Dammit, the Avs weren't even trying last night against Edmonton. They had less than 20 shots on goal, and the defense was sketchy at best. That shorthanded goal in the 3rd was just handed to the Oilers on a silver platter as 3 players watched the puck go into the corner, get picked up and passed to Stoll for the goal. It's like they didn't even care about the game. Aside from Theodore, who is the only reason the Oilers scored 3 goals instead of like 7, the Avs don't look like they're ready for the playoffs. They're limping in with 3 straight losses.

I predict the Stars will win convincingly in game 1. After that, Sakic, Tanguay, and co. better get with it.
