Another tough loss for the Avs, their 3rd in a row and 7th in the last 8 games. Another horrible start and bad defensive showing by the Avs, who continue to leave Varlamov out to dry (O'Byrne and Zanon in particular tonight). You gotta feel for this team, cause they are scoring offensively and Varlamov is playing good, the defence is just atrocious and makes them so much worse. The Flames got goals from Hudler, Begin and Cammalleri scored twice while McGinn Landeskog and O'Reilly scored for Colorado. The Avs had another great 3rd period, but a slow first period cost them bigtime. At this point I don't mind the team losing, brings them closer to a top 3 pick in the draft, but as a fan I still want to see them win and its very frustrating. The stats were as follows: Colorado outshot them 30-27, Colorado won 39 of 69 faceoffs, Colorado out-hit them 23-14 and the Flames had 19 blocked shots to the Avs 12
Three Stars:
3. Steve Begin - Veteran scored the 2nd goal for the Flames
2. Ryan O'Reilly - O'Reilly was one of few Avs playing good tonight (him Parenteau Duchene Landeskog), scoring a goal and adding an assist
1. Mike Cammalleri - Cammy scored 2 goals, including the game winner, and was the best player on the ice
Game #33 - The Avalanche play next in Vancouver, where they meet the Canucks tonight (@10pm)
