Sherri West+FollowSakic Speaks Out: Why Moose Had to GoAvs Nation, the Moose trade finally got the full Sakic treatment. Joe Sakic laid it all out—keeping Mikko, MacK, and Makar together just wasn’t doable with the cap crunch. He said paying three superstars left the Avs too thin, and that’s why the blockbuster deal happened. Sure, Rantanen’s lighting it up in Dallas, but Sakic’s betting on depth over star power. Did the Avs make the right call, or will this haunt us for years? #GoAvsGo #NHL #Rantanen #Sakic #StanleyCup #Sports00Share
Jason Dawson+FollowBednar Stays: Avs Double Down After Stars LossAfter another heartbreaking playoff exit to the Stars, Avs Nation was buzzing about Coach Bednar’s future. Despite blowing a 2–0 lead in Game 7, GM MacFarland just gave Bednar a full vote of confidence, saying he’s still the guy behind the bench. The only shakeup? Assistant coach Ray Bennett is out. With Captain Landy finally back and the roster stacked, can Bednar lead the Avs past their playoff demons next year? Let’s hear your takes! #GoAvsGo #NHL #Bednar #Avalanche #StarsVsAvs #Sports00Share
Bryce Clark+FollowAvs’ Offseason Shakeup: Who’s Out?Tough end for the Avs as they fall to the Stars in seven, and now the big question is: who’s staying and who’s packing their bags? With Brock Nelson’s future up in the air and veterans like Erik Johnson possibly calling it a career, Colorado could look very different next season. The front office hasn’t been shy about making bold moves (just ask Rantanen), so don’t be surprised if we see some fan favorites in new sweaters. Who do you think is most likely to leave? #GoAvsGo #NHLPlayoffs #HockeyTalk #Avalanche #OffseasonMoves #Sports40Share
Molly Tucker+FollowMacKinnon Left Stunned After Avs CollapseWow, what a brutal way for the Avs’ season to end. MacKinnon was on fire, scoring early in the third, but then it all unraveled. Rantanen—who the front office traded away—torched us with a hat trick for Dallas. You could see the shock on Nate’s face postgame. Hard not to wonder if keeping the Moose would’ve changed everything. That trade is going to haunt MacFarland for a long time. Thoughts on how the core moves forward from here? #GoAvsGo #NHLPlayoffs #MacKinnon #Rantanen #HockeyTalk #Sports60Share
Bryce Clark+FollowCan the Avs Keep Rolling or Will Stars Bounce Back?Game 5 is shaping up to be a classic in this Avs-Stars rivalry! After Captain Landy’s emotional comeback and Blackwood’s first playoff shutout, the Avs have all the momentum. But with Miro possibly returning and the Stars desperate to avoid a 3-2 hole, Dallas fans are hoping Robo and Oettinger can flip the script at home. Who do you trust more in crunch time: MacKinnon’s fire or the Stars’ home ice magic? #StanleyCupPlayoffs #GoAvsGo #TexasHockey #NHL #HockeyTalk #Sports80Share
Martha Garza+FollowLandy’s Comeback Ignites Avs’ BenchDid you catch Landy’s first goal in almost three years? The Captain snapped one past Oettinger and Ball Arena absolutely erupted! The way Nate MacKinnon and the rest of the Avs mobbed him at the bench was pure emotion—shows how much this team loves their leader. After battling a brutal knee injury, Landeskog’s return is more than just a feel-good story; it’s a playoff rallying point. With the series tied, could this be the spark the Avs need to take down the Stars? #GoAvsGo #StanleyCupPlayoffs #Landeskog #NHL #Sports20Share
Christopher Li+FollowBlackwood Shuts Down Stars in Game 1Wow, what a difference a year makes for the Avs! Coach DeBoer called out Mackenzie Blackwood as the real game-changer, and you could see why last night. The Stars just couldn’t solve him—23 saves and only a power play deflection got by. Dallas fans, are you worried about the losing streak now that Colorado’s got a legit netminder? The Avs didn’t have this kind of brick wall last playoffs. Can the Stars bounce back, or is Blackwood the X-factor? #GoStars #GoAvsGo #NHLPlayoffs #Blackwood #HockeyTalk #Sports70Share
