Avalanche Bounce Back!

The Colorado Avalanche bounced back big time from the start of this game they looked to be coming out with more energy and determination to score. Even without top scorer Matt Duchene for tonight's game the Avalanche put up 5 goals on the Champion Black Hawks before they got their 1 goal of the night. Varlamov was stellar in net tonight making 37 saves on 38 shots. From what I saw in the game MacKinnon looked like he was not phased moving to the top line, he had a couple really close chances in the 1st period, and ended with a very solid game. Barrie, where oh where have you been this season?? He made his presence felt picking up 2 big assists, and continuously putting the puck on the net. I LOVED seeing him take those one time slap shots on the power play tonight, that is something that I think this team needs some more of. Great game, lots of energy, lets keep it up! Next game will be a tough one against the Phoenix Coyotes!
