It was right there. In their hands. And the Colorado Avalanche let the Western Conference Finals slip away, at least for a game. While still leading the series 3-2, one can't help but wonder if the hockey gods are playing jokes on the Avs to get past the second round.

You could not have asked for a better start. For the first time in the series the Avalanche scored first and they kept the pressure on in scoring the the first three goals of the game. But St. Louis played like their season was on the line, because lets face it, it was. The Blues started to chip away at the Avs lead and eventually caught up to them to tie it at 3. But then Nathan MacKinnon went full beast mode to score with only a few minutes left. But with less than a minute to go and the goalie pulled, St. Louis found the net again to send it into OT where then would eventually get the game winner.

No doubt this will stings. But the Avs will have to forget it as soon as possible and look at the positives. Like the two games you already played in St. Louis, you won.
