It didn’t happen, the Avs went on to be the 8th place team in the Western Conference and have a chance at the Stanley Cup. The critics then said the young team from Colorado would get swept by the “powerhouse” Sharks in the first round. Again, didn’t happen. The Avalanche exited in Game 6 and blew all the critics away.

The fans in Denver saw three scoreless periods and 51 seconds of overtime before something quite odd happened.
