Inside the Avs' Locker Room: No explanations

OTTAWA, Ontario – Well, other than the play, Mrs. Lincoln…

Wow, was that a performance I wasn’t expecting from the Colorado Avalanche here in frozen Ottawa tonight. Avs just flat-out laid an egg against the last-place Senators. I went through all the reasons why in my story. This is your uncut audio from the locker room, including a couple minutes with Matt Duchene from the other dressing room.

I went over there to say hi to Dutchy and congratulate him on being a new father, and also for scoring two goals on his 28th birthday. As he said, “You couldn’t have written it any better.”
