The fear among Avalanche fans was a sweep of the first-round playoff series by Nashville heading into Monday night's Game 3 at the Pepsi Center. There's no worry about that after a dominating 5-3 victory by the Avs before a raucous crowd.
And, based on the Mile High excitement surrounding the Avs, this series could go a lot further than most pundits predicted. Nashville now leads, 2-1. heading into Wednesday's game at the Pepsi Center.
The young-and-relentless Avs — who built a 4-0 lead - aren't going away.
