Do the Avalanche get too much of a pass after another playoff collapse? — Zach & Phil angrily debate
Zach Bye and Phillip Lindsay get into a heated debate over the Colorado Avalanche’s expectations. Zach points out that the Avs haven’t won a game past the second round since their Stanley Cup, were favored in every series, and still got swept by Vegas in the Western Conference Finals.
He calls out the organization for labeling last season “Cup or Bust” — yet nothing busted after one of the biggest disappointments in franchise history. Phil defends the Avs, saying they’re still better off than the Nuggets and have hope for next year. But Zach counters with a harsh reality: the Avalanche are now the oldest team in the NHL.
So is this year truly Cup or Bust for the Avalanche, or do we keep giving them a pass?
