The postseason slogan is “Find A Way.”
The Avalanche found many ways to humiliate Nashville on Tuesday night in the first full-capacity playoff game at Ball Arena in nearly three years. The start of the Stanley Cup-or-bust playoffs was a sight to see for Avs fans, who created an electric atmosphere watching their Western Conference No. 1-seeded club dismantle the No. 8 Predators, 7-2.
The Avs scored five goals in the first period, tying a club record for goals in a postseason period. Healthy for the first time all season, it was no contest.
