You can all exhale now. Coach Bednar says Cale Makar's injury isn't serious. He'll miss a few games with precautionary rest, and he'll be back in time to chase Lord Stanley.

Because of their travel schedule, Coach Bednar joined us a little early this morning. Last night, Bedsie said he thought his team played sloppy overall and that Wedgewood bailed them out time and time again. Wedgie was the best player on the ice for Colorado. Does he still feel that way this morning? How great is it to have guys re-entering the lineup? The line combos are starting to look more "normal" again, if you will.

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?

Also, Nathan MacKinnon made a comment after the Pittsburgh loss about how the lineups weren't working, and shouldn't look they way they did. 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.

Bedsie was fired up last night about MacKinnon's penalty and ejection. Has his mind changed at all after a good night's sleep? Let's also pick his brain about the game as a whole, and get an injury update on guys like Landy and LOC.

Quite the opposite. Bedsie loves how Gabe is playing right now.
We also got an injury update from Coach, and previewed Friday's MASSIVELY important clash with the Dallas Stars.

After a (much deserved) 3-week hiatus, Jared Bednar joined us again today! We asked him about the Sam Girard trade, the Olympic break, and the thrilling Gold Medal Match between USA and Canada that featured like half of his Avalanche roster (at least that's what it felt like).

The Avalanche have ONE last game before the NHL's Olympic Break. How's Avs Head Coach Jared Bednar feeling about his squad as they head into some much-needed time off?

Sam Malinski just inked a 4-year extension with the Avalanche. Head Coach Jared Bednar had nothing but good things to say about Malinski and his journey this morning when he joined us for his weekly appearance.

Has Jared Bednar finally learned what goaltender interference is? Has anyone given him an answer? Does the league even know? Let's see if Coach has done more research into one of life's many great mysteries.

(If Italy learns how to build a functioning hockey rink) The Olympic break is around the corner! Even though the Avalanche/Colorado Wagon is rolling right now, the roster isn't fully healthy! Coach Bednar is hoping to finish these last 10 or so games on a high note, stash some points, get some rest, then attack the back half of the season with a full roster. Fingers crossed.

Did the Avs catch the same plague that we all did? The team actually has an extended bit of rest before they host Nasvhille on Friday. How are they using the extra time off? Avalanche Head Coach Jared Bednar answered all our burning questions this morning.
