I wasn't going to post when I got home. I was going to wait till tomorrow
morning when I have had a chance to sort through it all. However, thanks
to our friends who run the Parkway, I had that time driving home. 

First, SHOOT THE GOD DAMN PUCK! That slick 3 on 2 with the A-Line when
everyone thought Arnott would shoot and he passes to Elias who is a part
of everyone and thought Arnott would shoot. Three shots in the second is
never going to cut it.

Second, Marty was amazing. He held us in and we were lucky to escape the
second period tied. I was hoping they would realize this good fortune and
come out blazing in the third. Nope. Marty was great, but he HAS to stop
Bourque's shot. He wasn't screened and you could see him looking right at
it.

Third, WIN A FACEOFF! That was painful to watch. We have had trouble on
draws all playoffs and it just burned us badly tonight.

Fourth, Try a different breakway move! Everyone tries the same move and
second period of game 2 against Toronto it does not work!

Fifth, put someone in front of the net! Whenever we would get a cycle
going we could rarely do anything with it because nooone was in front of
the net waiting except Colorado players.

Sixth, do some passing drills. Our passing was awful. We had some good
chances but bad passing erased most of them. 

I still believe in this team and I think we will take this series but
tonight's game was just ugly. If they continue to play like this it will
be Avs in 5.
