Goals Against A Problem For the Colorado Avalanche

from Nick Groke of the Denver Post,

Patrick Roy's yelling echoed off the walls of the Avalanche's practice rink Monday. That was between the team skating lap sprints.

After a rough, four-game road trip that left Colorado reeling, Avs coach Roy wasn't going easy on his slipping team.

"The way we practiced today, this is how we'll get back on track," Roy said. "The intensity we had, the compete level we had around the net, that will transpire in our game."

The Avs returned home to Colorado with a 1-4-1 record and a mounting problem. In their five losses this season, the Avs are allowing just less than four goals per game.

That's the problem. Roy, though, wasn't about to pin the cause on Colorado's goaltenders.
