And, as promised above, here are those telling numbers:
4-5 -- Avs' all-time Game 7 record since moving to the Centennial State in 1995
4-2 -- Colorado's Game 7 home record during that span, with the last such contest coming on April 22, 2003 in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Wild -- current coach Patrick Roy's final game in net for the Avs. (Incidentally, the visiting team won five of the seven games in that conference quarterfinal series)
2-0 -- Minnesota's Game 7 record during the past 20 seasons, with both victories coming in 2003 and both coming on the road.
43-33 -- Overall Game 7 home record for NHL teams over the past 20 seasons. Fourteen of those contests went to OT, with the hosts and visitors each claiming seven wins apiece.
12-0 -- The Avs' all-time playoff series record when winning the first two games -- as they have in this series -- since relocating to Colorado
