  1. Dominant performance from the Avs but we gotta admit putting Chicago in Colorado (at altitude) for their home opener at the end of a long road trip against some good teams was just kinda mean. Yes we get it, everyone wants to see Bedard play against the best the league has to offer but jeez don't break the kid right out of the gate…Chicago looked completely gassed. That said 4-0 looks good to me and the Avs PK is vastly improved from last season. Georgy looks real comfy so far too. Lets hope for better luck and health this season. Last season was an injury nightmare.

  2. Wow…Mrazek was incredible. Wanted the Blackhawks to win just for him. Everyone else on that team blew

  3. It was a good game. Unfortunately Bedard spent a lot of time watching the Avs players on the ice. The young Blackhawk players were definitely outmatched. Avs dominated. Also think the altitude was a factor.

  4. Man Bedard looks like hes out of his element. Doesnt look like hes very confident and dont see much skill in him. I honestly think the hype train was too much. Poor kid.

  5. Bedard on the point for the PP seems wild to me.. he's gonna get burned like that often if he stays there.

  6. Bedard is small & slow. He has 2 weapons- that toe drag & 15 foot wrist shot. You can only dine out on that for so long.

  7. "The Avs are just letting Vegas borrow it, for a year. The Cup is coming back to Denver, okay?" – Peyton manning

  8. Mrazek is at a vezina pace and a strong contender if he plays like this, this isnt the first game neither.

    Defence is like a swiss cheese their not givning him a break what so ever.

    Is there someone equal as of now? Havent watched every game for obvoius reasones, any suggestions?

    They should trade Mrazek if they want some value out of him

  9. I was at this game with my sister, looked like we were playing on the power play all game. My sister started feeling bad for the hawks. I didn’t. They deserve it.

  10. My main takeaway from this is that Bedard will NEVER be as good as Mackinnon. Not the same level of generational talent. Too weak on the puck.

  11. Last two number one draft picks destroyed by their organizations…expectations on Slafkovsky were very high, Montreal is rushing his development and despite the fact he does try to look comfortable I don't think he actually is. I think the same will eventually happen to Bedard as well.

  12. amazing game from Tats, loved his backskating and vision on the ice… at least it didnt took too long to show his presence

  13. Avs on a whole different level. It is like they have a 2 man advantage the whole game. But then not many teams can come in to Colorado and win.
