GDT: Game 1: Minnesota Wild @ Colorado Avalanche | 8:00pm CST/4am Suomi | FSN

That game was depressing to watch. Wild looked old and slow - completely unable to compete with Colorado's speed.

The AV's commentators seemed to think Colorado was dominating the game. I think it was fantastic game. Like expected, Wild played a good control game but were overrun by youth, speed and skill. When the team average age is 3 years older... that's a HUGE cap in reality. Wild just being bit too rusty and careless against their fast counter attacks. You can't give such a fast team so much space to counterattack.

We're 1-6-1 when we open the season on the road. Sigh.
