As prepare to face Minnesota at Ball Arena, the No. 4-ranked Pios appear to have one of the best defense corps in the nation.

A guy who was seen on video pissing on his rival's field at New Mexico State is going to be in New York City soon as a Heisman Trophy candidate for Vanderbilt.

Martin Necas had a bad day at the office yesterday.
He is having a very good one today. If hockey had a successful take-ons stat like they do in futbol, No. 88 would have ... many, today.

Gabe Landeskog has his second goal of the day, from Nathan MacKinnon and Martin Necas. PPG.

Five guys with multiple points today, led by Nelson's four.
And some "Landy" chants at Ball Arena.

This is Brock Nelson's first four-point game game since Nov. 4, 2021. He scored four goals that day.
Anyone want to guess who the opponent was that day? Should only need one guess (given that I am asking and worded it like that).

The Habs played yesterday in a different time zone (so did the #Avs) and you shouldn't really be in the business of drawing conclusions about a team based on one game.
That said, their effort in the defensive zone has looked awful at times today. Avs are getting whatever they want.

Nathan MacKinnon gets No. 20 of the year. Great pass from Cale Makar to start the play. Gabe Landeskog shot, MacKinnon rebound.

Juraj Slafkovsky just made a sick spin move to set up Ivan Demidov for a one-timer.
Very pretty. After some, uh, optional defending at the other end that almost led to Colorado's 5th goal had Gabe Landeskog's stick not broke.

Brock Nelson gets his second goal back. People who weren't paying attention a few minutes ago are throwing their hats.
2-on-0, Nelson misses the net, Necas corrals it, dekes a guy and sets up Nelson for a layup.
4-0 #Avs
This has not been a fair fight at 5-on-5 today.

Still a three-point day for Brock Nelson (1G, 2A). Hockey gods giving 92 one back after the early-season weird stuff.

We are getting an ice maintenance break here. The net won't stay on the moorings behind Jakub Dobes.
The #Avs power play at that end included multiple guys falling down at the end and MacKinnon/Necas both flubbing passes they make in their sleep.
