Avs play dead as cup hopes are critically wounded
A slow start to end all others saw the Colorado Avalanche give up a 4-0 lead after two periods. The defecit was too much for the Avs who rallied in the 3rd to give the scoreline a more respectable 5-3 finish.
A very strong 3rd period offers some hope for the Avs but whether or not that can outweigh the diabolical shenanigans of the first 40 minutes remains to be seen. A ton of shots again tonight but still no win and we have all to do in Game 3 in Denver on Thursday.
Branko has 3 points in 2 games since coming back. Joe Thornton still posted missing. Hopefully he's saving it up for the home fans. Its all uphill from here as we can now only lose 1 in 5 against a very strong Coyotes outfit.
