Put Nashville Behind You and Focus on the Homestand
Preds loss and other things on my mind.
Okay. There was no immediate recap to the game in Nashville. Was there really a need for one, though? (I meant to post this on Sunday, but Dater had a trade deadline story up right before it, so this gets pushed back even further.)
It was just “one of those games” in my opinion. What do I mean by that? From the drop of the puck, sometimes you just have a feeling that it wasn’t going to be the Avs’ night. Is that a cop out? Probably. But that’s how I felt.
If you remember, I was mad after the Maple Leafs game because the team played a different game in the opening 10 minutes than the remaining 50. We had a chance, seemed like it was ours to lose, and then we did, in fact, lose.
In Nashville, it never felt it was the Avs’ night and I resigned to the loss early. That’s my analysis: just wasn’t our night. No puck luck, bad coverage in the defensive zone, bad goaltending, poor transition game on the breakouts... It just wasn’t happening for us. And the 5-1 loss was the deserved result.
