It’s tough trying to get out of your own grave that you’re digging.
That was the message for the Colorado Avalanche in Game Two against the Dallas Stars, as they got themselves into a hole they couldn’t get themselves out of. They went down 4-0 and couldn’t make it all the way back in the end, with a 5-3 loss in Texas.
Three third-period goals made things interesting for the Avs, but they couldn’t muster it all up in the end. While it was fun in the third with streaky scoring for the Avalanche, it was the first 40 minutes of the game which was the biggest problem.
