🏒 NEW: You know what? When it comes to getting the Colorado #Avalanche back to lifting another #StanleyCup, trading Cale Makar isn't a bad idea. 🏆 It's an absolutely terrible one.

Keeler: Avalanche should listen to any trade offer — unless it’s for Cale Makar

An Avalanche defense without Cale Makar is unthinkable. An Avs offense without No. 8 would be unwatchable.

🏒 NEW: Vegas fired its coach to light a fire under its players. The #Avalanche keep doing the same thing every May and expecting a different result. Guess which one is insanity? @DenverPost column: 👇

Keeler: Avalanche playoff collapse shows Colorado is too comfortable under Joe Sakic, Jared Bednar

Stan Kroenke and Josh Kroenke are hoops, football and soccer guys first. They treat the Avalanche like a burgundy-headed stepchild. They love that their little hockey team, at least compared to the Nuggets, is a no-drama llama. Only the Avs…

🤕 Bo Nix's ankle. Aaron Gordon's calf. Now Nathan MacKinnon's knee? Come on! 🩹 Why do Denver sports feel cursed in 2026? Isn't having to watch the #Rockies for 7 months penance enough? @DenverPost column: 👇

Keeler: Bo Nix’s ankle. Nathan MacKinnon’s knee. Are Denver sports cursed?

Bo Nix’s ankle. Aaron Gordon’s calf. Nathan MacKinnon’s knee. Every time a Front Range team has looked about ready to lift a championship trophy, a key player suddenly couldn’t lift one of their arms.

🏒 NEW: Without Cale Makar, the #Avalanche power play vs. the Vegas Golden Knights looked an awful lot like a Sean Payton script: Pass, pass, pass, punt. @DenverPost column: 👇

Keeler: Avalanche power play vs. Vegas looks like Sean Payton script: Pass, pass, pass, punt

The Avalanche on the power play were already a hard watch with a healthy Cale Makar along the blue line. Without him, the Avs’ power play reads like a Sean Payton script: Pass, pass, pass, pass, pass, pass, pass, pass, punt.

🏒 NEW: Too little, too Nate! With #Avalanche stars such as Nathan MacKinnon stuck in neutral for most of Game 1 against Vegas, #GoAvsGo showed just how badly they missed Cale Makar on the blue line. @DenverPost column: 🔽

Keeler: Too little, too Nate! Avalanche struggles without Cale Makar in Game 1 loss to Golden Kights

The Golden Knights had better juice, better goaltending, better special teams and a better plan. They also better utilized the dark arts of playoff hockey, winking their way into some friendly calls.

Keeler: Avalanche betting on Cale Makar against Vegas. Will it pay off?

Bad Shoulder? Bum hip? Both? Neither? Avalanche star Cale Makar may be part cyborg, but even the tightest machines can’t hide a busted axle. Every round for No. 8 right now feels like a roll of the dice.

Keeler: Avalanche say Nathan MacKinnon isn’t on Winter Olympics revenge tour. He’s sure playing like it.

Nathan MacKinnon is an open burn book. Sit with him? Dude, you can’t even skate with him.

Move over, Wendy Koenig. Make some room, Melody Fairchild. The Kaltenbachs? Scooch over. Emma Coburn, Katie Rainsberger and Elise Cranny? You, too. If Addison Ritzenhein isn’t the greatest girls prep distance runner in Colorado…

Keeler: Avalanche, Josh Manson expose Wild’s Temu tough guys as bad actors, too, take 3-1 series lead

Turns out the Temu tough guys are lousy actors, too. The Minnesota Mild threw every trick they could find from Whiny Pete DeBoer’s playbook at the Avalanche in Game 4. Especially the dirty ones.
