DENVER — How bad do you want it, Nathan MacKinnon?
With the exception of Game 4, where things got cuckoo immediately and largely stayed there, the Stanley Cup Final have been dictated by the team — Avalanche or Lightning — that controlled the first 20 minutes.
Game 1: The Gabe Landeskog and Val Nichushkin Show set the tone for the party, firing the hosts to a 3-1 lead at the first intermission, and a 4-3 Avs win in overtime.
