SAN JOSE — It sounded like a gunshot.
During a pathetic playoff performance when the Avs were often meek as a mouse, it was the only real noise Nathan MacKinnon and the Colorado offense made all night long.
Walking off the ice to the dressing room after a 2-1 loss to San Jose put the Avs on the brink of elimination from the NHL postseason, J.T. Compher killed a trash can.

Compher slammed his stick against the metal bin in a hallway underneath the stands with enough force to leave a foot-long gash.
