I havent read everything, but that was fantastic! That was playoff hockey!

The Knights played a game-plan against the Avs to perfection and thats the kind of hockey I love to see.

That Vegas forecheck was relentless. It was wave after wave, line after line, causing hell in the Avalanche zone.

Preventing the breakout, rotation among the players, two men in on the forecheck preventing the Avs from easily clearing their zone, and it starts with excellent centers allowing the D to pinch and rotate and hold the line.

The Avs would get control, have a couple forwards looking for the outlet and the Knights would break it up and then gain offensive zone time.

Just look at how many goals were generated just by not letting the Avs clear their zone and then capitalizing on defensive mistakes.

Whats that? Going up in a series only to lose 4 straight? Couldnt happen to a nicer bunch of guys!
