series

"That was quite an explosion," said Avalanche forward Chris Drury, who scored Colorado's first goal in the second period. "We've got some pretty talented guys out there and at any minute we can explode like we did tonight."

Colorado, who won the first three games by one-goal margins, was finally able to dominate.

"Just because they're the eighth seed, we knew they weren't going to fall over for us," Drury said. "They definitely gained a lot of respect."
