Time for Golf

Detroit took the liberty to end Colorado's misery last night courtesy of an 8-2 shellacking to complete the sweep. The injury riddled Avs just couldn't skate with Detroit. Even with a healthy roster, I'm not sure much could have been done...Johann Franzen scored 9 goals in the 4 game series, Henrik Zetterberg and Pavel Datsyuk were on the score sheet quite a few times, and Colorado's piss poor offense couldn't generate much against a strong Detroit defense. I'm calling for a new coach in Denver...Quenneville's "try to play oppressive defense" system that worked in St. Louis prior to the lockout and crackdown on obstruction doesn't work anymore. I can see next year being the worst year in the Quebec/Colorado franchise since 1991/92 when they went 20-48-12. Some of their key offensive players are old and banged up (Sakic and Forsberg) and who knows which young free agents they will re-sign. It's going to be an interesting off season in Denver. For now, though, it's time for them to dust off the golf clubs and hit the links.
