0:00 - Ding dong, the Flop is dead! The Spurs beat the Thunder in 7, and they're heading back to the NBA Finals. Watching the WCF got Brett thinking...could the Nuggets beat either of these teams in a 7 game series when fully healthy? If the answer is no, then what should the team do in the offseason?14:58 - Well that came out of nowhere! Some HUGE blockbuster trades went down around the NFL yesterday & over the weekend. One of them poses a direct threat to the Broncos. But the trade still might go up in flames.32:22 - We still haven't heard anything about and end of the season presser for the Avs. It's probably because of the Champions League & Arsenal parade and the memorial service for Claude Lemieux. The organization is busy. Does the delaying of the presser bode well for Bednar? Is his job looking more secure?Also, Tim Bontemps said that Christian Braun or Cam Johnson will most likely be traded in the offseason to re-sign Peyton Watson. Is that doable? Is that a viable trade?

0:00 - The Avs and the Nuggets are in different situations roster-wise. The Nuggets might know what they need to do, but don't have the cap room to do it. Meanwhile, the Avalanche don't know WHAT to do, and maybe they don't need to do anything! Which scenario is worse?14:59 - The more Brett thinks about it, the Avs vs Golden Knights WCF series was a fluke. If they play that series 100 times, the Knights would sweep the Avs once. Unfortunately, that's the reality that we live in.31:06 - The NBA officially agreed on a shiny new anti-tanking solution. And here's the thing...it STILL doesn't solve the problem! I feel like I'm tanking crazy pills here!

0:00 - Today's mostly going to be an Avalanche Autopsy day. We've had another day to process this crushing defeat a bit more. As we look at the future and the long offseason, what changes do we need to see?14:31 - All things considered, would you rather be the Avalanche or the Nuggets right now?31:36 - OTAs are underway for most NFL teams and shocker...Patrick Mahomes is on the field practicing for the Chiefs! He tore his ACL about 5 months ago. That's a quick recovery! But this shouldn't come as a shock to anyone. We knew he was going to be back when the NFL announced Broncos @ Chiefs on Monday Night Football Week 1. They showed their hand.

0:00 - That's all, folks. The Colorado Wagon rolled to a complete stop last night. Vegas completed the sweep of the Avalanche and ended their quest for Lord Stanley. We're stunned. Speechless. How do we begin to dissect this stupefying series?16:05 - Ultimately, this series came down to specific plays. Individual moments. And in every critical moment, the Avalanche didn't capitalize. The Golden Knights did. That's the closest we'll get to an official diagnosis of the Avs exit.32:43 - We've experienced 3 heartbreaking playoff exits in a row. Which one was the most devistating? Bo Nix breaking his ankle, then the Broncos losing the AFC Championship in a snowglobe? The Nuggets getting punked and bullied by the Timberwolves en route to a first round exit? Or the Avalanche getting swept in the conference finals by the Golden Knights?

0:00 - What do you expect to see from the Avalanche tonight in Game 4? What do you want/need to see from the Avs to sleep easy tonight?15:21 - For everyone who wants Bednar fired, what do you want him to do differently? WHY do you want him fired? Brett is sick of people hammering the "Fire Bednar" button. Give a specific reason why you want him out. 31:21 - Tonight, we're gonna party like it's 1999! The Knicks FINALLY made it back to the NBA Finals for the first time in 27 years. They're not just winning playoff games. They're DEMOLISHING their opponents. This is a reign of terror on the Eastern Conference.

0:00 - For people who speak into a microphone for a living, we were rendered speechless last night. That was such a monumental and meteoric collapse by the Avalanche to all but doom their season. Unbelievable. We know they're only down 0-3 and the season isn't over yet, but man it feels like it's over today. What the heck happened to this team??16:19 - After Game 2, Coach Bednar said it's Cale's decision when he wants to return to play. He doubled down on it Saturday morning. What do we make of that?33:39 - So what happens next for the Avalanche? This is a weird spot to be in. Chris MacFarland made wholesale changes to the roster for multiple years! He pushed ALL his chips into the middle of the table and went for it. And somehow, it hasn't worked. Against all odds, it hasn't worked. Multiple years in a row. So something needs to change. What's that something?

0:00 - Brett's not panicking about the Avs. You heard him say it all day yesterday. But you know who else isn't panicked? The team! If you listen to everything Bedsie and the players said postgame after the Game 1 loss, they sounded calm. They didn't sound dejected or worried.14:22 - Avs need to rattle Carter Hart. He's playing LIGHT OUT so far. The Avalanche need to put shots on net ASAFP. Pepper the net, get in his head. 31:20 - A texter asked us, "how can you say the Avs have looked good this playoffs?" then explained his reasoning. Brett disagrees. The opposite is true.

0:00 - The Avs lost to Vegas last night in Game 1 of the Western Conference Final. Oh boy. Here we go again. But Brett's not panicking this morning. The Avalanche played a solid game last night, but couldn't execute in key moments. It was a razor thin margin. The final score doesn't do justice how close the game actually was.Do you agree with Brett? Or are you hitting the panic button today?14:40 - Nathan MacKinnon said it himself postgame - lack of execution doomed the Avs. Bednar also said he likes the way they played, but they need to tighten everything up. The devil's in the details. There's still lots of belief in that locker room that they can respond in Game 2. 32:00 - Why did the Avs look sluggish? Why was some of the execution lacking? A lot of it can be boiled down to the absence of one man: Cale Douglas Makar.

0:00 - It's finally here. The Colorado Hockey Avalanche will play a hockey game tonight. How are we feeling, Avalanche Territory?14:55 - Brett Kulak joined PHD yesterday and they asked him what surprised him about this Avs team after he was traded. This is a guy who just played in 2 consecutive Cup Finals with Edmonton. Think he knows what it takes to make a deep run?Also, Nathan MacKinnon said Brent Burns is basically a bear because he sleeps all day. 32:38 - Are you nervous about Avs vs Golden Knights Game 1? Do you still have residual trauma from 2021?Speaking of trauma, the Cleveland Cavaliers choked away a MASSIVE lead over the Knicks in the 4Q of the Eastern Conference Final Game 1 yesterday. Serious, that was a legendary all-time choke job. Hard to believe.

0:00 - Best two words in sports: Game 7. Buffalo vs Montreal was, as the Scorsese meme goes, Absolute Cinema. Shoutout former Av Alex Newhook for the OT game winner! He's scored 2 Game 7 game-winning goals in the same playoff series. Speaking of absolute cinema, how about Wemby carving up the Thunder on the road in Game 1 of the WCF? Wemby has been just as good as advertised, if not better. He's only 22 years old. Strap in, y'all. He's gonna be a problem for a LONG time.14:51 - Just how bad is Cale Makar's injury? It definitely looks like a shoulder, but it's not officially confirmed yet. Can you afford to sit him if he's not ready? Should he push through no matter what?After that, people are saying that Nathan MacKinnon is on some sort of revenge tour right now because of the Olympics loss. His silver medal and that stoat plushie are fueling him on a reign of terror through the NHL. Brett says that narrative is false. MacKinnon is motivated because he's MacKinnon. If he won a gold medal with Canada, you're saying he'd be less motivated to win Lord Stanley again?32:18 - The Nuggets are probably going to let Valanciunas go. They STILL need a backup center. Or...do they? If they keep going through backup center candidates year after year and can't find a viable option, maybe that's because they don't need one. Their Jokic-based system doesn't require one.
