Welcome in to the Winners Lounge, the Toyota Winners Lounge, presented by your front-range Toyota

dealerships.

This is the DNVR Avalanche Post-DM show.

Presented by Bet365.

The Ave make it five straight in a row.

They defeat to the Toronto Maple Leafs 7 to 4 tonight.

We got Biggie, we got AJ, we got Ruto coming to you live.

Fun game.

I really enjoyed that hockey game.

The Aves played fantastically if your name isn't McKenzie Blackwood, and Blackwood played well enough.

Sick.

I think the offense played well enough, yeah.

Yeah.

Yep.

It was good.

Blackwood gets the old Georgie up win tonight. Indeed. That's the Georgie win. Yeah. Yep. It was good. It was good. Blackwood gets the old Georgie up with tonight. Indeed. That's the Georgie win. Can't escape it. Ab's haven't had enough of those, though. You picked up your goaltender night. I do want to say that part of the reason I love this game, McKenzie Blackwood was not good. Am I worried about McKenzie Blackwood being good in the future? No, he's a really good goalie. He's been good his entire tenure in Colorado so far. One bad game that you win is best case scenario. Oh, yeah, I'm not worried about him. I think somebody during the watch along was bad that I was saying, again, he'll be the first one you he didn't have a good game it's not even the shots that beat him he was too deep he didn't play the puck on that icing thought it was icing I didn't smother the puck on the one before not just the shots that beat him it was a tough first period for me it was a tough tough, I mean, but after that, he was fine.

He made a couple saves down the stretch there. It's all good, but the guys picked him up. That's what good teams do. Yep. That's a great point by Ruto because, you know, he's bailed out a few guys, obviously, since he's been here. This is still a good goaltender. It's not because you have a bad night. And again, it's a tough night.

You're not getting shots.

If the avalanche don't take that lead there, they end up giving up about 17, 18 shots at the most. He ended up at what, 21, whatever. So it's tough. And we all know he's been good at those games, which was new for him because he gets bombarded, usually in San Jose. So I don't worry about them. It was fun to see the avalanche, a four-line team. It was fun to see them produce, you know, that big power play goal because they weren't good on the power play before that, meaning they were losing the special teams battle. It was good to see them punch back. It was a fun game all around.

You can see why they made those trades at the deadline.

I guess now they're a very dangerous team.
