It was a nice win and the Avs at times, looked really good. However, I think that's because the Kings are just horrible. It's not hard to believe they wouldn't be from a chemistry stand point. They get rid of Murray because they think the Vets have toned his message out and they bring in Crawford who's even worse, but less talented than Murray. It looks like that team has already put the mute button on for Crawford. Hell, Smyth even went after a frozen puck in the crease and basically speared the King's goaltender so hard in the stomach that he broke his freaking stick. Smyth got the total Martin Skoula treatment for it. You know, "Oh, hi there guy who just mauled our goalie. Excuse me while I pretend I don't see you and let you stand in our crease". Blake is coasting his way to retirement. Dustin Brown and Kopitar are the only things worth a damn on the team right now. So while you enjoyed the San Jose game and were encouraged, I felt the total opposite about the Kings game. Sure, it was plain fun to see the Avs go first to the puck and score a lot of goals. Not to mention, seeing Hensiiick score his first. However, it wasn't a real test and I felt all the worse because someone (Yeah, Coach Q and Co.) will somehow try to validate Theo in goal again.
