| 0:00.0 | Welcome in to the DNVR avalanche podcast. We got Eric, we got Megan, we got Rudo coming to you live. Our first off-day pod in what feels like a long time. Lots of avalanche hockey going on. But we figured on an off day it would be a good time to talk a little bit around the league, a little bit what's going on in the NHL outside of the avalanche bubbles. Because let's face it, who wants to talk about a three-game losing streak? Nobody, right? That's not a thing we care about. No. They are two overtime losses, to be fair. It's not that bad. But certainly, the starting point I want to jump off from here, As are a whole lot better than these two teams. |
| 0:38.8 | Who's worse? |
| 0:41.6 | The Chicago Blackhawks or the San Jose Sharks? |
| 0:44.1 | Oh, Megan, go. |
| 0:44.9 | You got it. |
| 0:49.1 | Obviously, worse is subjective. Of course. |
| 0:49.9 | And the reason it feels like Chicago is because San Jose didn't make a lot of moves in the offseason |
| 0:55.0 | to become better. |
| 0:56.2 | They did not. |
| 0:56.8 | And Chicago, obviously, drafting BDard and making additions to their depth and their forward |
| 1:06.2 | group on the whole suggests that there was a little bit more effort and obviously that has just never made a |
| 1:13.2 | lot of sense on paper. It feels like they weren't fully, neither team was fully committed, but San Jose |
| 1:18.0 | at least was honest about that. And I don't think that Chicago was. And I think now the troubles of |
| 1:24.0 | that are catching up to both teams, of course, but Chicago in particular. |
| 1:34.6 | And it's worrisome for both teams with young players on the rise that need a little bit more support around them to succeed. And I think that's why we're seeing the results that we have. |
| 1:38.3 | You know, the Connor Bedards of the world need decent talent around them to elevate their play and get them baptized into the |
| 1:47.6 | National League. And I think that's just the struggles. It's in every area, right? It's not just |
| 1:51.7 | the forward group. On D, there's a lot of question mark. With Chicago, I think Kortinski is a |
| 1:57.3 | wonderful young player. Similar reasons, though, That is such a tough position to throw into the |
| 2:02.2 | gauntlet too soon. And I think it's why it's such a position you want to develop very delicately. |
| 2:07.5 | And I worry about that a little bit with Chicago more so maybe than San Jose because I'm not really |
| 2:14.1 | sure what San Jose is doing right now. |
