Stolen win in St. Louis soaked in recent memories of Avalanche playoff theatrics

ST. LOUIS — When Pavel Francouz stepped on the ice Sunday morning, he looked around Enterprise Center. Recent history came flooding back.

“All the memories popped up in my head,” the Avalanche goalie told The Post. “It really feels like we were here just yesterday. It doesn’t feel that long ago.”

A controversy involving the opposing goalie and a soaring water bottle. A return flight for a Game 6 in the playoffs that Colorado wanted to avoid but couldn’t, thanks to a squandered three-goal lead. A last-second miracle and an ecstatic celebration before the buzzer.

That last part was so fun, why not repeat it?
