03/21 Colorado 5, Edmonton 1
Avalanche Recaps | (6)
I knew the Oilers were struggling. Devastated by injuries, out of the playoff hunt, heart and soul traded to Long Island. I knew they were dressing 4 rookie defensemen, and that a decent number of Edmonton fans are actually pulling (secretly or not) for the Avs to overtake the Flames and make the playoffs. Even so, I wasn't really prepared for what I saw last night. Simply terrible, terrible hockey from the Oilers.
Thankfully, the Avalanche came out and did what they had to do - played strong hockey without gearing it down for a lesser opponent. That sentence applies ...
