Well...that was a stinker. Avs fall 3-0 and looked every bit like a very tired team on the 2nd of back-to-backs. And it didn't help that they went up against last season's Prez Trophy winners after barely beating last season's Stanley Cup champs.
No biggie though. Young team (not counting Iginla) that's still a little banged up, new coach, new system. NHL On the Fly pointed out that stretching all the way back to last postseason in the AHL and this year's preseason, Jared Bednar had a 17-game win streak snapped last night. Oh well, bound to happen sometime.
Now onto take on the two Florida teams. There was a time when this was an easy set of matchups. Not anymore!
