It was a different time in American history. The biggest threat to our national security was Russia as long-time cold war rivals. President Jimmy Carter was considering a boycott of the Summer Olympics in Moscow and Captain & Tennille were had the #1 song in the country with “Do That To Me One More Time.” Rich Eisen was 10 years old and John Madden was 54.

The Avalanche came into the Staples Center without Captain and Leader Joe Sakic, but were still able to hold off a late rally by the Kings to win 4-2.
The Kings came out slow and lifeless, which led to a Dustin Brown, Holding penalty 2 minutes into the 1st period. It only took Ryan Smyth 25 seconds to make Dustin Brown and the Kings pay for the penalty, by putting the Avalanche up 1-0. Only a minute later, Jan Hlincka got a break away and backhanded the puck over Jason LaBarbera's right pad into the net to give the Avs a 2 goal lead less than four minutes into the game. 14:12 into the 1st period the Avs young sensation Peter Stastny made it 3-0 with a goal assisted by Hejduk and Liles. It was all Av's in the 1st period out shooting the Kings 16-4.
