In addition to the Wild’s best game and Avs’ worst game, I’ll add that the puck luck also clearly went to MIN which explains the blow out. Seems unlikely that the Avs will play THAT bad again, that Minny will play THAT good again, and that the puck luck will be so heavily one-sided again, all in the same game.

After a wild game 1, game 2 tilted to the Avs in many facets (play and luck), and game 3 tilted to MIN in many facets, I’m prepared for the remainder of the series to be what we expected out of the gate – close, hard fought battles that end up as one-goal/OT slugfests.
