Is Blackwood Primed for Career Year? Avalanche Power Play on a Short Leash | The Rink Report Ep 1

Welcome to the inaugural episode of The Rink Report with Jesse Montano and Meghan Angley, now coming to you from 92.5 Altitude Sports Radio! A new show, a new home and a new name — but the same in-depth Colorado Avalanche hockey coverage, analysis and conversations you've come to expect from Jesse and Meghan. In Episode 1, the focus is squarely on the Colorado Avalanche's opening week of the NHL season, including: 🏒 The Avalanche's strong start — 14 goals through two games and an impressive showing from the team's depth. 🥅 Mackenzie Blackwood's return to form — why his offseason, health and opportunity to find a rhythm could make a major difference for the Avs this season. ⚡ The Avalanche power play — what's working, what's not, and why the second power-play unit could be the key to pushing the top unit to another level. 🎙️ Jared Bednar on the power play — the Avalanche head coach provides insight into movement, execution, chemistry and why having five talented players on the ice isn't enough by itself. 🔄 Power-play personnel and deployment — including Nathan MacKinnon, Gabriel Landeskog, Nazem Kadri, Brock Nelson, Jaden Schwartz and TJ Hughes. 📈 Can the Avs become less predictable? Jesse and Megan break down why puck movement, movement without the puck and increased usage of the second unit could give Colorado another dimension. The Rink Report is your home for Colorado Avalanche news, analysis, interviews and hockey conversation throughout the NHL season. Thanks for joining us for Episode 1 — we're just getting started!
