With their collective backs up against the boards and an aggressive cephalopod-like Kraken team bearing down on them in hopes of squeezing the life out of the Stanley Cup Champions, the Colorado Avalanche valiantly tried, yet failed fell the beast, and sent its carcass into the dark depths of Seattle’s Puget Sound in a 2-1 loss in Game 7. Seattle took the series 4-3 with the win and moves on to face the Dallas Stars.
Before the first puck dropped, the depleted, yet, single-minded Avalanche, summoned the services of their missed Captain, Gabe Landeskog to help catalyze the already rambunctious audience to rise and roar.
