Avs vs Kings September 24th, 2008

Avalanche preseason opener, What a blast! Despite the shootout loss, I thought the boys did a great job even with a few defensive giveaways. Better to get it over with in the preseason. Ryan Smith was all over the place with 2 goals and an assist tonight. Also got him in a cool moment when a puck flew over the glass into the crowd as he turned to make sure everyone was ok. Im going to the Dallas game tommorow so look for more pix from that one.
