Put me on the record...I like the pick and I think Bo Nix succeeds with the Broncos. Excited to see it all unfold!

[Mile High Mettle @milehighmettle]

First round exit with the Vezina, Hart, and Jack Adams trophy winners. Crazy...

[Nicky Molitoris @MolitorisNick]

Tampa is gonna walk away with a vezina, jack adams, and Hart, and I think all three are kinda shocking and not correct. Weird year.

[Mile High Mettle @milehighmettle]

Either he has regressed since the Avs series or the Hurricanes are just that good.

Carter Hart’s save percentage by game in the Stanley Cup Finals:

.862
.846
.879
.852
.833

[Mile High Mettle @milehighmettle]

Agreed on all...Bednar needs to do some soul searching to figure out how to compete against the trap defense. Getting swept is inexcusable. We also need a new special teams coach...PP was a total liability this year.

[T @TimContic]

@michaelkvance in terms of head coach?

probably nobody available that was a clear cut upgrade - i would have been very interested in Cassidy and if David Carle was ready to jump to the league but since neither was attainable rn Bednar it is.. gotta hope he makes some philosophical changes

[Mile High Mettle @milehighmettle]

@notthatterrible @runwriteAarif I think the first sentence was the response for when he was asked that question.

"A change of scenery might do both McDavid and MacKinnon good."

This guy doesn't have a clue about hockey.

[Hoops @Hoopss]

Which trophy is the hardest for a team to win?

[Mile High Mettle @milehighmettle]

@ProducerDrew_

If your hypothesis is correct, Canes will win the Stanley Cup this year. Thoughts?

@ESPNInsights Jokic robbed both times

[Mile High Mettle @milehighmettle]

Still thinking about this series. Vegas had two forwards in our defensive zone forechecking, their center in the neutral zone, and their D men back. It was a muddy mess and the Avs couldn't break through. This has been Bednar's weakness in all playoff losses. When is it fixed?

[AltitudeTV @AltitudeTV]

The guys share their initial thoughts on the series loss 🗣️

[Mile High Mettle @milehighmettle]

@rockiesghost @citchmook I agree regarding soft goals at crucial times...but Vegas dominated almost every period. Their forecheck kept the Avs from making clean transitions, they blocked so many shots, had huge chunks of time that the Avs couldn't even get a shot on goal. Vegas was the better team.

[Mile High Mettle @milehighmettle]

@citchmook I think if you put Wedgewood behind Vegas' team, the series would have had a similar outcome. The whole team wasn't good enough. Vegas' defense was suffocating, only way we could get into their zone was dump and chase and it never produced sustained O zone time.

[Mile High Mettle @milehighmettle]

@citchmook So no? There are a lot more dynamics to why we lost than goaltending. I think it was much more about the teams in front of the goalies. Wedge let in a couple soft goals that he would like back, but the team was beat in all three zones. Couldn't get clean looks or finish.

[Mile High Mettle @milehighmettle]

Both Nuggets and Avs had #1 scoring offense, but got beat in the playoffs by teams with great defense. Defense rules the day.

[Mile High Mettle @milehighmettle]

Just gutted man...Broncos, Nuggets, Avs...all brutal endings this year.

It's one thing when you know a team is not good or will not be good (Rockies), it's another when you have high expectations and they don't pan out.

Oh well, sun rises again tomorrow morning.

[D-Line (Denver Man) @DLineCo]

Hey, Colorado sport fan. If I told you the Avs would easily win the Presidents trophy, make it to the WCF, the Nuggets would get the best season ever from Jamal Murray and and another MVP level season from Jokic, AND the Broncos would have the best record the NFL and make the AFC championship, you would take it right? WELL FUCK YOU ITS A TRICK.

[Mile High Mettle @milehighmettle]

Absolutely gutted...would have never guessed in a million years we would get swept in the WCF by a team that has more losses than wins this year.

Total heartbreak and sick. Not sure what else to say about this Avs team...kind of numb. Ride with em till the end.

#GoAvsGo

[Mile High Mettle @milehighmettle]

Avs in 9.

#GoAvsGo

[Mile High Mettle @milehighmettle]

Absolutely gutted right now.

Bo Nix surprise injury
AG injury & Nuggets flameout
Makar injury & Avs flameout

Really felt like all 3 teams had a chance to go further. Not my favorite year of Denver sports! 😭😭
