In my latest for Mile High Sticking the Avs are so good I’m pondering records and a first Jack Adams for Bedsy - you know I want it, but how much would it really matter? #GoAvsGo

Could Jared Bednar finally capture coaching hardware this season?
The Jack Adams Award, bestowed on hockey's best bench boss, may be in reach of Colorado's longest-tenured coach. How important would it be?

Uh oh. About to watch this Indonesian zombie film on Netflix and I am only now seeing that my Indonesian friend from Letterboxd gave it a single star rating…

I fear we may be in for a certified stinker.
The Avs roll into Brock Nelson’s return to New York tonight still cruising. Brock might look like he stepped out of a sepia photo but he’s playing great lately. Thinking of him for the movie game.

Avs win - Fountain of Youth

Avs lose - Elixir (2025)

As much as this game stinks I’m not going to be mad. Just gotta regroup for the weekend. #GoAvsGo

Ouch. Avs trail 2-0 on a goal from Isles captain Anders Lee. Going to get tested here in a way we haven’t in a while. #GoAvsGo

Well, they call the goal good. Goalie interference remains the most dubious call in hockey.

Gonna have to go on the PK early. Plenty of time to climb back in. #GoAvsGo

My Best of November mix. Includes one track from every album I bought on BC ( and shared in my weekly rec posts ) + one extra surprise gladie track that came outta nowhere, but I hope is part of a forthcoming release.

This was mostly dumb but still watchable in its way.

It’s supposed to be set in Boulder too which I got a laugh over. Also funny that I found out there was an earlier movie Marry F*** Kill (2023)

IMDb pointed out that one of the actors is in both films.. could’ve been their own movie game.
15 = F*** Marry Kill. A film I know nothing about but the title. I had it in my head that this was a slasher but IMDb tagged it as mystery / romance.

Late to do a movie game matchup ; so we are doing something different tonight. Going to use my list randomizer and then go with the margin of victory to pick what to watch.

Excited to see the Nuggets playing good though!

Another solid win for Colorado. Obviously gotta be concerned for Wedgie. Still, there is so much to be excited for with this team. #GoAvsGo

If I would’ve realized it was Dead night at Ball I would’ve gone with a zombie theme for the movie game.

I love this thing where MacKinnon keeps scoring in the final minute of periods. Also, all these Landy points are giving me the good kind of flashbacks.

Colorado takes a 3-1 lead heading the third frame. #GoAvsGo

Super slick play by Rosco , Gabe and Brock! That chemistry is building. Avalanche lead 2-1 #GoAvsGo
December 3, 2025 at 3:25 AM
Colorado started a little slow but found their feet and Nate tied it at one late in the first. Just stick to your game. #GoAvsGo

An action sequel showdown for the game against Vancouver.

Avs win - Nobody 2

Avs lose - Troll 2

And now I turn to a Polka movie featuring Jack Black apparently doing a Polish accent to cheer me up.

That is a sentence no one has ever written, I’m sure.
Last night’s movie game winner was good, but was also a profound bummer. Tonight I’m hoping a comedy about music will be somewhat lighter.

Nuggets win - Great World of Sound

Nuggets lose - The Polka King

These nuggets are so damn frustrating sometimes.

It’s like they suddenly decided to only attempt 3s

What are you even doing.

Do not give excuses. You were up 17 early. That’s when you drop the hammer and never let them close.

My guys look like they are about to set the soft folk scene on hot fire.

Oh my god!

This game was ridiculous.

Defense tired as hell, getting shredded and you get chance after chance. It comes down to that.

Insanity.

The Denver Broncos are 10-2. #BroncosCountry
December 1, 2025 at 5:06 AM
Hell yeah Broncos! Defense gets a second chance to close this out. LFG! #BroncosCountry

Gah. Momofuku went and changed every element of their product and made it worse in all aspects.

I’m maybe unreasonably upset but their sweet and spicy noodles went from being maybe my favorite lunch to being something I don’t even like.

RJ score!! Back up!! #BroncodCountry
