NHL Fans express their frustration as Avalanche's woes continue

Colorado's powerplay has gone from one of the best to one of the worst.
DENVER (AP) -- The sound was one the Colorado Avalanche have rarely heard since moving to Denver seven years ago: booing from the home crowd.
With its power play fizzling and its home winless streak on the verge of extending to seven games, the Avalanche heard the jeering during a 3-2 overtime loss to Anaheim on Friday night.
"It's certainly not fun," Colorado coach Bob Hartley said.
Colorado seemed in control behind a solid night from goalie David Aebischer and Radim Vrbata's second goal in as many nights, but became complacent in the third period. The Avalanche managed just six shots and repeatedly fell back on their heels on defense, leading to two Anaheim power plays in the period.
Anaheim took advantage, tying the game on a goal by Ruslan Salei with 3:25 left in regulation and ending it 20 seconds into overtime on Niclas Havelid's first goal in 366 days.
"Teams in this league that don't have respect for you play like they did in the third period," Anaheim coach Mike Babcock said. "They put their hands in the air not expecting you to be able to come back."
Power play struggles
Colorado had a chance to extend its lead after Alex Tanguay scored 7:22 into the game, but couldn't get the puck by Anaheim goalie Jean-Sebastien Giguere. The Avalanche's struggling power play didn't help either.
Giguere made a tough stop on a quick one-timer by Sakic early, then turned away successive close-range shots by Tanguay and Joe Sakic on a power play. He also made a nice play to knock Tanguay off the puck on another power play late for one of his 28 saves.
Colorado has gone from one of the best on the power play last season to one of the worst this year. The Avalanche have scored just 13 goals in 81 chances with a man advantage after going 0-for-6 against Anaheim.
It got so bad that the home crowd booed when Martin Skoula ran into Steven Reinprecht behind the Avalanche's net during a power play in the first period.
"We've got to turn this around and we will turn it around," Colorado defenseman Adam Foote said.
No help for goalie
Aebischer, playing his third straight game in place of injured starter Patrick Roy, had the Avalanche in position for the victory, but didn't get much help.
He stopped 27 shots after allowing eight goals the previous two games, but remained winless in five games this season after allowing two goals in a span of 4:45.
"Our problem is not between the posts, it's between the ears," Hartley said. "That is where our problem is right now. You cannot fault David Aebischer for tonight's game."
Havelid's scored his fourth career game-winner on a feed from Paul Kariya, one-timing it past Aebischer.
"I didn't have much time to think about it," said Havelid, who scored his first goal since Nov. 7, 2001, against Calgary. "I tried to get my stick there and put it over the goalie. I never saw it. I ran into a few players and looked around and saw it was in."
