Expect the Colorado Avalanche to come out firing in Game 2 against the Blues. Expect them to keep firing regardless of the score, because that’s what they do. The Denver Post notes that the ‘Lanche attempted 106 shots in Game 1.
Obviously, there’s a lot of compete level involved in winning puck battles as well. In the Colorado zone, sometimes it looked like Blues defensemen seemed hesitant to pinch up in the zone and contend for the puck, instead choosing to pull back. It’s a fine line because if you choose to move up and you don’t come out with the puck, Colorado’s speed can go the other way in a flash and burn you.
