Suter with a monumental ####up.
Flubs the onetimer for an easy shorthanded breakaway.

Stastney shorthanded. Beautiful play by O'Reilly. He's been the best player on the ice in the first period.

[FlamesAndBruins]

weird penalty there

avs score shorthanded!

[Henry Fool]

A playoff team really should have a better 5-on-3. Looked like the first effort of a preseason.

[dino7c]

you have 2 more guys in the play, why risk a point shot with a guy standing in front of you

just a brutal play

[M*A*S*H 4077]

Varlamov seems to be losing his net a lot this evening. Sliding all over the place

[troutman]

COL hasn't done much lately 5 on 5. Mostly doing it with 4 on 4, SH, PP and EN.

pretty brutal spear in the nuts by Stastny

On the TSN compilation it was probably the tamest of all of them that have happened this postseason so far. But so unnecessary

don't think they've been that great of an ES team all season aside from Varlamov

It just seems like certain teams/players get piled on for plays like that

Oh absolutely, but Stastney isn't known as a dirty player people are more likely to give him the benefit of the doubt. That and it was the closest to a "hockey play" of all the spears.

Colorado with a lot more jump in their step so far in the second

[$ven27]

Holden, 2-2 game. MUCH better game for Colorado vs games 3/4

[M*A*S*H 4077]

2-2 a passing clinic by the Avs. Duchene has shaken off the rust

[M*A*S*H 4077]

Colorado is refusing to make the smart, simple play with the puck in their own end.

[M*A*S*H 4077]

Embarrassing Benoit

[$ven27]

Lol Benoit.

[M*A*S*H 4077]

Minnesota adopting the Boston 'tackle people without the puck and avoid a penalty' strategy
