First Period:
If there was ever a time to say the ice was tilted (which seems extremely dangerous) then this period was exactly that. The Ducks simply dominated the Avalanche in every facet of the opening twenty minutes.
Anaheim got an early power play opportunity and things got entertaining. All is well in the world again. Corey Perry is back where he belongs on the first unit. The group instantly looked more dangerous and almost cashed in on a garbage goal in front of the net.
The first period was all about Calvin Pickard.
