With a 2-0 series lead squandered, Colorado Avalanche head coach Patrick Roy couldnt be more blunt about his teams performance going into Game 5 of their Western Conference first-round series with the Minnesota Wild. Clinton Portis Redskins Jersey . "Were right there with them," he told reporters on Friday. "Now its time, sorry about the words, to put our balls on the table." The Wild went home from Denver down two games in their series against the Avalanche and - following solid starts from goaltender Darcy Kuemper - theyre leaving St. Paul with the series even at 2-2. Charlie Coyle and Jared Spurgeon each scored once while Kuemper held the fort to send the Wild to a 2-1 victory over the Avs in Game 4 on Thursday. The Avalanche struggled offensively during their two games in Minnesota, scoring just one goal and firing just 12 shots on Kuemper in Game 4. Colorado has been outshot 78-34 in the last two games, with Ryan OReilly getting the lone goal. "Im not happy about that," Roy added. "Lets not kid ourselves. We know we can do better and we will. Theres always adjustments...one other thing, their goalie did a good job not giving too many rebounds. Plus, we missed the net too many times. Sometimes in the playoffs, you need to put the puck on the net with the purpose of getting a rebound." The Avalanche went 0-for-8 on the power play over the last two games and is 1-for-15 in the series, but Roy warned that such challenges are natural for a young team that isnt even a Stanley Cup contender. "We need to be patient with our group," he explained. "This is a young team. This is a team that, lets not forget, finished 29th last year. These are huge steps and this is a learning process." The series returns to Denver for Game 5 on Saturday. Bryce Love Youth Jersey . - A Tuesday funeral is planned in Toronto for 20-year-old Saginaw Spirit forward Terry Trafford. Alex Smith Jersey .

De Jongs rink defeated New Brunswicks Rene Comeau 9-7 to finish with a 4-2 record in Pool B. They both qualified for the eight-team championship round, which begins Wednesday. "Its pretty amazing," said de Jong. "I cant wait for tomorrow." In the end, however, the Victoria skip didnt need the win to advance, but the various tiebreaker scenarios hadnt all been determined by the time his game began. "Im actually glad I didnt know," he said, after nailing the victory with a clutch outturn draw to the four-foot. "It probably would have put more pressure on us out there. Its easier not knowing, and having fate in your own hands."
