Things really snowballed for the Colorado Avalanche on Friday.
Holding a 1-0 lead over the New York Rangers more than halfway through the second period, head coach Patrick Roy watched as his team fell into a 2-1 hole within the span of 21 seconds, thanks to Derek Stepan and Oscar Lindberg.

The first came after a fortuitous bounce off the end glass, while the second was scored from a seemingly impossible angle.
