Colorado Avalanche coach Jared Bednar was not a happy man after watching his team blow an opportunity to take a 3-0 series lead over the Vegas Golden Knights on Friday night.

"The easy answer is this: For five periods straight now, they've been far more competitive than we have. To dissect the game any further than that is a waste of time," he said after Vegas rallied with two third-period goals for a 3-2 win, cutting Colorado's series lead to 2-1.
