Colorado Avalanche star Nathan MacKinnon was direct in his assessment of his team's effort in a 4-1 Game 2 loss to the St. Louis Blues on Thursday night.
"We were bad. We were really bad tonight," MacKinnon said with the Western Conference second-round series now tied 1-1. "We just didn't have our jump tonight. But we still feel like we're a great team. We have to forget about it and move on."
Although Colorado needed overtime to win Game 1 against St. Louis, the Avalanche controlled that game. They pumped 54 shots on Blues goalie Jordan Binnington and had 106 shot attempts on the night.
