This wasn’t the Colorado Avalanche team we are used to seeing at the Pepsi Center. Having won their previous five games on home ice, Tuesday night’s 4-2 loss in game three of the Western Conference semifinal showed more than a few cracks in Colorado’s armor. The San Jose Sharks were able to jump on some disjointed defensive play from the Avalanche to grab a 2-1 series lead.
In what was their worst home game so far in these playoffs, the Avs played pretty well for the opening 10 minutes but ended up falling flat for large portions of the game.
