However this turns out... whether he goes on to play for years, or never plays another NHL shift... I hope people appreciate just how incredible it is that he is doing *this* after the surgery he had and the entire ordeal he has been through. The persistence and progress are amazing. #GoAvsGo
No Erik Johnson at practice so the Avs only have 5 healthy D on the ice. Landeskog filling in.

The Avs did look flat, clearly looking ahead to the gigantic nationally televised game on Thursday night against Alexandar Georgiev. #GoAvsGo

A huge two points for an Avs team that didn’t play its best game tonight. And a well deserved first star for Scott Wedgewood, who was just spectacular from start to finish, especially considering how frequently he got run over. #GoAvsGo

Terrific and important win over the team they’re chasing. Depth scoring revived. Looking forward to the next showdown between MacKinnon and Jon McIsaac. #GoAvsGo

You know that Seinfeld episode where Jerry's absence from a social activity causes the rest of the group to flounder, unable to engage with each other to the point of total dysfunction? That's Val Nichushkin. #GoAvsGo

It’s always a funny time during international tournaments, when I get to spend a few weeks rooting against guys like MacKinnon, Makar, and Toews. #FourNations #GoAvsGo

The Avs are in a fascinating but nebulous position, going forward. Thoughts? Predictions? #GoAvsGo
Here's the NHL and NHLPA release on the salary cap for the next three seasons. "The projected Team Payroll Ranges for the 2026-27 and 2027-28 seasons will be subject to potential minor adjustments (up or down)."

I did something foolish. I went and listened to the recorded shows from today on The Fan. It's worse than I imagined. It's literally just show after show, host after host, characterizing Avs management as clueless and mean. It is entirely one-sided and ill-informed. I don't recommend. #GoAvsGo

The only unacceptable outcome was to let Mikko walk for nothing. They avoided that scenario, and they wisely did it early enough to get a very nice return with Necas coming back. This was about as well as they could do, given the situation. #GoAvsGo

I don’t understand this trade… for Chicago.

The battle between former Colorado Avalanche goaltenders Alexandar Georgiev and Justus Annunen seems to be going well tonight … San Jose was up 5-1 by the way … #GoAvsGo

Just call him Steady Mackenzie. My goodness, from the routine saves to the spectacular saves, he’s pretty much making all of them. That’s a fantastic win in a battle of interconference behemoths. Great job, boys! #GoAvsGo

If you watched one period of hockey all season, I hope it was that one. While obviously marred by the Wedgewood injury (fingers crossed for even decently good news), that entire third period and OT was electric, emotional, and ultimately exhilarating and successful. Screw you, Buffalo! #GoAvsGo

Isn’t it an amazing feeling to have a stud goaltender who makes all the necessary saves, bails you out when needed, and piles up game after game of two or fewer goals against? Huge division win tonight. The rest of the West better be ready. #GoAvsGo
