After 14-hour drive we finally came to Minnesota. We spent there one day and were driving back immediately after the end of the game in the Xcel Energy Center. The Avs unfortunately lost the second game in a row. After two last losses, we know the Eurolanche Invasion V will not become the most successful trip regarding the final Avalanche record. It was well deserved loss. In spite of that we enjoyed the game and recorded videos, available soon.

The lost game was not alone unfortunate on the road. The small stone hit the window of the rented car and yes, we had to pay extra 250 dollars to the company. Bad luck. What else should I add?

Besides hockey, we visited Mall of America, the biggest mall in the USA. You can bet we spent next hundreds dollars for souvenirs and presents to our friends and families. Then we looked around the city center and went to the game.

We are in safe in Denver, the nicest place in the USA and maybe in the world. The Saturday schedule includes the Avalanche early afternoon game and then a visiting of the lacrosse game in Pepsi Center. - by David
