Oilers @ Avalanche

Oh man was that a good game last night! It was exciting and fast paced and just... damn that was a good game. The Avs opend up scoring in the 1st, but Edmonton tied it just a few minutes later, the Avs another followed by 2 by the Oilers. And that was just in the first period! The Avs tied the score at 3 in the 3rd period, but neither team let up for a second. Overtime was scoreless and they went to a shootout which required 1 extra shooter per team. I love extra shooters in the shootout. It means that either the shooters are shooting well or the goaltenders are really on. Either way, it's exciting to watch. Lappy, one of my favorite players scored two goals and was the number one star of the game. That was awesome to see, especially since he's more of a grinder than a goal scorer. I love when the guy who's interviewed as the #1 star of the game has bruises all over his face from fighting. So the Avs won 4-3 in a shoot out, and to be perfectly honest I'd have called it a great game even if the Avs lost.
