The Avalanche got SHELLACKED by Pittsburgh on Monday night, and they have a massive game against Dallas tonight. For all the marbles in the Western Conference (essentially). How is Head Coach Jared Bednar feeling ahead of the game? Is his battered, beat up, bruised squad ready?

Everyone's been making a big deal out of it on social media. MacKinnon called out his coach! Here's the thing...Coach told us today that MacKinnon's comments weren't out of line at all. In fact, Bedsie agrees with him.
