It looked great at the start as we came out flying. We had those power plays and Arnott had a great shot, and we should have had two or three more. Then came the clamps. Especially teams in the playoffs. It's big, both power play and penalty killing.
Penalty killing is a lot of hard work.
Hard, yes, but well worth it. New Jersey coach Larry Robinson admitted failing to score on the 5 on 3 was a momentum breaker for his squad. Take solace, New Jersey. You're not the only team that has had this problem with the Avalanche. The Denver Post or other copyright holders.
