News Article: Colorado Avalanche Media Coverage Part VI

These options for following the Avs are mostly just awful. It's like let's find some loudmouths that don't have a role in covering the sports they really care about and have them cover hockey and the Avs. Yeah let's do that hockey!

I'll wait for the first tough question.
They've probably practiced the interview half a dozen times already.

If we’re being realistic, CMac isn’t going to face any real serious questions, imo. The door is being opened to DNVR, I would bet quite a bit they want to leave an impression that makes it easier for him (or anyone else in the FO) to come back again.

Just got done watching ESPN's 2022 Stanley Cup Champion Film.
What still amazes me about that team is just how many players had big moments. It goes beyond the offensive stars and Cale doing things that would make Bobby Orr blush. Manson...huge goal. Frankie sweeping the Oilers. Helm with the buzzer beater. Cogs shorthanded goal. Lehky sending us to the finals and having 4 game winning goals in the playoffs. Burakovsky with a game winner. Naz coming back from injury and dad-dicking the Avs to a win.
It was an absolute complete team effort for four rounds. Just everybody executing mostly flawless hockey. That team had a definite air of destiny. What a fun season. Hearing Pete getting choked up at points during the celebration got to me.
I'm ready so ready for hockey to start again.

True, Only Game 5 against the blues still sucks a little bit, The one when Mac went crazy and scored one of the best playoff-goals ever.....

As much as I wanted that to end the series, ripping the hearts out of Blues fans with 6 seconds to go from f***ing Darren Helm of all players felt sweeter.

This is actually really good news. Sharks fans are still pissed off that he's no longer covering the team on the Athletic. He helped build a nice little community there. I think given time you guys are really going to like his stuff.
Looks like the Fan fired Dmac. He'd be a huge get for any of the new stations/pod casts to get that want Broncos coverage. Or even Altitude. He was also really good covering not just the Avs, but also the opposing teams during our cup run.
He’ll probably go work for the Patriots or the Yankees. He would fit in great there
I hope not. There's not a lot of people in Denver sports media that will actually ask tough questions.

That's pretty cool. They have the template and they know what to do.
Considering how big the NBA is compared to the NHL and how Capfriendly is popular both for fans and for teams, I predict a lot of success.
Good stuff but the NBA cap and tax is infinitely more difficult to decipher than the relatively simple NHL AAV system. Will need a lot of what ifs and explainers for readers to understand.
