The Avalanche as a team played an excellent game and I wouldn’t have given any legitimate grades lower than a ‘C’ tonight. This was a team that (finally) met the moment in a huge way.

Love it!!

Hey AJ, do you think Mack scoring the game winner in the one that put us into the playoffs just screams Hart? Gotta think it helps some, no?
-
I gotta believe that a nine game scoring draught when your team is fighting for their playoff lives eliminated him from the conversation.
-
He should be a finalist imo. But winning it? Tough call.
-
Here’s one thing I know, he’s definitely not eliminated from the running, lol.
-
He deserves plenty of 2nd – 4th place votes. That scoring drought down the stretch took him out of the running for 1st place votes.

yes, yes it does. why do AJ and BSN have such shade colored glasses it saddens so many

Amazing! Off to the playoffs. Looks like AJ gets to officially change those offseason plans for real! Go Avs!
-
Bednar deserves significant credit for keeping the team focused, loose and with a positive mindset tonight, all the while dealing with the Humboldt tragedy that hit very close to home, literally.
Really proud of the entire org.-
I will echo those sentiments.

Aj – A+ for the great coverage during the regular season
-
Precisely
-
-
Does “S” stand for superstar??
-
Yeah, what does that mean?
-

When Girard scored the goal and I saw his emotional reaction I knew the Avs would win. His actions confirmed to me that the mindset and commitment to win, to work hard, elevate your game, go that extra mile, do whatever it takes – had returned! Not to mention Gabe embodying this commitment with a career game from him too.
-
Indeed, a great game. Perhaps even better though is knowing the superb coverage of the team (and its games) will continue at least a little bit longer.
-
The person who gave the grades (S) – made the playoffs.
The goal wasn’t controversial, the white that showed on the ice-level view was the glare on the ice.
