Summary

The Colorado Avalanche and Minnesota Wild have an offensive affair that saw 14 different goalscorers in a 9 - 6 game. The only multi goalscorer? Cale Makar. The Avs defense was more than just Cale, though. Blankenburg, Toews, and Malinski also picked up goals. 📬 Denver sports in your inbox: https://thednvr.com/newsletter An ALLCITY Network Production PARTY WITH US: https://thednvr.com/events ALL THINGS DNVR: https://linktr.ee/dnvrsports BALL-KNOWER BONUS/Merch: https://promotion.allcitynetwork.com/all SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/c/DNVR_Sports BUY GOLDEN ERA: Golden Era | Triumph Books Raising Cane’s Rooftop Fridays: https://thednvr.com/event/friday-rooftop-club-at-coors-field-presented-by-raising-canes/ Toyota: Visit Your Front Range Toyota Stores at a location near you - Toyota is the official vehicle of DNVR.

0:00.0	Playoff hockey is the best, dude. That game ruled. Avs win over the Minnesota Wilde 9-6 in
0:06.7	game 1 of round 2 to take a 1-0 series lead. When you exclude empty netters, so I'm talking
0:11.6	about goals that were actually scored on a goaltender, there were 15 total in the first
0:17.2	round series against LA. Yeah, 14 goals beat a goaltender in this game alone.
0:21.6	If you were trying to build a game that was as physically different as possible compared to those LA series games, this was it.
0:28.6	And hey, the abs played the game they're in, their offense flourished, and they got it done.
0:32.6	Yes, there's plenty of negatives to take away from this game too, but winning in the playoffs is ultimately the only thing that matters.
0:39.6	Forgive me if I have some brevity in this review, given that I have 14 goals that beat a goaltender to cover.
0:46.7	While this did end up a shootout of a hockey game, it did not start that way.
0:50.8	The first 10 minutes, no goals got scored.
0:53.3	I do think the abs were looking pretty good at
0:55.0	five on five, but some penalty issues slowed them down a little bit. They were able to kill those,
0:59.8	so that's solid. Far more concerningly about those first 10 minutes, Kale McCarr takes a hit from
1:05.2	Felino and leaves the game. He would go down the tunnel and not return until with about two minutes
1:10.6	left in the
1:11.1	first period, at which point he would not take his shift. His next shift wouldn't come until
1:15.4	the start of the second period. And then he was awesome, but we'll get back to that. For the
1:19.7	majority of the first period, the aves were only playing with five defensemen, and they were
1:24.3	still the better team in the first. Things started off with Sam Malinsky.
1:28.0	After winning a neutral zone faceoff, the aves load and execute their breakout to perfection.
1:33.0	They get it to Natchez with speed through the neutral zone,
1:35.3	and he carries that speed across the blue line, getting the avs space before pulling up and looking for a trailing player.
