🏒 NEW: On a day that saw Los Angeles Kings bums Adrian Kempe, Drew Doughty & Brandt Clarke try to bully the #Avalanche, Colorado gave L.A. a giant Wedgie. And they deserved it. @DenverPost column from Game 1:

If Scott Wedgewood keeps playing like he did Sunday, the Kings have only two paths for pulling off an upset: Either boring the Avalanche to death while hoping goalie Anton Forsberg can somehow steal a win; or goading multiple Colorado stars…
It looked more like a Kings kinda game than an #Avs kinda game, but it was also job done for Colorado.
Top line scored a greasy one, fourth line had a pretty one and that was enough in front of Scott Wedgewood's fantastic first NHL playoff start.

Scott Wedgewood is today's first star of the game as the #Avs defeat the Los Angeles Kings by a score of 2-1!
Logan O'Connor is the second star, and Arturri Lehkonen is the third star!
They lead their first round series 1-0! #GoAvsGo
The Avalanche with a bit of a scare in game one although they controlled most of the play.
No harm, no foul.
15 more to go! #GoAvsGo
Brandt Clarke dropped #Avs Logan O'Connor with a whoopise didn't see you there elbow to the face during that Kings power play.
LOC had some words and a visual re-creation of what happened for the nearest official on his way to the bench.
