Holy shit, what a sequence.... McDavid with a PP shot that goes off Frankie's mask and glove. The ringing of the post followed by Compher's goal that he didn't even realize went in until after he searched for the puck under Smith.
All that after the dumb tripping call for dude catching an edge (can't complain much though given how many PP chances the Avalanche are getting because the Oilers have been a bunch of goons the past couple games). [Reply]
That second goal by Nichushkin was pretty crazy. I want to see another replay of that, because it looked like a curveball coming at the goal.
Francouz looked great again. Gut had lots of defender help again. Really like how the Avs are defending overall this series. Lots of times tonight, they were sending defenders directly at McDavid and Draisaitl and just completely taking them out of play. Smart play tonight. [Reply]

From the replay during the live broadcast it looked like he intentionally put it right between the defender's legs and just inside the far post. Absolutely sick. Val snipes. [Reply]
Didn't notice it before, but think it hits off the defender's leg.
Yeah, watching that it goes off the defenders leg, through his legs. Smith shifted toward the shot before the deflection and just took himself out of position.

And Kane after the game (after some bullshit about "just getting up on Kadri and he awkwardly fell") ....the margin for error is very slim right now and we're seeing that.
You don't say, maybe spend less time on the cheap shots and more time doing hockey things then..... only wish the Avalanche had scored 3 goals on that major PP just to hear him say that in the post game. [Reply]
....it was on the sidebar on one of their more recent videos. One of the most predictable falls of a championship team, when you commit a 3rd of your cap to two players along with all of the other big contracts...
