ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — The Broncos were back on the practice field on Thursday, but the big story in Denver is the NBA Finals starting Thursday night. Broncos head coach Sean Payton said he’s meeting up with some friends who also played quarterback at Eastern Illinois—Tony Romo?—to go to Game 1. “We get together once a year,” Payton. “It’s gonna be…

We’re back with another edition of the Avalanche Roundtable. Rudo is on vacation this week so it’ll just be the remaining three of us to talk about big-time player acquisitions. We saw landscape-altering deals last year with the trades of Matthew Tkachuk and free agent signing of Johnny Gaudreau. Who is the best player that gets traded this summer? AJ:…

For this week’s roundtable, we’re going to examine some of the latest changes from front office departures to head coaching vacancies. There have already been several, so expect some of these changes to be a reoccurring topic for discussion especially as new departures mean new options for the coaching carousel. Brendan Shanahan’s decision not to retain Kyle Dubas has invited…

Beginning this week, we’re going to be using Monday as a vehicle for both a written roundtable and then using it as the jumping-off point for the podcast. Today we’re going to start with a look at Colorado’s free-agent priorities. Let’s see how the gang feels about it. Let’s start in-house. Which Avalanche pending UFA would you prioritize re-signing? AJ:…

Studs Nathan MacKinnon You can’t say this guy didn’t do everything in his power to make it happen. They ended up taking the first goal away and giving it to Rantanen and then followed it up by taking his second goal away entirely due to offside. The guy left it all out on the ice. He was incredible from start…

Meghan and I both felt this situation was significant enough that we both had something to say about it, so look out for her take on this whole situation down below. I try really hard to not be someone that blames officiating, or…...

Studs Colorado’s top line Nathan MacKinnon rather remarkably recorded zero points tonight but was an incredibly important driving factor in multiple goals. Mikko Rantanen scored a goal and recorded an assist. Artturi Lehkonen was the third guy on the line most of the night and scored two goals. Evan Rodrigues was a part-time participant on the top line and snuck…

Studs Nathan MacKinnon I know, people will immediately point to him yelling at the refs after what looked like an apparent missed tripping call. Him being a little behind the play because of that, led to a late line change, which led to a man being open in the slot and a goal against.  He’s gotta be better there, I…

Studs Alexandar Georgiev I’ll start this by saying I really don’t like the first goal by Will Borgen. It’s yet another shot from distance that beats Georgiev cleanly. I don’t think Georgiev plays it very well and makes himself really small as the shot is getting released. I don’t like it. I’ve also always said that I can dislike the…
