The parade continues.

The Colorado Avalanche played the final 4:48 of regulation time shorthanded in the second game of their series against the Stars Monday, including nearly 30 seconds of 5-on-3 play. I get that the refs are supposed to be calling it close as they did during the regular season, but its starting to get rediculous. It's almost as though they are actively trying to find excuses to call more penalties. I thought the goaltender interference call on Dan Hinote seemed especially bogus as it appeared that he had been checked into Turco by a Stars defenseman. OLN didn't show any replays though, so I can't be sure.

Incredible accomplishment by the Avs though, to score a shorthanded goal during that span and then win the game in OT, after having blown a 3-0 lead. Great game.
