Avalanche Journal: How Colorado’s power play finally regained its mojo

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:29:22 GMT

The Colorado Avalanche had a pretty successful run on the power play earlier this season — nine straight games with at least one goal, 11 in total.But there was still something, or some things, missing.Sure, being able to count on the power play to get one most nights is a luxury for some teams. For a team like the Avalanche that can start PP1 with three of the best players in the world, the standard is a little higher.One personnel change helped. A shift in the mindset helped. Those world-class players shooting better helped. The result has been a scorching-hot power play — 16 goals in 11 games after collecting a pair Tuesday night against the New York Islanders, and a return to being a group that should be feared by opposing clubs.“I think the work-based part of it has improved, checking (to get) pucks back, getting numbers around the puck, winning battles and keeping plays alive in the offensive zone,” Avs coach Jared Bednar said. “That’s been better.

Trevor Bauer wants Major League Baseball to give him another chance.The former Los Angeles Dodgers star pitcher and Cy Young award winner appeared on Fox News Channel on Thursday in his first television interview since he was suspended by MLB amid allegations that he sexually assaulted and beat a woman in 2021. Charges were never filed and Bauer and his accuser settled dueling defamation lawsuits out of court last year. “I’ve never sexually assaulted anyone. Never will. Never have. It's not who I am as a person,” Bauer told FNC’s Bill Hemmer. “It’s been excruciating the last two and a half years being seen that way.”In February 2021, Bauer signed a three-year, $102 million contract with the Dodgers after winning the National League Cy Young Award the previous year.  Once the assault allegation surfaced, the North Hollywood native was placed on administrative leave by MLB in July 2021. He was suspended an unprecedented 324 games, which was later reduced to 194 gam...
