Wow. That was crazy. I had zero confidence in the Avs after a couple minutes of OT. Stars had 100% of the momentum. Avs couldn't even get the puck out of their own zone.
Great tough win. Those home fans gotta hate that..

Rough night for Stars and Mavs. Not a good sports news day out of the big D.

Ha, I was thinking last night it seemed like every few games I watched in the regular season was a 3 or 4 goal comeback, so who knows... guess I have some OT hockey to watch this afternoon.

That was such a sweet pass! And Wood is almost as fast as MacKinnon.
That being said, the Avs 100% stole that game. Dallas outplayed them, especially in O/T. But to win a Cup, you've got to steal a few games over the course of the playoffs. |

Overall, I thought the right team won, and the fancy stats seem to back that up. (They have expected goals at 2.50 to 1.07 in favor of the Avs, for example.) |

And then the ice tilted about 4 minutes into the 2nd... the Stars couldn't even get into their zone on the PP until like 30 seconds left. And the first 7-8 minutes of the 3rd was spent in the Avalanche zone, and a good amount until a few minutes left, even though the Avalanche went a while without a SOG in the 3rd. OT was strange because the Avalanche had plenty of zone time in the first few minutes, yet like 1 SOG to show for it. The Stars of course carried play for several minutes. A little surprised Oettinger was so confused on the OT winner... Wood was in no position to shoot near side, but Oettinger played it like he was and looked completely baffled Wood would cut across like that. A choppy game overall... not a ton of sustained offense or SOG, but still a lot of dangerous players on the ice at any given time. Maybe the best night of the playoffs so far. And on a side note, it's times like these I really appreciate YTTV over most cable/satellite boxes... no more bullshit with recording the 6 shows after hockey to make sure you catch all the OTs, much less screwing with one game being on ESPNU for 2 periods and then switching back. It ended up with one recording of the 2nd on ESPNU and then a second for the 3rd period on ESPN. Mildly concerned at first seeing that it cut off, but caught both the Canes/Rangers OT and the entire Avalanche game across channels. (and that Canes crosscheck was weak)

To all you bitter, hater AVS fans!!..congrats on your win In game one. I hate Dallas and Deboar and believe it or not I'm rooting for you guys to knock them out after them chumps got so much puck luck against my knights in round one.
(Then if you beat Dallas I'll return to rooting for you to lose again but we'll cross that bridge when we get there ![]() |

Swayman is in that zone. He’s in complete control right now. It continues and it will be hard to bet against the Bruins. Ulmark may never see the net again. Bruins up 1-0 after 1

I think I jinxed Swayman. Cats get 3 by him in the third. The last one coming with .3 seconds left. 3-1 Cats

Holy crap. FLA is dominating the offensive zone right now. BOS just gave away the puck 3 times in their own zone in just the last couple minutes, and a goal now.

Lol, now they're changing goalies??? The problem isn't Swayman, idiots. Your defensemen are shitting their panties.

Coaches will often do it to wake up the rest of the team.

Yeah, I know. But it's not working, and their best goalie is now sitting on the bench, lol. Besides, I have to gloat; it's BOS and I hate that team.

Yeah, they still don't have a shot on goal in the 3rd.... this is far closer to what I expected out of the series after watching them against the Leafs.
