0:00 - The Avs won in LA last night and they now lead the series 3-0. Josh Manson left with an apparent injury, but aside from that, it was an awesome night all around. What can we expect in Game 4? LA knows the series is all but done. Are they gonna go down swinging and try to beat the heck out of the Avs? Especially since it could be Kopitar's last-ever game in a Kings sweater. 14:10 - In his postgame presser yesterday, our old friend Jaden McDaniels said just seeing the Nuggets motivates them...

0:00 - It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. We're all trying to work through the pain of last night's Nuggets loss together. We're shocked. Flabbergasted. Embarrassed. Dejected. Angry. All of that this morning. On the other hand, way to go Avs! They're one win away from sweeping the LA kings out of the playoffs. This series is all but done. It's all hands on deck. Every night, they're getting contributions from someone new. 13:38 - The LA Rams made an interesting pick in the firs...

0:00 - Last night was a mixed bag, to put it lightly. Let's start with the good. Way to go AVS! The Colorado Wagon ROLLED over the Kings last night, and they're up 3-0 in the series. This thing is over. Just take care of business, complete the sweep, then rest up for the next round. 16:04 - That was a pathetic effort from the Nuggets last night. Your opponent called you SOFT and NAMED NAMES! And you rolled over and died. You couldn't answer the bell. So much for "bulletin board material." That w...

0:00 - Our ESPN Broncos/NFL Insider Jeff Legwold has FINALLY published his list of the Top 100 Players in the NFL Draft! Hallelujah! In honor of the draft kicking off tonight, let's break down some of his rankings. And AGAIN, it's important to note - these aren't where he thinks the players will be drafted. This ranking is based purely on skill and talent (for example, Fernando Mendoza is #7 on Leggy's list, but he's obviously going to go #1 overall to the Raiders). 20:56 - It's a Playoff Double...

0:00 - Jaden McDaniels called out the Nuggets and their lack of defense. He named names! It's still hard to believe he did that. The Nuggets HAVE to answer the bell tonight. If they lose tonight, that's a wrap on the series. Prove your mental toughness. Take care of business. After that, the Rockies won last night! They're up to 10 wins already! Let's give Brett a couple minutes for some Rox positivity. 14:51 - Vic is having trouble focusing on the Avs vs Kings series. Because in his mind, it's ...

0:00 - Yesterday at shootaround, all the Nuggets were asked about Jaden McDaniels' fiery postgame comments about their defense (or the lack thereof). David Adelman had the only response that we liked. Everyone else was a bit too laissez faire for Brett's taste. The Nuggets should be fired up right now. It should be fuel. It should be bulletin board material. It should rally them to win. If it isn't...get ready for Cancun. 14:28 - The Colorado Wagon has rolled to a 2-0 series lead over the LA Kin...

0:00 - Long time no talk! Jared Bednar joined the show again this morning. How's Bedsie feeling after last night's win? Will he continue to roll with the red-hot Wedgewood in net, or will he start to rotate goalies? How did he pass the time during the 20-minute glass break delay? 19:17 - No Fly Zone alum and Champion of Super Bowl 50 T.J. Ward joined the show today! He's headed to Pittsburgh to announce the Broncos 2nd round draft pick on Friday. Does he have any Broncos/draft scoops like his fo...

0:00 - The LA Kings have played the Avs super physical in Games 1 and 2. They lay huge hits. They dust it up after the whistle. They throw dudes in front of the net and see what happens. And even though they're down 0-2, it's working! They're slowing down the high-flying Avs. Will other teams be able to copy that formula deeper into the playoffs? 13:11 - At any point last night, did your confidence in the Avs waver? Did you think the hockey gods/puck luck might bounce against you? Also, there's ...

0:00 - Remember Stefon from SNL? Bill Hader's Weekend Update character? Well, last night's Avs game had everything: fights, weird penalties, broken glass, crazy saves, bad officiating, you name it. Whatever you wanted, you got it. In the end, the Avs won Game 2 to take a 2-0 series lead over LA. That's all that matters. 15:31 - Boy, Scott Wedgewood is playing his BUTT off. He's a brick wall in net. Should Bednar still consider rotating goalies? Or ride the hot hand? Also, some rambunction Avs fa...

0:00 - Anytime the Nuggets are having success, they blow it. They have to be down 25 on the 2nd night of a road back-to-back with all of their starters hurt for them to play hard and seal a win. What will it take for this team to establish a lead AND HOLD ONTO IT?? 12:25 - Vic mentioned that he saw a man walking around Ball Arena in an impeccable suit on Sunday. That man in none other than Daryl Evans, LA Kings radio color commentator. He also scored one of the most iconic goals in LA Kings hist...

0:00 - Avs vs Kings Game 2 tonight! Should Coach Bednar roll with Scott Wedgewood in net again? Or should he switch it up and use Blackwood? 16:10 - The Nuggets had a 19-point lead last night. Like 6 minutes later, Minnesota had the lead. That's an unbelievable collapse. What happened?? Vic said is all comes down to defense, or the lack thereof. That's how games are won and lost for the Nuggets. It's not about outscoring your opponent. Quite the opposite. 33:36 - Oh, by the way...the Rockies had...

0:00 - The Nuggets had a double-digit lead over the Timberwolves. At home. In Ball Arena! And they blew it and lost Game 2. Boy, this is all too familiar. I feel like I've seen this movie before. What happened, man? How did it all unravel? 14:02 - After Minnesota's big win last night, Jaden McDaniels name checked a bunch of bad defenders on the Nuggets. By name! He specifically called the out and said they can't play defense. That's a WILD choice to make after Game 2 of a 7 game series, which is...

0:00 - On Saturday after the game, Scott Wedgewood said he'll trade goalie duties with Blackwood during the playoffs. How often will that happen? When SHOULD it happen? Wedgewood has been better, so should they ride with him the entire time? Or should they keep switching off since that got them through the regular season? 13:14 - Nuggets-Timberwolves Round 1, Game 2 TAHNIGHT. What are the keys to a Nuggets victory? 30:41 - We don't need the Nuggets to have a stellar start tonight. Can they have ...

0:00 - Scott Wedgewood looked solid as ever in Game 1 for the Avs. He was chatting with the TNT crew during the postgame show and said Blackwood will get some time in net too during the playoffs. Coach Bednar said the same thing on our show a couple weeks ago. The two-headed goalie monster is here to stay. After that, which way is east? Which way is south? Let's rehash a geographical debate from last week. 16:31 - We'd forgotten how much we dislike the Minnesota Timberwolves. All it took was 1 g...

0:00 - Boy, that was a PHYSICAL game between the Avs and Kings. LA brought the boom. That's how it goes in the playoffs. The physicality always ratchets up. The Avs survived, and held on for the Game 1 win. Is there any way LA wins this series? 14:50 - The Nuggets didn't play well for a full 48 minutes, but they sealed the deal for a Game 1 victory! After the game, Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch was crying aboul Jamal Murray's 16 free throws. Cool, Chris. Criticize a guy who's known for pla...

Where did Avalanche players pop up on the survey? 14:28 - The man, the myth, the legend Frank Caliendo himself joined us in studio this morning. He fired off more impressions in 20 minutes than most people attempt in a lifetime. We even convinced Moser to do his Bill Clinton for Frank! He was a fan. Go see Frank tonight and tomorrow (April 17 and 18) at Comedy Works South! Som...

Now let's preview the series by deciding which T-Wolves have the most punchable faces. 32:55 - Oh, by the way...Pablo Torre found out again. James Dolan is supposedly monitoring fans online who make negative posts about hi...

0:00 - Finally! 82 games in the books for every NHL team. That means the Avs FINALLY have a first round opponent! They'll face the LA Kings. That was Moser's first choice for an ideal matchup. LFG. Lock n load, boys. (and by the way podcast listeners, the "exciting" song for Avs was "Around the World" by Daft Punk. The slower song for the Kings was "Only Time" by Enya.) 13:30 - Let's get granular with Nuggets vs Timberwolves. Let's break down each roster player by player, matchup by matchup and ...

0:00 - Tonight's Avalanche vs Kraken game is pretty meaningless. Neither team can change their fate. And even still, although he won't admit it, Moser is going to call the game like everything is on the line tonight! Somehow, this segment devolved into a full-blown roast of Marc Moser and Conor McGahey...and we forgot about Leggy. 15:10 - Whoops! NOW let's get to Jeff Legwold. Does Jeff have any idea what Aqib Talib was talking about? Will the Broncos make another splashy trade on draft night? W...

Get in Ant's head. Rattle him. He's the head of the snake. 11:08 - The Denver Nuggets CANNOT lost to the Minnesota Timberwolves in Round 1. It simply cannot happen. If it does, the Nuggets will have to take a good long look in the mirror as an organization and figure out what happens next. Some serious c...

And who owns the rights to the Clippers 2026 first round pick? THE OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER. Incredible. You can bring up Russell Wilson, DeShaun Watson, Herschel Walker, whatever. Doesn't matter. The OKC-Clippers SGA trade is now officially the WORST trade in all of sports history. Not NBA history. SPORTS history! Also, Tyson Barrie chilled in...

All on the 2nd night of a back to back on the road! Good work, boys. 13:20 - The Nuggets will have rested for 10 straight days before they play game 1. That's awesome! Rest vs Rust be damned. This team needs to heal all their scrapes and bruises. What's the ideal playoff rotation, assuming everyone is healthy and ready to go? 31:...

Erik Johnson tapped in for an injured Bedsie and had a nice one-on-one chat with Kaner this morning. 14:54 - Today's show is turning into an all-day appetizer how. A texter asked us - can you eat appetizers all day? Brett is team All Appertizers. Next, what will the Nuggets rotation look like in the playoffs? Teams usually shorten their rotation significantly in the postseason, but that might not work for the Nuggets. 31:00 - O...

Great night all around. The Avalanche are back at Ball tomorrow night to wrap it all up! Moser got back from Calgary super late last night. So we're gonna let him catch a few extra winks of sleep. He'll join us later...hopefully... 14:51 - Almost all of the national media is picking the Nuggets to bea...

0:00 - The NBA implemented the 65-game rule to try and force players to be available. To curb so-called "load management." But here's the thing...Bruce Brown appeared in all 82 games this year! He's the only Nugget who played in every single regular season game. And yet, he's not eligible for any postseason awards because he didn't average enough minutes per game. That's wild. The rule needs to be tweaked somehow. 15:30 - The Avalanche are in Calgary tonight on the 2nd night of a back to back! W...

Does he mean the Broncos would try to trade up and draft someone? Or package some picks for a draft night trade? 14:04 - The Pacific Division is a wonderful dumpster fire! All the playoff teams are set, BUT playoff SEEDING is still up in the air. The Avalanche could face any of 4 different teams in Round 1 with 2 games remaining in the regular season. That's craz...

There's a reason their goalie angrily smashed his stick after Nathan MacKinnon buried the shootout winner. 14:28 - Over the weekend, the DU Pioneers won their 11th national championship! That's 2 more than any other D1 men's hockey program. For Head Coach David Carle, it's his 3rd title in 5 years. How has...

0:00 - Think about how crazy this Nuggets season was. They suffered a ton of injuries to key players, had different lineups every single night, and still won 54 games with a (sort-of) first year head coach. AND they set the franchise record for road wins. Insanity. 14:36 - Sorry for the lack of music, as always. For context: Vic did one of his live reads for Flatirons Fire, and said they sell grills. Not the kind for your teeth, though. So we had to bump back with Grillz by Nelly and Paul Wall. ...

Yesterday, they were playing a Spurs team that actually wanted/needed to win! Sure, Wemby wasn't playing, but the rest of the roster is stacked too! And the Nuggets B Team answered the bell. That's a great sign. 14:54 - Rory McIlroy won his second straight Masters. He became the 4th golfer ever to go back-to-back at Augusta. But, he also said he's...

Go back to, say...March 1. Could you picture the Nuggets rattling off 12 wins and climbing to the 3 seed? Not at all. What a wild turn of events. 15:31 - The Avs lost to Vegas on Saturday and...we don't really care. We felt nothing watching that game. Everyone stay healthy and let's get to the playoffs. Th...
