For the second time in two nights and for the third straight game this season the Avalanche lost to the Minnesota Wild. The players that deserve the most commendation in this effort are most certainly the Avalanche penalty killers who did a tremendous job of limiting of breaking even in chances (1-1) in 8:00 of penalty killing. Considering special teams play had been a big problem against the Wild in the two previous meetings this should be considered a tremendous success.
Part of that success on the PK is the result of the returning Adam Foote who played 2:31 chanceless minutes in addition to breaking even at EV. A very solid first game back. With Foote back in the lineup there was some danger that the Avalanche would sit Ryan Wilson but they decided instead to drop Tom Preissing. As much as I've hammered on Joe Sacco for playing David Koci (which he did again!), Wilson over Preissing is a really good choice.
Back to the game, given the Avs success on special teams, it's somewhat surprising that they didn't come away with the win. Unfortunately, one of the Avs biggest strengths let them down in this one. Craig Anderson, who has been phenomenal all year, let out a pretty brutal rebound which lead to the tying goal. The two teams then shut down the game after that. Two teams playing on tired legs and trying to secure the point for making it to overtime doesn't make for the most entertaining hockey, and that's for sure. In the last ten minutes of game play (5:00 in the third period and overtime) the two teams combined for zero chances. Sometimes I wish fans hated the shootout so that we could be entertained by the hockey that precedes it. Two points for a win, zero for a loss and one for winning in the shootout (still two points for a win in overtime but nothing for a loss). The shoot-out goofiness sticks around but everyone has plenty of incentive to play for the win at all times. Let's get some excitement in these games!
