The Canucks welcomed the Avalanche on this Friday night.

If you wanted to see a bunch of goals, this was the game for you as the Canucks walked away with a 7-6 overtime win.

Another added bonus of the evening was Canucks owner Francesco Aquilini “live-tweeting” the game throughout the evening. It added something a different level of intrigue to the 15th game of the season.

Even if the Avalanche were tired or not, Elias Pettersson and Brock Boeser took advantage early with a goal fifty-eight seconds into the game.

The trio of Pettersson, Boeser, and Nikolay Goldobing continued to push the pace offensively, hardly leaving the Avalanche zone early in the game.

Took until the 8:31 mark of the first period before the Avalanche were able to record their first shot and it was a harmless one with Gabriel Landeskog hitting Jacob Markstrom in the chest.

The dynamic duo of EP40 and Boeser had another fantastic chance later in the period with Pettersson sending Boeser in on a breakaway. Brock wasn’t able to bury the puck and demanded a penalty from the refs, but alas no power-play was awarded on it. The Canucks did have a couple of powerplays’ throughout the period but were unable to find the back of the net.

Francesco is onto something here.

The Canucks walked out of the first period with a 1-0 lead and 8-6 in shots.

The Avalanche were able to score early in the second period as Sheldon Dries continued his hot streak with the tipped goal

Elias Pettersson and Brock Boeser connected again for a goal that reminded fans of the Sedin twins

Oh boy, what a play.

Before the excitement about the last goal vacated the bowels of Rogers Arena, the Avalanche responded to tie the game at 2

The news was fast and furious in the second period as Matt Calvert crosschecked Brock Boeser in the back

Boeser returned shortly after despite his grimacing on the bench for some time.

The Canucks took a short-lived lead with Loui Eriksson finding the back of the net:

After that, the Avalanche stormed back and it started with Nathan MacKinnon scoring to tie the game at 3

Shortly after that, Alexander Kerfoot scored to give Colorado their first lead of the game

The back and forth period continued with Elias Pettersson picking up first goal and third point of the night off the scramble in front

At the end of the second period, the Avalanche led in the shot category by an 18-16 score.

The goal fest continued early in the third period as Brendan Gaunce and Alex Biega got their wires crossed which allowed Nikita Zadorov to come in and put the Avalanche up 5-4 in the third

Markstrom probably wants that one back.

From that point onwards, the Canucks were pressing to get the tie-ing goal, they were afforded a power-play in the middle part of the frame after Ian Cole hit Tyler Motte.

Boeser had a glorious chance with the first unit but it was Markus Granlund who tied the game at 5

You wanted this game to make it to OT, just so we could see Pettersson and Boeser do their thing, and for a brief moment, it appeared that chance was lost as Bo Horvat took a penalty late in the third and Colorado’s big three took it from there.

But it was a night where the legend of EP40 grew a little more. Off an Avalanche turnover, it was Boeser to Horvat to Pettersson. Tie game at 6.

Both teams pocketed a point and headed to overtime.

Like the rest of the game, it was a back and forth affair with chances on both sides.

Pettersson gave himself a breakaway chance before getting taken down by Alexander Kerfoot, I’ll let Francesco ask the question for everyone

They were given a power play on the play though. Horvat was absolutely robbed, moments before this happened:
