In Game 4, one team finally dominated, with the Avs winning 5-1. That broke a string of three consecutive 3-2 overtime games between the two closely-matched rivals. The story of the game, aside from the score, was an ugly third period that prompted Avs coach Joel Quenneville to keep Peter Forsberg off the ice. [link]
