Good point, but…
Paul Stastny can’t keep getting shut out like tonight. It’s that simple for the Avs: Paul Stastny needs to average a point a game, period, if this team is going anywhere this season. Tonight in Chicago, when the game was there for the taking, a Stastny goal was what was in order. But it didn’t [...]
