So, That Happened

Five thoughts on Game 2:

1. Alrighty! Nate scored two 

and the Avs gave away two to a team that should have scored eight but merely scored five. Progress? Progress. 

Bear in mind this was an away game and any Avs defenseman not named Zadorov spent the night getting re-acquainted with the fine art of the hip check:

I’ll always remember the part where Siemens’ head snaps back like he got kicked in the face by an eagle. 

3. Wife: His name is really Duncan Siemens?

Me (Smirking): Yes. 

Announcer: Duncan Siemens and Forsberg come together in the corner. 

Me (Snicker)

5. Okay, okay. So NBC said Avs are starting thirty-seven rookies in the playoffs who have played a combined 4-1/3 playoff games (#truefact). For them to stand in with Nashville says a lot about the character and chemistry of the squad. Who knows, if Bernier doesn’t move on to a beer league mid-series the kids may just win a game. 

On to Denver and the best single season home record of any Avalanche squad. Here’s to altitude!
