Colorado Avalanche explode to stun Vancouver Canucks 5-4 in overtime

In what may have been the most thrilling victory of the season, the Colorado Avalanche come back from a three goal deficit to stun the Vancouver Canucks 5-4 in overtime.

The first period was pretty forgettable with no goals. Neither team really took advantage and looked to be headed toward a sleepy affair. But that was not indicative of the rest of the contest.

Then seven goals happened in the middle frame. Vancouver struck first on a goal from Darren Archibald which snuck behind the goal line just 34 seconds into the period.
