Cursed? Doomed? Lost season? These Avs? If that’s what it says in the script, then somebody in the production office forgot to send Mikko Rantanen a copy.
“We never put our heads down when we go down,” Rantanen said Sunday after slotting home the game-winner with 21.1 seconds left in overtime as the Avalanche rallied for a wild, woolly 6-5 overtime victory over Edmonton at Ball Arena.
“Even though (it happened) three times in the game … (we) just stick with it. So I think it’s a mental thing.”
The NHL regular season is hockey’s Daytona 500, where finishing in one piece is half the battle.
