I only say good things about Avery. The goalie interference call was
100% based on his reputation, and not actually running into the
goaltender.
Prucha and Drury looked good tonight, but Dawes is making me cringe a
little. I don't doubt he plays as hard as anyone out there, but he
doesn't spend a lot of time thinking. Drury did a great job to bail
Dawes out on the Prucha goal. Dawes had a 2 on 1 waiting for him,
overskated the puck, lost the battle for it, and it was only a great
pass intercept from Drury that turned the play up and scored the goal.
That line is changing when Callahan gets back. I don't think Dawes is
going to stick around the big club when that happens.
Saying that, though, I'm kind of excited to see:
Straka Dubinsky Jagr
Shanahan Gomez Avery
Callahan Drury Prucha
There might even be a stretch of time when all three of those lines
are clicking at once.
