We had a lot of self-inflicted wounds last night, but let's give credit to the Avalanche, too. They have a gear we don't possess because they have elite talent like MacKinnon, Makar and Rantanen who can raise their game higher than most mortals when the need arises. When they turned it up a notch, we looked overmatched last night. Still, if we can manage to win on Monday, a whole new dynamic takes over and the pressure will be on the Avalanche to close out the series. It's not looking great at the moment for the Kraken, but Colorado is not yet a fait accompli either.
