Oh fucking hell...couldn't the delay in the season last long enough for us to have O'Reilly signed?

Well, Suter and Parise make their Wylde debuts, Mikael Granlund and Mathew Dumba make their NHL debuts.

Pierre-Alexandre Parenteau and Greg Zanon make their Avs debut.

Seems like an even match. :emo:

Well, the game pretty much went how I thought it would. Unfortunately the Avs, in their quest to get bigger and tougher, now have a squad that takes too many penalties. Remember they were the least penalized team in the NHL under Quenneville. It'd be okay if the Avs had a great PK. They don't. Though it was vastly improved last season...but their two best penalty killers last season were O'Reilly and McClement. Sacco even used Tyson freakin' Barrie on the PK, and sure enough, Dany Heatley easily overpowered him in the slot to score his 2nd goal of the night.

Granlund with his first NHL goal. Yay.

Yeah, it's only one game, but what sucks is that this is a squad making the same mistakes, with the same exact flaws...and without its best player. I really hope management wakes the hell up after this game.
