wolski has the puck and gives it to Joe Sakic

Arnason is in front of the goal, along with most of the Flames. Lots of traffic in front of Kiprusoff. Arnason does not touch the puck.

The ref makes the call. It’s a power play goal.

The Avs celebrate the goal with only 12 seconds left in the period, while the Flames skate off to the bench.

If this were ESPN, you wouldn’t have seen that much setup of a goal. Remember, keep it here for more in depth analysis.

The Avs won the game 4-3, with Joe Sakic getting a goal and three assists. Another amazing game from Super Joe. Five points back of the Flames. The pinnacle of the season would be if the last game of the season, this Sunday, were to be the one that determines the final playoff slot.

  1. Well that was way more action than I got to see than the first ten minutes of the game (when Altitude was having technical difficulties, so I had to listen to the Avs announcers call the game like it was radio).

    I especially like Kipper’s mask
