The countdown to Opening Night vs. St Louis Blues: 11 days
The WJC knockout tournament started yesterday, with high hopes for all Avs prospects involved. To start, Russia played short-handed Germany on their magical run.
Germany gave it the best they could, but their weak legs caught up to them and they just lost out on their battle with Russia 2-1. Russia pulled ahead 2-0 and Germany could not quite pull off the comeback, falling just short of a miracle semi-finals appearance. You have to give props for the Germany squad and their resilience in the tournament.
