Hour 1 of The Drive kicks off with Zach and Phil cross talking with Dover. The guys react to the massive trade the Avalanche made earlier today. We compare the contrast the positions the Nuggets and Avalanche are in. Would the Nuggets be willing to make a splashy trade like the Avs? Do the Nuggets problems go beyond their roster construction? Zach asks if the Nuggets have hit rock bottom after their embarrassing loss to the Wizards over the weekend. Colorado has officially been announced to the Alamo Bowl, are the guys happy with the Buffs selection? Coach Prime came out and said the seniors and pro-bound Buffs will play in the bowl, is there a way this backfires on the Buffs? Will Petersen of DenverSports.com joins the show to breakdown the seismic trade for the Avalanche today. Is the new Avs goaltender ready to be the starting goalie on a playoff team? Was this trade about more than just Georgiev’s on ice performance?
