Instant reaction from the Avalanche’s 3-2 loss to the Seattle Kraken in Game 5 of their first-round Stanley Cup Playoffs series. 1. Four blind mice? We’re not going to say the zebras have been making stuff up this as they go, but … oh, to heck with it. We will. Darn straight, we will. Nathan MacKinnon gets tripped by Will Borgen at center ice late in the first period and no call? After Jack Johnson got two minutes in the sin bin for contact that looked far more incidental? MacKinnon finally let his rage flag fly with about 9:50 left in the second stanza, when he appeared to be on the receiving end of another Borgen trip — this one near the boards as the two got their skates tangled.
