Moser, Lombardi and Kane

0:00 - Ding dong, the Flop is dead! The Spurs beat the Thunder in 7, and they're heading back to the NBA Finals. Watching the WCF got Brett thinking...could the Nuggets beat either of these teams in a 7 game series when fully healthy? Even though the biggest concern is whether or not the Nuggets CAN stay healthy for a full season & playoffs. Ultimately, what do the Nuggets need to do? 14:31 -...

0:00 - Von Miller chatted with us for a few minutes this morning! Vic hosted his Von's Vision fundraiser event last night. It's not secret that the Vonster wants to return to the Broncos ASAFP. We asked him what he thinks his role would be in the already stacked Broncos defense. 17:18 - The more and more Brett stews on it, the more and more Avs vs Golden Knights seems like a fluke. If you play tha...

0:00 - What's worse? Knowing what you need to do to fix your roster, but not being able to do it because of cap/CBA contraints? Or having a great roster that fell short and not knowing what you're supposed to do with it? Could we possibly be talking about 2 teams in this town? 13:22 - The NBA officially approved a "solution" that's going to "fix" the tanking "issue" that's plaguing the league! Her...

0:00 - The Avs and the Nuggets are in different situations roster-wise. The Nuggets might know what they need to do, but don't have the cap room to do it. Meanwhile, the Avalanche don't know WHAT to do, and maybe they don't need to do anything! They're different sides of the same weird coin. 15:14 - Vic hosted Von Miller's Von's Vision fundraiser last night, and he got the Vonster to give us a few...

0:00 - Broncos OTAs begin next week! Let's check in with our Broncos Insider, Jeff Legwold of ESPN. What does he think of Patrick Mahomes' impressive recovery timetable? Does he think the Broncos will bring back Von Miller in any capacity? How's Bo Nix's ankle looking? 18:36 - We got a message on the Voice of the People (which is always there for you on the Altitude Sports Radio app, just tap the...

0:00 - Putting aside coaching for the moment...what are personnel needs for the Avalanche? 15:11 - We've had Avalanche tunnel vision for the past month, as we should. What are some NFL stories we've missed during the Avs playoff run? 33:02 - Oh, by the way...Javon Kinlaw might be the first person ever to use profanity as punctuation. Oh, by the way...a reporter asked Drake Maye is he's gotten "thi...

0:00 - Today's mostly going to be an Avalanche Autopsy day. We've had another day to process this crushing defeat a bit more. As we look at the future and the long offseason, what changes do we need to see? 15:19 - All things considered, would you rather be the Avalanche or the Nuggets right now? 32:11 - First, how often does the "best" team actually win? The Avs were the best team in the regular...

0:00 - Watching Colorado collapse in the conference finals broke Brett's brain. We genuinely don't know how to properly evaluate teams anymore. Everything we thought we knew about hockey? Throw it out the window. 13:53 - We've been struggling to make sense of the last 4 games. Logan O'Connor summed it all up pretty succinctly after the game last night.  30:00 - We've experienced 3 heartbreaking pl...

0:00 - Sean Payton hates the phrase, but who cares? The Avs aren't his hump anyway. Should the Avs "run it back" next season? What would that look like? 15:43 - A lot of people have been saying "quit" and "give up" about the Avs. Did the quit last night in Game 4? Did they give up? Or did they battle til the bitter end? 32:28 - The conversation surrounding Cale Makar, his injury, and his return we...

0:00 - That's all, folks. The Colorado Wagon rolled to a complete stop last night. Vegas completed the sweep of the Avalanche and ended their quest for Lord Stanley. We're stunned. Speechless. How do we begin to dissect this stupefying series? 15:11 - Complete and total shock. That's what we're feeling this morning. How does it compare to the way we felt after the Broncos got obliterated in Super...

0:00 - Yesterday on the Morning Sprint, Raj said Bednar will probably lose his job UNLESS the Avs push this series to 7 games. If they lose in 4, 5, or 6, he's gone. His message in the locker room has gotten stale. Is there any truth to that? Just how hot is Bednar's seat? 13:54 - Why did the tides turn against the Avs in Game 3? They had a 3-goal lead, they had momentum, heck, they even had PUCK...

0:00 - It's win or go home tonight. How will the Avs respond? Will they rise to the challenge? 17:16 - Vic shared some heartfelt memories of the late great Ezio Lombardi. He truly lived the American Dream. Rest in peace a North Denver legend. After that, do we think Nathan MacKinnon will be able to rally and play tonight? Even if he plays in a very limited capacity, can a hobbled MacKinnon be a di...

0:00 - What do you expect to see from the Avalanche tonight in Game 4? What do you want/need to see from the Avs? Do you want to see them win a game for the sake of pride? Or would you rather they just lose, head to Cancun, and start getting healthy? 15:37 - For everyone who wants Bednar fired, what do you want him to do differently? WHY do you want him fired? Brett is sick of people hammering the...

0:00 - Believe it or not, teams HAVE battled back from down 0-3 in the Stanley Cup Playoffs before! It's not unprecedented. Brett dug up the numbers. Improbable? Definitely. Impossible? No.  14:33 - In order to "fix" the Avs, we have to diagnose the problem. And that's where it gets weird. What's the issue with the Avs? We can't find one. Aside from the fact that, well, they're not winning.  34:52...

0:00 - The Avalanche caught whatever's plaguing the Nuggets. They lack any sort of fight and mental fortitude. They had a 3-0 lead over Vegas last night, and after Vegas scored that first goal, it seems like the tires completely popped off the Colorado Wagon. It's like the Avs just rolled over and gave up. Where's the fight? Where's the grit? 16:16 - This wasn't supposed to happen to the Avs. They...

0:00 - For people who speak into a microphone for a living, we were rendered speechless last night. That was such a monumental and meteoric collapse by the Avalanche to all but doom their season. Unbelievable. We know they're only down 0-3 and the season isn't over yet, but man it feels like it's over today. What the heck happened to this team?? 15:48 - After Game 2, Coach Bednar said it's Cale's...

0:00 - Cale Makar is on the ice at morning skate? How's he looking? DMac is down there at Ball Arena. Let's get him on the horn for some live updates on Makar's status. 16:05 - We jokingly gave a morbid keys to the game in the last segment. So NOW, let's get the real Keys to an Avalanche victory tonight in Game 2.  31:27 - It's our favorite part of the week, DRUNK TAKES! We take clips from through...

0:00 - On Spittin Chiclets the other day, Biz said the Avalanche are done for without Cale Makar. Erik Johnson joined Pat McAfee and said missing Cale Makar is like missing prime LeBron James. Can the Avalanche still win this series without him in the lineup? 15:32 - We cold-called Mark Rycroft, and he answered the phone LIVE from his toilet! That's the kind of unfettered access we get here at Alt...

0:00 - It's finally GAME DAY! Avs vs Golden Knights Game 2. Western Conference Final. Ball Arena. Makar or no Makar, we're excited, but it's a chance for the Avs to really prove themselves. 14:38 - We're not panicking about the Avs. You heard us say it all day yesterday. But you know who else isn't panicked? The team! If you listen to everything Bedsie and the players said postgame after the Game...

0:00 - Nathan MacKinnon said it like 5 times postgame: they Avs didn't execute. They stuck to the plan for a good majority of the game, but you need to play a full 60 min to beat Vegas. ESPECIALLY in the playoffs. Why did their gameplan falter at times? 13:57 - This Avalanche squad knows how to respond to adversity. Coach Bednar said it himself after the game. Look at how they've responded all sea...

0:00 - Last night's Avs loss stings. Losing to Vegas is never fun, especially at home in Game 1 of the Western Conference Final. But the Avs did a lot of things right. There are PLENTY of positive takeaways. They need to tighten up their execution, put more pressure on Carter Hart, and figure out their line combos without Makar. But make no mistake. They WILL respond and win Game 2.  12:32 - Are y...

0:00 - The Avs lost to Vegas last night in Game 1 of the Western Conference Final. Oh boy. Here we go again. But the boys aren't panicking this morning! The Avalanche played a solid game last night, but couldn't execute in key moments. It was a razor thin margin. The final score doesn't do justice how close the game actually was. Do you agree with Brett & Moser? Or are you hitting the panic bu...

0:00 - Brett says the Avs vs Golden Knights series will come down to 3 things.  16:09 - Coach Bednar spoke with us earlier today, and he said this team is HUNGRY right now. They had a similar hunger in 2022. They were fueled by their early exit in 2021 when the fell flat on their faces vs these same Golden Knights and got bounced in the 2nd round. 33:33 - Moser left early. Vic left early. So inste...

0:00 - How's Coach feeling before the Western Conference Final begins tonight? Will he give us a concrete injury update? Are his boys ready to roll? 17:30 - Both Moser and Vic have to leave the show early today. Doesn't anyone WORK around here?? Brett's the only one holding it down. So before Moser leaves, let's get a Keys to the Game: Western Conference Final edition. Can he incorporate more Star...

0:00 - It's finally here. The Colorado Hockey Avalanche will play a hockey game tonight. How are we feeling, Avalanche Territory? 17:02 - Are you nervous about Avs vs Golden Knights Game 1? Do you still have residual trauma from 2021? It's understandable if you do, but let's compare the rosters. The 2026 Avs are COMPLETELY different from the 2021 Avs that collapsed in the 2nd round vs Vegas. Speak...
