Mile High Hockey

FINAL: #Avs 3 - #Oilers 4

The game misconduct against Nathan MacKinnon really took the wind out of Colorado's sails, and they were unable to rebound. Just an odd game in terms of the officials in general.

Can't win 'em all. #GoAvsGo

Bednar takes a timeout with 34.9 seconds left with an empty net. Draw in the Edmonton end. #GoAvsGo

Down to 1:28 left in the game. #GoAvsGo

Empty net for Colorado. #GoAvsGo

Avalanche back to the power play! #GoAvsGo

Connor McDavid re-establishes Edmonton's lead. Not gonna be Toews' favorite replay. #GoAvsGo

Nicolas Roy goes off for high-sticking. #GoAvsGo

Another penalty coming up on Colrado. #GoAvsGo

VALERI NICHUSHKIN!!! 🚨

THE X-FACTOR IS GETTING HOT AT THE PERFECT TIME AND JUST AFTER THE PENALTY KILL!!

3-3 tie hockey game! #GoAvsGo

MacKinnon went 932 games without receiving a game misconduct. #GoAvsGo

Great work by the penalty killers and great saves by Blackwood, who's coming alive a bit here in the third! #GoAvsGo

Good save by Blackwood there.

If the Avalanche kill this off they should come out of it with a ton of momentum. #GoAvsGo

Jared Bednar gave the referee his two cents right out of the gate. He stayed calm and respectful in the Bedsy way. #GoAvsGo

Trysten Jarry will be put to the test in the third period.

#GoAvsGo

END OF 2ND: #Avs 2 - #Oilers 3

Well, the major and misconduct have been assessed to Nathan MacKinnon, and his night is done. Nazem Kadri chats with a ref after the period ends to get some clarification.

Either way, Edmonton has an elongated power play to start the third. #GoAvsGo

Nathan MacKinnon has been assessed a major penalty for goaltender interference and a game misconduct. Wow. #GoAvsGo

This is taking a long time. #GoAvsGo

Darnell Nurse caught MacKinnon's hip just before MacKinnon made contact with Ingram; that could be enough to reduce this to a minor penalty. #GoAvsGo

MacKinnon made contact with Ingram, and Ingram is down. It wasn't intentional, but it will be a penalty. A major penalty. This will allow them to take a look at it. #GoAvsGo

Another power play coming up for Colorado! #GoAvsGo 🏒

Penalty killed! #GoAvsGo

Brock Nelson is heading off for holding the stick.

I'm working really hard to filter my feelings about that call. #GoAvsGo

Brock Nelson is heading off for holding the stick.

I'm working really hard not to filter how I feel about that call. #GoAvsGo

Ross Colton isn't on the bench.. #GoAvsGo

I think the #Avs would tell you that they aren't having the best night defensively. There's still time to turn it around. #GoAvsGo

Nugent-Hopkins re-directs the pass from Darnell Nurse, and Edmonton leads 3-2. #GoAvsGo

The second period has begun! #GoAvsGo

END OF 1ST: #Avs 2 - #Oilers 2

Roslovic's goal with 24.8 seconds left in the first effectively nullified all the good work that Colorado did in the period. Manson & Burns chose the same player, leaving a guy open in front. That's happened twice in three games with Mans. #GoAvsGo

Not sure that fight deserves a tweet. #GoAvsGo

MARTIN NECAS!! 🚨

Shooting the puck does magical things, and letting Necas and MacKinnon share the circle is WORKING!

2-1 Avalanche! #GoAvsGo
