Colorado Avalanche v Anaheim Ducks

In their eternal quest to prove that a 2 goal lead really is the worst lead in hockey, the Colorado Avalanche stormed back in a game they were down 2-0 and severely outplayed.  They scored 4 unanswered goals and won 4-3.
  • Let’s get the obvious stuff out of the way.  The Avs were horrific in the 1st period - outshot 14 - 2.  Andy was stellar and somehow managed to only give up 1 goal over that stretch.
  • Sacco put Mueller and Liles on the points on the 1st PP group and that group scored 3 PP goals.
  • I’d love to see a comparison of Avs PP % with Liles in the lineup and without Liles in the lineup.  I’d be willing to bet the numbers say the Avs is 5-10% better with Liles.
  • Andy nearly single-handedly killed the 6 PIM late in the 3rd.  In fact, only Scott Hannan could score on him.
  • Altitude did a great job showing how badly the lineman missed that Selanne and Koivu were a WAY offside on the Ducks 2nd goal.  It looked like the Women’s Gold Metal game out there.
  • Anaheim takes some really dumb penalties.  The one Brown took by hitting Salei on an icing play that directly lead to the Avs tying goal was pretty unforgivable.
  • You know that “Rookie wall” that Duchene hasn't hit?  Well, I think its safe to say that O’Reilly has.
  • Speaking of Duchene - I’m going with “Matty“, not “Dutchy“.
  • Kyle Quincey was a healthy scratch.  He was pretty awful in the game against Detroit and his play has been a notch below where it should be for a little while now.  I fully expect him to be back tonight.
  • Stephane Yelle will wear #18.  Brian Willsie just got his number stolen - the curse lives!

Next game: Thursday, at Phoenix, 7PM MST.

When was the last time the Avs beat the Ducks? I'm pretty sure they swept us last season.
