It has been refreshing these last 5 games to see the Avs become a more punishing team. Both teams last night were throwing really good clean hard checks and it was fun to watch.Jibblescribbitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17833352311064492403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8448603083409761259.post-85086361039514747782007-03-08T10:16:00.000-06:002007-03-08T10:16:00.000-06:00mike,Congratulations on the newborn!

That puts my complaints about work into perspective I think.<BR/><BR/>If Stastny continues streaking like this, he has a good chance at surpassing Malkin who seems to have cooled off a bit lately.<BR/><BR/>If Giguere trades Stastny, he will be drawn and quartered. Trading Drury at the time was "acceptable" as the team had a lot of other big guns up front. But these days, the big names are slim pickings on this team so I don't see them ever being crazy enough to move a player like Stastny.Shane Girouxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09749726552751076600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8448603083409761259.post-46655716938985858082007-03-08T10:13:00.000-06:002007-03-08T10:13:00.000-06:00cory,Yep, offense was never a problem.

The last 2 games having teams limited to 21 shots is certainly a vast improvement in defensive quality. <BR/><BR/>Budaj has been playing well and the D has been stepping up for him more than they had in the past. And when the D messes up, Budaj has been there to bail them out.Shane Girouxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09749726552751076600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8448603083409761259.post-23480321643254619762007-03-08T10:11:00.000-06:002007-03-08T10:11:00.000-06:00b_washington,Yep, Finger does a good job at finish...b_washington,<BR/><BR/>Yep, Finger does a good job at finishing his checks and certainly will lead by example for others.<BR/><BR/>The rookies showing the vets likely did lead to some improvement but I'm still stymied on Sauer's late turnaround.

Unfortunately, work has been hectic lately and coupled with a killer cold and a newborn son that can subsist on 2 hours of sleep at a time means I don't get to see much hockey lately. Still hoping to see Paul get the Calder. Hopefully, that won't mean he'll be traded in a couple of years for a "burgeoning offensive-defenseman" like Drury was.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8448603083409761259.post-48188400509339505552007-03-08T08:08:00.000-06:002007-03-08T08:08:00.000-06:00This is a huge win.

It looks like that's what's been the difference maker during this hot streak.<BR/><BR/>With four weeks left in the season and only trailing Minnesota by 6 points, we are a far cry from "out of it" like I thought we would be at this point. Plus, many of our remaining games are against divisional opponents and so if we stay hot, we will still be playing hockey in mid-April.Coryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15155977013602789678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8448603083409761259.post-3049185942321806432007-03-07T23:25:00.000-06:002007-03-07T23:25:00.000-06:00I have thought that all season the Avs lacked grit...I have thought that all season the Avs lacked grit on defense. I think a turning point had actually been the calling up of Finger. I really like him, he's big and physical and puts in good hits.<BR/><BR/>I think seeing this rookie call-up go out and outhit everyone else on the team has lit a fire under the Avs (well not completely him, but it has helped.)Jibblescribbitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17833352311064492403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8448603083409761259.post-33752887570985797662007-03-07T22:14:00.000-06:002007-03-07T22:14:00.000-06:00Waking up this late was really the only bad thing ...Waking up this late was really the only bad thing I could think of from this game :)<BR/><BR/>Lappy certainly had egg on his face after dropping them.

That had to be embarrassing for Lappy to have that happen to him. We got the W though, so no harm done. And I wouldn't consider waking up a "bad" thing. Yeah, I wish we had played like this earlier in the season, but we're making things interesting, and there's still hope!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
