Stadium Series Review #2

The Red Wings beat the Colorado Avalanche 5-3 Saturday night at Coors Field with Brad Richards scoring the game winning goal in the third. This is what happened in fast paced game. The Red Wings struck first with Thomas Tatar getting his own rebound for a nice goal. The Avalanche would respond with Nathan Mackinnon scoring with a nice wrist shot from the top of the circle. The Avalanche would take their first lead with Tyson Barrie scoring with a nice little dangle to beat Petr Mrazek. Gustav Nyquist had a nifty no looker backhand to tie up the game for the Red Wings. Darren Helm had a weird looking pass to Justin Abdelkader who was right there to give the Red Wings their second lead of the game. Alex Tanguay scored a one timer to tie up the game, but that would be the last goal for the Avalanche. With one minute remaining Brad Richards put it in with nobody near him, and Darren Helm put it away with an empty netter. I'd say this game was a huge success for the NHL and for the fans. It was fast paced and was a close game unlike the Wild and Blackhawks, but the Avalanche did lose their first outdoor game, but they played well, and for the Red Wings they got out of a mini slum and should be making the playoffs again. Was this a good game? Could the Avalanche have won? Will they get another outdoor game? stay tuned.... P.S I am doing a trade deadline review after the trade deadline so stay tuned for that!
