Avs 4, Stars 3 (0-1)

Here are some stats from game 1:

• 34 shots on goal
• 2 power play goals scored
• 3 goals total
  
• Only 2 penalties taken

In my estimation when any combination of 2 or more of those things happen on the same night, you should win your game. You should win it easily. When all 4 of those things happen, and you don't win, you can pretty easily point the finger in the right direction.

Apparently all you have to do to score on Marty this year, is just back Zubov in and use him as a screen.

What is wrong with Zubov?

He was a -4. He was on the ice for EVERY Avs goal, and on none of the 3 Stars goals. He had similar numbers in the pre-season. His buddy Daley was -3. Think that pairing is going to work out? Sure it's just one game, but I've been saying all along that Zubov should be with Norstrum. Tipp doesn't want to put all of his good defensive eggs in one basket, but guess what?....Zubie might not be a good one anymore.
