Episode Details

Colorado Avalanche suffer a double blow as they fall in overtime to the Vegas Golden Knights and lose head coach Jared Bednar to a bizarre bench injury. How will the Avalanche respond with the playoffs looming and key players like Josh Manson also sidelined?

Chris Micieli and Zach Pearson break down the Avalanche’s latest setback, spotlighting standout efforts from Nick Blankenburg and Valeri Nichushkin, and assessing Mackenzie Blackwood’s performance in net. The conversation covers the implications of Bednar’s facial injury, the Nordiques jersey “curse,” and Colorado’s strategy for maintaining momentum with stars resting before the postseason. Plus, the hosts analyze the signing of NCAA free agent TJ Hughes and celebrate the Denver Pioneers’ 11th national title. Don’t miss this action-packed look at how the Avalanche can regroup with adversity mounting before the Stanley Cup chase.
