ROCKIES SLAY KINGS TWICE IN THREE DAYS

 

Denver

 

The offensive prowess of the Colorado Rockies cannot be denied. Owners of the Top 5 point producers in the entire NFHL, Colorado has been dominant in the O-zone. Tonight they played host to the LA Kings only a couple days removed from the 8-2 shellacking in Hollywood.

 

Tonight’s tilt wasn’t much different. The Kings would actually open up the scoring halfway through the first period. They would outshoot the Rockies 10-8 and split the period one goal apiece after Brett Hull tied it up on the power play. It was Hull’s 26th of the campaign and one of two this game.

 

Colorado would flex their muscle in the 2nd period tallying up 5 goals on 14 shots. They kept LA to 8 shots but one of them was a short handed marker. Head Coach Andre Savard wasn’t too concerned, “Those things happen sometimes when you’ve got the blinders on and pushing for more goals. It’s how I played sometimes too. We are only human and we use it as experience to correct and adjust in certain situations”.

 

The home team would slather 3 more goals in the 3rd sending the sold out crowd home spoiled. A Rockies 9-2 victory over an LA team that has fallen from their recent competitive seasons. The Kings will see the Rockies twice more this season coincidentally within the next two weeks. It should be enough time to forget these last couple days that saw Colorado pump them for 17 goals in the home-and-home.
