There is now no doubt Jared Bednar is the best coach in franchise history. With goals from Artturi Lehkonen, Andrew Cogliano, and Alex Newhook Colorado was able to defeat Alex Ovechkin and the Capitals. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rtlt-HCVbkU
Wins are starting to look routine, getting the usual scoring from players like Mikko Rantanen and Val Nichushkin in your top six is a solid base. Add in-depth scoring from Andrew Cogliano and Brad Hunt and you’ve got something cooking. Back it up with a rock-solid goalie performance from Alexandar Georgiev and that’s a W. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgCMJ_OjKk8
The Avs kicked off their regular season in excellent fashion with a dominant win over an admittedly bad Blackhawks team. With the top line and PP units doing the heavy lifting the Avs got to manage their legs on the front half of a back-to-back. https://youtu.be/afD3L89ZeV4
The Avs opening day roster is officially set and the bottom six is starting to take shape with the only true rookie looking to be Ben Meyers. Can he succeed in the NHL alongside veterans like Cogliano, Compher, and more? https://youtu.be/WAX0IP2A-OI
The dream is within reach as Nazem Kadri lifts the Avs to a 3 – 1 series lead with an OT goal for the ages. Colorado gutted out a crucial win and now only needs to do what they’ve done best this year. Close. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSXqWY0VBYU
Everyone was expecting superstar power in this series and Game 1 was chock-full. The Avs ultimately got scoring from everywhere in the lineup to take down a win in a 14-goal game where defense and goaltending were more suggestions than anything else. https://youtu.be/qAEOddwn62s
