What just happened? The Avalanche win Game 1 of the Western Conference Final 8-6 over the Edmonton Oilers, in one of the most mind numbing and strange games of all time. We do our best to breakdown the insanity of this series opener, and there are plenty of storylines that flared up. How did the Avs top line match up against McDavid and the Oilers top line? Should Cale Makar's goal have counted? Darcy Kuemper had a gaff for an easy goal, but eventually left the game after a flare up of his eye injury, forcing Pavel Francouz into the game to make some huge saves. Who will start Game 2? Most important, is this kind of play sustainable to win this round?
