  Speaker 1: Force of nature versus plural primary color. Live for your
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: listening pleasure around North America and around the world on
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: the Altitude Sports Radio Network. A car hacked at by Holloway.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: And then Broberg, the former Oilers, got the offer sheet.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: That Edmonton did not match once upon a time. Paves.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: Natchez.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: Nathan McKinnon on the end around. McKinnon will take it.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Down the left line. McKinnon throws on the brakes. Looks
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: for a centering pass.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: It's Natchez. Back door. Captain. Late score. Oh, hail, kale.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: It's a thing of beauty.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: A mile above sea level.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: Kale McGar's first goal.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Of the season. And it is a dandy if you do.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: But the Blues have tightened it up. And the connection
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: is yet to be made after. Turnover Blues. Natchez receives
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: on the backhand.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: Oh, he scores! It's a Marty party! A laser beam
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: from Marty Natchez beats Binnington, and it's 2-0 Colorado.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: His first goal of the season, and it's a multi-point
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: period for Marty Natchez. Stuck out by Parker Kelly. He's
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: got Waugh at the point.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: Waugh swings it for.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Manson who lets it go.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: They score! Josh Manson! Rifles one from the deep slot.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: It pinballed on its way through.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: And it's 3-0 Colorado.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: I think it went off of.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Two different St. Louis Blues in it. Blues to the point.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Broberg went centrally. The puck went behind him. So he
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: has to recover. Now Bennington in the trap as well.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: Plays it ahead.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Knocked down by Leckanen.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: And he scores! We're up all night to get Lecky!
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Binnington went for a walk. He went to play the puck,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: threw it out front. It was knocked out of midair
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: by Arturi Lekkonen. He gets his third goal of the season,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: and it's Ford, nothing, Avalanche. Tipped in by Svechkov. The
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Cavs simplify to get it in behind Binnington. Golfed ahead,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: kept in by Manson on the backhand. Tipped by Waugh.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: Waugh gets it back, and he scores! Jolly old St.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Nicholas goes in back-to-back games for the big number 10.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: And he is a 10.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: 158 to go in the second period.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: The St.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Louis Blues are drinking from a fountain that's poured like
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: an avalanche that's coming down the mountain.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: It's 5-0 Colorado. Assisted on the play by number 17,
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Parker Kelly. Here's Natchez, he scores!
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Another turnover down low by the Blues. And for the
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: second time tonight, it's a Marty.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Party.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: 14 goals for the Avalanche. Through not even five periods
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: of hockey in 26-27. McKinnon for Landeskog, out in front
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: for Natchez, off the left skate of Finnington. And the
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Avalanche have scored a touchdown on the St.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Louis Blues.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Now he's got the puck in the corner. Hughes can't
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: get to it. One-timer is faked, and they score on
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: the backhand, Dvorsky. Manson fanned on the clearing attempt, and
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: Dvorsky will get his second goal in as many nights,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: and the Blues are on the board. 17-26 to go
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: in the third period. It's 6-1 Colorado. Last change of
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: the game. 12 seconds left. Blues parked behind their own
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: net now. Lindstein emerges. Sends it ahead. In between the circles.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: Knocked away.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Three seconds.

  Speaker 2: Two seconds. One second. Sound the horn! A perfect start

  Speaker 2: to the season for the Colorado Avalanche.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Two games on home ice. Two wins.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: And are you not entertained?
