Avalanche totally controlled the pace of the game and had better puck control

It seemed to me that this was a result of the stars keeping their shifts to 30-45 seconds. It's hard to get momentum or a rhythm when you're getting off the ice and not chasing a dump into the offensive zone.

Most of the Stars offense looked like it was coming off odd man rushes where they had a clear advantage and pursued it. Other than that, I think they were content with crowding the blue line and keeping fresh legs on the ice.

At 2nd intermission, Lundqvist guessed that Stars had 11 scoring chances on 12 shots and it was actually 12 on 13. They picked their rushes well and almost all their shots were dangerous.

With the way these first three games have gone, now seeing what the teams have done in both cities and how Colorado finally put a fairly complete game together and still lost - if Colorado doesn't jump out to a multi-goal lead early in Game 4 the series is probably over.

Good analysis. I felt I was watching 90s hockey. It totally negated all of the Avalanche advantages. That game could have gone 3 more periods and save a bounce or a quirk, the Avs would not have scored. Sometimes you lose a game and it feels like an anomaly and sometimes it feels like the other team has cracked the code. This was the latter.
