Craig Berube on the challenge presented by the Avalanche's five-man attack: "They already have four defensemen with 20 or more points... You don't see that very often"

They're very good at home. Obviously, if you just look at their record, it is a great team over there. They have some really high-end players. We all know that. They play a very fast game. Their defensemen are very active. They skate really well; it's a good skating team over there, and their top line is very dangerous. We know that. MacKinnon is a great player.

'Played police and ball boys': Brazil chief on loss

Even at this altitude of 4,000 meters, we played against the referees, the police, and the ball boys, who were taking the balls off the field and putting them on the field. It was a real mess. This isn't what we expect for world football or South American football. What we want is to grow even further. This kind of attitude, especially when playing at altitude, is difficult. I hope CONMEBOL takes action, precisely because we have everything recorded. This can't happen; it's absurd.
