Instant reactions: OWEN TIPPETT'S HAT TRICK LEADS FLYERS TO UPSET OF THE YEAR IN COLORADO

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

55% : After Sam Ersson made 17 first period saves, the Philadelphia Flyers escaped the first period with a 2-0 lead, and despite a back-and-forth second that saw the Colorado Avalanche tie the game twice, Owen Tippett took over in the third period, scoring 56 seconds in to put the Orange & Black back on top, and then, net a short-handed breakaway goal after picking off Cale Makar's cross-ice bid to complete his second career hat trick and bookend Matvei Michkov's 11th of the season to give the Flyers an unlikely 6-3 lead.
41% : The barrage of penalties was once again an issue, and Nathan MacKinnon certainly had his say in the contest, but it was Philadelphia who came away with two points, handing the Avs only their second regulation loss at home this season.
36% : Tippett broke up Makar cross-ice attempt and took it the whole way, beating Blackwood five-hole.
