Man the Avs are so stacked with skill, MacKinnon, Rantanen, Landeskog, Makar, Burokowsky, Kadri and still a bunch of upcoming prospects including Byram.

Grubauer with a 14 save shutout. That’s about as easy as they come.

IMO, Altitude is the single worst broadcast in the NHL. Their homerism would makes Staples blush

Altitude is owned by Stanley Kroenke who also owns Colorado Avalanche. So in a way, Altitude is owned by the Avalanche so they are cheerleader of some sort. On the other hand, Staples are supposed to be a independent sport journalist. Unless, he is owned by Katz in turn owned by the Oilers.

I used to live with a die hard Avs fan, and even he can't stand them. I think a part of the issue is that they are critically underfunded, and anytime anyone with talent walks through the broadcast team, they go where they can get paid.
