All Avalanche
- While at the annual GM meeting in Florida, Colorado Avalanche boss Joe Sakic made some rare public comments about the moves made at the trade deadline, his confidence in the team heading into the playoffs, and roster construction both now and in the future.
GM Joe Sakic talked about the maturity and urgency he is seeing in the Avalanche, and more in a Q&A with https://t.co/lf7CgbHFsN.https://t.co/19TCZwRH09

Sakic also couldn’t resist giving his thoughts on why his prized defenseman Cale Makar should win the Norris Trophy.
“I don’t know that I really have to state it, just go watch him play five games in a row and you’ll see. He’s just an amazing player and you know why? He’s not just offensive, he’s a good defender as well and he can be physical. He’s a tough guy to play against. He’s so elusive, so smart with the puck. He just drives the play. One of the things we like most about him, and he’s a young guy, but he’s consistent. It’s every game.”
- The Avalanche put out a fun little video with many of the guys admitting to their daily screen time.
