What the Avalanche must consider before naming their game 5 starter? Do the Wild have anything left?
The Drive reacts to the Avalanche’s massive Game 4 win, a night where Colorado re‑established control, grabbed a 3–1 stranglehold on the series, and reminded the Wild what real playoff hockey looks like. After an uninspired Game 3 loss, the Avs answered with physicality, defensive commitment, and a tone‑setting edge that Minnesota simply had no answer for. The guys break down the moment they knew “this team isn’t losing tonight,” how the Avs’ top‑ranked penalty kill continues to suffocate opponents, and why the Wild generated almost nothing outside of a single bad Manson penalty. And of course — the biggest storyline of the night: Mackenzie Blackwood. How did he look in his first postseason start Did he earn the net for a potential closeout in Game 5 And have the Avs already punched their ticket to the Western Conference Final IN THIS EPISODE, THE GUYS BREAK DOWN: • How the Avs restored order with a dominant Game 4 response • What Colorado’s physicality revealed about the gap between these teams • Why the Wild had nothing outside of one bad Manson penalty • How Mackenzie Blackwood handled the moment in his first start • Whether Blackwood should start the potential closeout in Game 5 • If the Avs have effectively punched their ticket to the WCF Avs fans — jump in the comments: • When did YOU know the Avs weren’t losing Game 4 • Who should start Game 5: Blackwood or Wedgewood • And have the Avs already taken full control of this series
