| 0:00.0 | It's good to be back and that's a good way to come back. |
| 0:03.2 | Aves win over the Utah Mammoth 4-2. |
| 0:06.4 | Now at 5-on-5, I think the abs were certainly the better team for the vast majority of this game. |
| 0:12.4 | And for a large, large portion of this season, that has been, in my opinion, |
| 0:17.3 | because the abs are simply better than their opponents. |
| 0:20.3 | But this was a return to action after three weeks, and the guys who had been playing |
| 0:25.2 | are exhausted getting back from the Olympics in many cases for the avs guys less than 48 hours |
| 0:31.6 | before this game. |
| 0:32.6 | So there was some understandable sloppiness and mistakes getting made, and I'm willing to |
| 0:36.4 | throw those out given the obvious context |
| 0:38.4 | here. But that did lead to a game where the aves were better, maybe more so because of Utah's |
| 0:44.3 | inability to execute and capitalize on opportunities than it was the abs strictly dominating. |
| 0:50.3 | With that being said, that happens all the time. The abs have plenty of losses this season that come down to their own lack of execution. |
| 0:57.0 | So taking advantage of a team that's struggling there is part of the game. |
| 1:01.0 | The first period, despite the abs being the better team at five on five, showed them no reward, although maybe it should have, but is abs hockey really back until they've had a goal taken off the board by the |
| 1:12.1 | league? Brent Burns had seemingly scored on a backhand, but goalie interference was challenge |
| 1:16.7 | and it was ultimately called back. It's goalie interference, you never know, but this one |
| 1:22.4 | looked like it was very likely goalie interference from Brock Nelson. He gets part of the glove of |
| 1:28.1 | Amelka with his stick as the puck is flying past him. I don't have an issue with this one |
| 1:32.3 | getting called back. With that goal getting called back, there would be no actual scoring in |
| 1:37.2 | the first period, which is an issue. The aves have had problems with over this season at times, |
| 1:42.6 | but the version of the avalanche you got in this one |
