Vasboy is cheating to cover it up and is now floundering. Seems like they’re going blocker but have switched it up and are going low and he’s getting fooled. I underestimated Colorado. I didn’t think they had much of a chance unless they could target his weak area. However they are just out playing them all around. However they are working on his blocker consistently. Nichushkin went blocker side high early in game one and hit the post and Vasboy fell apart.
I actually think we matched up much better with the avalanche than the lightning. Vasboy has a major flaw in his game and the avalanche are in his head where Shesterkin does not. Our defenseman are also much much better skaters than the lightning defensemen who are making the avalanche look like the fastest team on the planet. Playoffs are all about matchups. I stick to what I said if St. Louis didn’t have their starter in goal get hurt they would beat the Av’s
Looks like people counted out Tampa too early. Though if they lose Kucherov I think that is too much to overcome.
Kucharov wouldn't have been hurt if the refs called him for boarding Manson, good for Toews giving that cheap shot artist a taste of his own medicine. I hope the series goes 7 games for the entertainment alone. What kind of salary is Nicushkin getting as an UFA? Every time he scores the Avs GM winces..
