Another thing, Avs passing tonight has been really impressive. They are really moving the puck well.

Yeah, he's only been bailed out a few times, and on that note, seems like the Avalanche are really up to that task of protecting their net and helping him out (and he's doing more than enough to keep the job).
They also seem more content so far in the 3rd to get offensive puck possession time and keep their defensemen back as opposed to the constant 5 man rushes down the ice.

Oilers are cranky.

Nice shutout. Avs totally dominated the 2nd and 3rd.
Onward!

Great choice!
See you sometime tomorrow, when you get out of the arena.

Best all around game since the first game of the playoffs, that was a thing of beauty.

And, whew, what a crowd. It was just fun to be there regardless of the outcome. It basically felt like a party for the entire third period. |

Wasn't too bad time wise, just the standing still at the entrance stairs wondering if it would ever move... ended up back tracking to a stairwell to get out (apparently should have just waited the first time). Just seemed so... inefficient. Getting out of the lot was quick though and the highway was busy but fast. Yeah, tonight was a feel good game from the beginning... a good up and down game in the first with a lot of shots and chances, the sudden burst of goals, and clamping it shut for the 3rd. They looked like a championship team tonight.

Kane has really douched it up the past couple games.

Blues fans get their hero in Evander Kane.

I feel oddly more comfortable watching the PK against the Oilers than I did against the Blues... think I have serious Wild/Knights PTSD.

A better 2nd period overall and was fully expecting a Smith meltdown after the 2nd goal (which was a thing of beauty).
I suspect the pressure is really mounting for the Oilers. So may times in recent years the Avalanche have been in this state of "WTF do we have to do?!?, and I feel like the Oilers must be at that point. Hopefully they can get another past Smith early in the 3rd.
