0:00.0	Wow. It's almost like when the best player in the world actually tries, the aves have it pretty easy.
0:05.1	And I guess good goaltending helps too.
0:07.6	Aves win over the Detroit Red Wings, 5 to nothing.
0:10.6	I'm not going to sit here and pretend like Detroit played a good game against the abs.
0:14.3	They didn't.
0:15.1	And when a team plays poorly against Colorado, 5 to nothing is what it's supposed to look like.

1:04.0	if not good, if not great.
1:06.0	And you know what else makes your life easier?
