That was probably one of the most frustrating games of the year. The Colorado Avalanche fell completely flat against Vancouver to open up a three-game road trip out West, falling by a final score of 3-1.

It would take a while for either team to get on the board, but it would be Vancouver who would score first at the 16:14 mark. Colorado was having another slow first period, what else is new, right? This play initially looked pretty harmless as the puck was sent in front of the net, and it looked like Mackenzie Blackwood froze it and made the save.
