Jared Bednar snubbed again? Team Canada's Olympic coaching staff announcement raises eyebrows as the Colorado Avalanche head coach misses out.
On today's episode of Locked on Avalanche, I break down the surprising decision, exploring potential reasons behind Bednar's exclusion and its implications for the Avalanche.
The discussion shifts to the team's current standing in the NHL, analyzing The Athletic's recent poll and what it means for Colorado's championship aspirations.
We then tackle a thought-provoking debate: Who belongs on the Avalanche's Mount Rushmore? Nathan MacKinnon and Cale Makar's potential inclusion sparks an intriguing conversation about the franchise's storied history and future legacy.
Tune in for a passionate exploration of Avalanche past, present, and future, as we dissect the team's place in hockey's hierarchy.
