Jon Cooper says the Avs crowd creates an energy early in the game that the team feeds off of. He said it was that energy combined with altitude that made TB struggle in games 1 and 2. Bring it tonight Avs fans. You literally have an impact.

“I just can’t see any other sport letting a guy lay there bleeding” Nathan MacKinnon is spot on. We’re all in the same boat on this one but this is egregious. I’d be willing to bet the NHL tightens up after getting called out by one of it’s superstars.
