And then as soon as Vegas ties it, they get a second.

And then, you know, this game, obviously Colorado had their burst of goals as well.

But then the moment Vegas scored, you know, for all the discourse that we had been writing about for two games, about all the avalanche players talking about how somehow, you know, of the four periods going from the first to the second and the second and the third and the first two games, the avalanche had three power plays that carried over.

where it's like 45 seconds and then intermission, and you've got to come back and try to get a rhythm and, you know, play with the remaining minute 15 of the power play and how it's hard to get into a rhythm.

And, you know, they prefer having power plays that are a full two minutes in one period.

Vegas gets a carryover power play yesterday, down 3-0, and 19 seconds in, Mark Stone scores on, like, this beautiful tick, tick, tack, tack.

That was a great goal.

Like, everybody, just unreal play.

And I'm like, oh, so the...

the carry over power play thing doesn't matter.

And, and as soon as Vegas scored that first goal, it was just like games two and three where it just, everything just tilts in their favor.

I, I, I do think they are all in a complete state of shock.

Um, but it's, it's, it's, you know, it's kind of like last year you, and I don't want to compare the two and I'm not going to sit here and say there's comparisons and the coach doesn't know what he's doing and all that, but it's like,

You had a 2-0 lead on the Dallas Stars.

The moment Mikko Rantanen scored to make it 2-1, it was like, uh-oh, and you couldn't get the game to overtime.

So it's just they're finding new ways to epically collapse.

And, you know, I'm talking about Vancouver Sports Radio, where the team over there was the best team in the world for five years.

The fact that the Avalanche won in 2022 is going to make all of this a lot less haunting, but it is still...

it's pretty epic the way that this keeps happening to them.

I think so.
