News Article: Colorado Avalanche Media Coverage Part VI

Chickpea cheese-its...gross.

In Tampa we got sour patch kids and Doritos. That would be one hell of a culture shock if you were used to what Tampa got and then you came here to find chickpea cheese-its and granola.

Eh guys like MacKinnon, Kobe and MJ are just dicks really. We tolerate them because they win.

I mean maybe. My friends a great person, but just in game was highly competitive and driven to win. For all we know could be that Mack’s totally fine in day to day life.

There is a reason why 29 has just gotten better every year, he has dedicated his life to the game, getting better, and winning.

Yeah maybe he's a bit intense and probably rubs some teammates wrong, but if it leads to another Cup doubt they'll care.

 

[Pokecheque]

Please don't compare Nathan MacKinnon to Kobe Bryant. Ever.

MacKinnon sounds like Ron Hextall was. Hextall was a perfectly easy guy to get along with most of the time...until gameday.

Regardless, I don't really care if a guy's a jerk in real life, if he gets the job done, more power to him.

Yes, yes I am.

Don't worry, today is the day I also learned that it's "MasterTon"

Kinda of like how folks just couldn't stomach the Denver Post sports section when their coverage started being derailed by untreated mental health issues run amok in all of their Avalanche beat writers.

Well thank goodness Dater weighed in finally. I know we’ve all been on the edge of our seats wondering what his take would be on the Yotes finally going “Alright we’ve done all we can do, we’ve done all the planning, maybe just – f*** it, we’ll go in next year and finally think and just move this team”

Did Nuke just score a goal?

 

[Balthazar]

That's a pretty long thread but it's pretty sad for them. They were doing an impressive job on their podcast.

Just watched this last night on ESPN+. Was interesting seeing all of the maneuvering behind the scenes not only to keep Super Joe, but get the Pepsi Center built.
Spoiler alert: Dater is in a few clips.

I loved watching this. I was way too young to remember it but I always knew that Rangers were close to stealing Sakic from us but I've never heard the Harrison Ford and his movie helping or saving us until I saw the trailer of that documentary.

Hence the warning.

 

[Grackle Party]

Kiz comes off as the little goblin he actually is in that doc. Strange guy.

[BaconNater]

Maybe the last chapter will be about his journey back to Colorado and that's why the release is October? Jk I wish but that'll be a fun one

That Sakic series wasn't very good. Hardly any Sakic in it, and really nothing we didn't know other than the Harrison Ford demand of a no-date-change.

It felt very rushed, too.

This feels like a theme recently too. The Cup doc could have been much better too.

It's very dissapotinging to me, knowing how good these docs could be, if they put in the time and effort, and had people making them that know the Avs.

Agreed, it was pretty mid-tier. Judging it from a strictly filmmaking perspective it was not as good as the very Red Wings-centric "Unrivaled". The whole thing with Harrison Ford appearing at the end felt very awkward-- like they were so happy they got him to appear in it they thought it would be clever to make it seem like he didn't know why he was there or something.

Harrison Ford seemed like he had no f***ing idea where he was. Like he just smoked an absurd amount of reefer right before shooting.
