I couldn't watch all the game last night, but the Avs pulled off the first must win in OT. I kind of knew as my roommate woke me to a cheer of relief at some point. That would have been Joe Sakic's goal 5:15 into the OT. Well, at least they where not swept. Now they just have to win the next 3 games in a row with 2 of them at the HP Pavilion in San Jose.

There is no word on Blake yet, who is still out with an "upper body injury", whatever that means.
