Avs vs. Phoenix 6-4

Wow, that was a crazy game…by the numbers:
-6 Avalanche goals in 29 minutes by 6 different Avalanche players
-6 penalties on the Avs in the first period, 9 total for the game
-5 penalties on the Coyotes in the first period, 10 total for the game
-21 saves in Jose’s first start and win with the Avalanche
-26 saves in the 29 minutes that Sauve played before he was pulled in the second period
-8 saves in the 31 minutes that Leneveu played
-2 5-on-3 opportunities for each team in the first period
-3 goals allowed by Jose in the final 8 minutes of the game

All in all, a good game by the Avs. The third period was almost painful to watch though…it just seemed like the team lost some steam. They looked tired. Jose looked unfocused. But a win is a win…now the Avs head off to Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver to finish off the regular season. Good luck to them!
