Luckily for the Colorado Avalanche the Washington Capitals are an injured team, and its affecting their machine-like precision. Because if Washington had played their best game last night, it would have been a blowout.
The Avs played sloppy hockey, and you can’t do that against the reigning Stanley Cup champions and hope to win.
There were definitely bright moments in last night’s game. The first period looked solid for Colorado — in fact, they had their own machine going. The last 10 minutes or so looked solid, too, and they definitely deserved to earn the game-tying goal that eventually earned them a point.
