  Speaker 1: Greetings, programs, and welcome a mile above sea level with
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: the magnificent Mark Rycroft. I'm Connor McGehee, and this is
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Colorado Avalanche Hockey. Tonight, the Avs are back home to
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: run it back against Dallas. Last night in Big D,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Colorado got a big win thanks to two Marty Natchez
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: goals and a spark from Nathan McKinnon's fight against Ropey Hintz.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Less than 24 hours later, the bad blood spills into
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: the Mile High City. where a Central Division collision hits
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: for the second straight night. So put on your listening
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: sweaters for the Avs and Stars. Force of Nature versus
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Kindergarten Achievement Sticker. Live for your listening pleasure around North
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: America and around the world on the Altitude Sports Radio Network.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Pinching is Walensky. Puck goes behind him. Kadri will guide
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: it back for Brett Kulak.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: Sends it ahead. Left wing. Tucked underneath.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: Kadri lets it go.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: Save made by De Smith as he fought that off.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: Failed clearance.
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: Walensky keeps it alive.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: Kadri holding.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: Thrown in front. They score!
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: Cadre with Landeskog parked in front, and this one better count.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: Oh, captain, my captain.
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: That's his second goal of the season, and the Avalanche
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: finally break the ice.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: Well, this is going to be another deflection. I don't
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: think it went off the foot. I believe it's going
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: to be off the shin pad knee.
• 1:23
  Speaker 5: Potentially this stick, but that's a failed clear by the
• 1:25
  Speaker 5: Dallas Stars.
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: Kadri just throws it right to the net. And I
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: believe this goes.
• 1:30
  Speaker 5: Off the foot of Landis Kog again. I don't see
• 1:33
  Speaker 5: a kicking motion here. Let's hope the puck drops. That's
• 1:37
  Speaker 5: a hard, well-earned goal. It all started with a nifty
• 1:40
  Speaker 5: Brock Nelson pass at the blue line. And the Avs
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: never looked back after that play.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Harley now across his own blue line makes his way
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: to the Avalanche logo. Harley hands it up for Miko
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Ranton Ranton and down to the corner. Harley with it again.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: High in the zone. He's going to leave it off
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: the boards. Plays a deep land of Scott. Ties up
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Miko Ranton. First round picks. 2011 as he's going to
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: shoot some scores short side. And there's no way. That
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Wedgewood will stop that one. Haskinen ties it up with 4.57
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: to go in the second period for Haskinen. That's only
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: his third goal ever versus the Colorado Avalanche.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: Well, Haskinen is that right winger's job.
• 2:28
  Speaker 5: And as Mikko Rantanen and Llandisgaard battle in the corner,
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: Mikko comes out, gets his head up. Haskinen comes from
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: down on the backside. I believe that could be Marty
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: Natchez's play on the backside. He's got to know his
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: defenseman's there. Just get caught snapping his second. And because
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: of that, Wedgwood is buried back into his crease, and Haskin,
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: and that's labeled.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: I mean, that is top bar.
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: If there was a two-by-two-inch cutout hole, that's where he
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: put that puck.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: Wedgwood had no chance.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: Cadry will leave it at the point for McCarr, keeps
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: it in.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: Blocked.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Huru, shorthanded breakaway. Here he comes. Huru on ends.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Backhand, he scores.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: 2-1.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: Stars get... A shorthanded goal.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: It's the third shorty scored this year against the Avalanche.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: And Dallas has a 2-1 lead, a minute and 20
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: seconds into the third period.
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: But McCarr tried to make a move. Tried to slide
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: a pass five-hole.
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: And even the great wheels of McCarr could not get
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: back in time to get.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: Hummer who just goes forehand, backhand, shorty. On a breakaway.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: That's a stinger. I talked about the simple plays.
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: Normally, Cale, you'd think would be able to close that
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: gap and get back, so he's a little stiff-legged, too,
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: from probably not a whole lot of sleep over the
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: last 48 hours.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: That's a tough way to start the third.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Leaves it for Kadri, he approaches Kadri along the goal line,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: tries to sneak it in, never made it on target.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Kadri throws the hit, gets the puck back away from Harley.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: He's shoved down, still retains possession of the puck. Hale
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: McCarr holds, Pirouette says he spins loose at the near
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: side point now for Kadri.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: Underneath, Lekkonen snaps the shot, pours.
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: The net, it ricochets to Brock Nelson, who shoots and scores!
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: Can you smell what the Brock is cooking?
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: For Nelson, it's his third goal of the season. And
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls of all ages, this is.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: A tie hockey game. Avs needed that one.
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: Bit of a butt fumble because he had a one-time
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: slap shot coming from Arturi Lekkonen. It goes right off
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: the keister of Thomas Harley and on a platter for
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: Brock Nelson.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: Had a wide open net.
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: Connor, we can't say we haven't had a couple of breaks.
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: There's maybe more of the hand fumble than the butt fumble.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: Either way. It was a deflection right on the Brock stick.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: And guess what? I don't see a replay coming. It's
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: not going to be challenged. We got a good goal, folks.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Robertson can't get there. Malinsky fanned on it. Had a
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: stick lifted by Jamie Benn down low. Four seconds to go.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Stick is loose down below the goal line. Benn battling.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: That is it for regulation. We are going to overtime.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Each team gets a point. Who will get the extra point?
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Three on three. OT coming your way next. Nelson scored
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: in the third period to tie the game. He can
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: tie it here in the shootout. Nelson tried to go
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: five hole or so. Stars win in a shootout. It
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: doesn't really count, but they get the extra point as
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: they will beat the Avalanche 3-2.
