The Colorado Avalanche’s overtime win Friday night felt so good. I was at the game. When it became clear that the game could go into OT, there were whole shifts near the end when I didn’t breathe for fear an exhale would make the puck go in our net.
As for the overtime itself, once the first big rush started, the entire crowd surged to our feet. And we stayed that way for the entire OT. My heart was beating so fast. I know mine wasn’t the only one.
And when Nathan MacKinnon‘s shot went in!
