Stop me if you've heard this one before, but the Avalanche have been shutdown due to COVID issues, only after the roster was decimated before their 5-2 loss to the Nashville Predators. Adding to the fire, the NHL has been slammed with COVID with seven teams shut down heading into Christmas. What's the solution here? Is there one at all? Also, a third player had to be carted off the ice and hospitalized the other day after another dirty head shot. Finally, a thank you to all of you to everybody who has stuck with this show as we hit our one year anniversary.
