AVS WRAP: Observations From Game 2

Tazer's lazer wins it

Well, I called it and…never…had…a…doubt.

Well, maybe a tad there in the first period. But, honestly, once the Avs got out of that first period only down 2-0 - it could have been 4-0 - I still felt good about the game. You can check the transcript of the live chat for proof.

I thought if the Avs just found a way to get the deficit down to 2-1 that they’d get turbocharged mentally, and I think we saw that last night. The Avs, I thought, dominated the final 40 minutes in evening the series.

On to Seattle for Game 3 tomorrow night.

“First period was terrible. We had to get more assertive and more engaged, competitive. Second period, you could see we started to free ourselves up a bit. Looked like we were shocked, not in the right place mentally. But we worked harder as a group together,” Jared Bednar said after the game.

Man, Avalanche fans in particular were shocked in that first period. Avs Twitter was ANGRY, and the fans in the arena gave the team a good dose of booing when the period was over.

I give Alexandar Georgiev a lot of credit for keeping the game as close as it was.

“Huge, timely saves. It could have been a lot worse after the first,” Bednar said.

Agreed.
