We just witnessed one of the greatest basketball games EVER played and may be witnessing the greatest NBA Finals of all time! I legitimately feel lucky to have had this human experience.

Crazy that we went from Avs “Cup or bust” to the Avs losing in spectacular fashion again & we want to extend coach. Obv a collective failure, but big player trades, goalie changes, fired ST coach, all been done. I’ve defended Bednar. Denver legend. But…

The 2026 Spurs. The most ahead of schedule team in NBA history. San Antonio won 34 games last year. Now they’re in the NBA Finals?! The history of the NBA is about the climb. Jordan, Shaq/Kobe, LeBron, etc all had to fail first….but not these Spurs.

I view the Avs in some ways to the 1990’s Atlanta Braves. The best roster on paper for years…among favorites to win World Series for a decade…break through for one title…fall short the rest of the window. Won a title? Yes. Should it have been a dynasty? Also, yes.

A central difference in this analogy is that the Braves had so much more postseason success and fell shorter closer to the finish line. Probably made it more painful, but makes Avs a poor man’s Braves.

The Colorado Avalanche had a 2-0 series lead vs Vegas in 2021. Since then they have lost 8 consecutive postseason games to the Golden Knights.

The Colorado Avalanche, the Stanley Cup favorite this time last week, have been swept in a series in which they were favored in every single game.

The Avs are dialed in!! It’s 8 min into the first period and all things feel possible again.

Hard not to have a haunting feeling about the Colorado Avalanche right now.

Where are you on the concern-o-meter as the Avalanche head into game 2 of the WCF without Cale Makar, down 0-1…
29% 1-3 not concerned at all
50% 4-6 I’m concerned
16% 7-9 I’m freaking out
5% 10 Avs are cooked

Reflecting on a family hall of fame day! My first dedicated daddy-daughter w/ my 4 year old Mia. Beyond special. Too many words to describe. But the fact that her first response when we got on the big screen was to kiss me, it fills my heart!!

MANIFESTED IT
Replying to @byesline
There was a game in March vs Dallas where Blackwood gave up 4 goals on 11 shots and got pulled. Wedgie came in and the Avs came back and won in OT. It’s unlikely at this point but you have to give yourself a shot in the arm here and hope for that same result.

What has or hasn’t happened to Cale Makar extends WAY beyond a game 5 in the 2nd round. Was clearly favoring the arm/shoulder earlier and now a nothing-to-see-here bump has him wincing and exiting the game. Not. Good.
