The photo, of two young men -- who appear to be Flames goalie Miikka Kiprusoff and defender Dion Phaneuf -- smoking and surrounded by young women apparently causes the blood of some Flames fans to boil, hence the photos capline, which whines: “Maybe this is why they can’t win on the road.â€Â

I'm surprised that athletes smoke because that can affect their performance.

You have a point, but look below. I think Edmonton & Anaheim had better defense (and playing system) than the Avs have now.

And that's exactly why I'm not scared of them,if great defense doesn't directly win championships - it certainly helps a lot.

Their defense might not be as good but think about this: being 9-0-1 in his last ten games behind a supposedly lousy defense makes Budaj even more of a game-stealer, don't you think? ;)

About game stealing:

Winning goalie's team has to lose the SOG's,preferably hugely.

Colorado has outshot their opponents in 9 of their last 12 games-

for example against CGY 42-19,@Edmonton 46-22 and against San Jose 40-24.

Not much stealing necessary in those games.

But I get your point(s) too.

Believe me-I'll really hope I'm wrong about this, if there'd be a Preds-Avs 1st round matchup.

Interesting shot totals, to say the least. :o So their team defense has actually been very good, allowing so few shots.
