Avalanche’s (slightly) inconsistent power play is arguably the biggest (but still minor) concern

Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 19:31:02 GMT

PITTSBURGH – When a team starts the season 6-1 and still has the second-best goal differential in the league after a four-goal loss, there probably isn’t a whole lot to be concerned about.The Avalanche wasted little time this season showing it can be one of the best teams in the NHL. Given the new depth up front, the best collection of defensemen in the sport, and a great start from goaltender Alexandar Georgiev and the penalty kill, and this looks like a complete team with the highest ceiling possible.So, is there anything to worry about to the point? That’s hard to say, because “small sample size” is an easy retort for any response.If we’re really digging deep, the one area that hasn’t quite met this team’s incredibly high standard for itself is the power play. It was an issue in the club’s only loss, a 4-0 defeat Thursday night against the Penguins.The Avalanche had five power-play opportunities, including nearly six minutes of extra-man time in the second period when the game wa...

Colorado Buffs strive to get back on track in visit to No. 23 UCLA

Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 19:31:02 GMT

Colorado tight ends coach Tim Brewster has a unique perspective on the Buffs’ attempt to restore some glory after a 1-11 season in 2022.Brewster has been in coaching for more than 35 years, including a four-year run as the head coach at the University of Minnesota. In Brewster’s first year with the Gophers, in 2007, they went 1-11. In year No. 2, they went 7-6 and played in a bowl game.This year, the situation is a bit different, but the first-year CU staff is doing its best to pull the Buffs away from the dismal 1-11 season of a year ago. This staff wasn’t here last year, but they have found a way to restore respect, if not glory, to the program.“The real word that you look for as a coach is: consistency – in pride, in your performance,” Brewster said this week. “Understanding how proud you are of the name on the front and the name on the back.”Consistency is something the Buffaloes are still striving to achieve as they visit No. 23 UCLA on Saturday in Pasadena, Calif. Yet, as the ...
