11. The Start of the game was like:
The Blues/Aves game was touted to be a great Matchup and fun for Blues Fans as the Blues were 3-0 in the regular season Series.
10. The First period Started and the Blues came out strong for the first ten minutes.
Things went downhill from there. With a multitude of dumb penalties. But the Blues ended the period 0-0 with hope.
09. The Second period started and the Aves scored 1:14 into the period.
08. The Avs proceeded to take over the game. Scoring again at 6:20.
07. The Avs were then awarded a goal in the most ridiculous way possible.
The goal was initially waved off by the official on the ice due to a kicking motion. The on ice decision was overturned by Toronto by the longest video review session ever. The official Explanation from the Situation Blog:
At 10:25 of the second period in the Avalanche/Blues game, video review supported the referee's call on the ice that the puck kicked by Colorado's Nick Holden made contact with Steve Ott's stick before crossing the St. Louis goal line. According to Rule 49.2, "A kicked puck that deflects off the stick of any player (excluding the goalkeeper's stick) shall be ruled a good goal." Good goal Colorado.
