Did you miss this feeling?
The Colorado Avalanche defeated the San Jose Sharks in the Shootout by a final score of 2-1 and advanced to 2-0-0 on the young season. What was overall another sloppy, yet typical offensive show by the Avs was frustrating for the majority of the game, as poor ice conditions, an outstanding performance from Sharks netminder MacKenzie Blackwood, and numerous grade-A scoring opportunities unsuccessfully finished made this game play out a lot differently than the stat sheet would suggest.

The Avalanche came storming out of the gates once again tonight, establishing their high-tempo style onto the game early on.
