After the recent Blackhawks win and the Duchene's OT winner I wanted to make a list of the best Avs games of the year, so I wouldn't forget. It's a long season and I want to be able to hold on to these games. But first, I figured I should backtrack and cover last year.
These are in chronological order, with no rankings.

December 2, 2011
Avs 3, Blues 2 (SO)
A back and forth game that Colorado appeared to win in OT but the goal was correctly waved off as it never crossed the line. But O'Reilly (after tying the game in the 3rd) is the only one to find twine in the shootout.
December 13, 2011
Avs 4, Sharks 3 (SO)
After giving up a goal in the final 30 seconds, Landeskog wins it with his first career shootout attempt.
December 23, 2011
Avs 2, Lightning 1 (OT)
I was watching this game in O'Fallon (our last Christmas there). And Duchene wins it in overtime.
February 25, 2012
Avs 4, Red Wings 3
Colorado goes on the road against the #1 team in the league and opens up a 3-0 lead, then holds on to win it.
March 12, 2012
Avs 3, Ducks 2 (OT)
This was my first Avalanche win in person and it's Landeskog with the OT winner. Awesome.
March 14, 2012
Avs 5, Sabres 4 (SO)
This was the best moment of the year. Trying to make the playoffs and down 3-4, Landeskog pushes the puck up the ice with tens seconds to go. McGinn ends up scoring with 1.7 left in the game to send it to overtime.
