My Take On The Game:

- It looked like everyone but Moreau played last night in Chicago, then flew into Colorado early this morning.

- Garon had an off game, but that's to be expected every once in a while.

- We definitely had our best start to the game this season, but after the first Colorado goal, the guys just seemed to die. After the second goal, it looked pretty much over. They just did not have the energy.

- Overall a better total performance than last night, but still a poor showing for what we know these guys can do.

- Fuck I hope Horcoff's okay...That changes everything if he gets hurt...it looked for sure like Cole wouldn't be starting on the 1st line on Saturday, but now who knows.
