Hour 1 of The Drive kicks off with Zach and Richie cross talking with Dover and Cecil. The guys discuss the Nuggets and their lack of defensive prowess with their first time head coach, David Adelman. Is it worth the risk of playing Jamal Murray tonight in Indiana or wait until he is fully healthy to make sure, he doesn't join Gordon and Braun as starters missing extended time? Zach and Richie debate if Sunday's performance from Evan Engram was something we will continue to see or if it was a "flash in the pan"? We react to the historic run the Avalanche are on with only one regulation loss in their first 26 games. What kind of pace is Nathan MacKinnon on as far as points and goals go this season? What version of the Nuggets will we see in Indiana tonight? Will they be able to take care of business vs a lesser than opponent? 

Dover and Cecil began the show explaining why they want the Broncos to dominate the Raiders on Sunday. The fellas talked about the Avs getting another win last night with Nathan MacKinnon scoring 2 more goals. Do the Broncos have another gear that they can kick into? The guys broke down the money issue that CU is currently having. 

00:00 High Five.14:40 Nathan MacKinnon and Nikola Jokic's MVP chances.34:15 Danilo Gallinari retires.

The Avs beat the Canucks last night, 3-1 and are now up to 44 points on the season and have not lost in regulation at home. The team is on pace for the most points in the history of the NHL, so why aren't the Avs talked about more in the Denver market? A Nikola Jokić vs. Nathan MacKinnon debate - which player is more dominant? Can any team beat the Avs in a 7-game series right now? Plus, are there 10 quarterbacks in the NFL that are currently better than Bo Nix? How many QB's would you take over Nix in the 4th quarter in crunch time? And finally, who is the best college football head coach in the state of Colorado? Troy Calhoun, Deion Sanders or Jim Mora? Eric and Bruce break it all down on a Wednesday morning edition of Hot Takes! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The Sharks have surprised the league by sitting in a wildcard spot 27 games in, powered by 20-year-olds Macklin Celebrini—now second in league scoring behind Nathan MacKinnon—and Will Smith, though Ray still sees Anaheim as slightly ahead with better defence, size, and young depth. Team Canada faces a looming Olympic question: with a month until selections, can Connor Bedard realistically be left off the roster, and shouldn’t he at least be one of the two extras over another depth checker? Meanwhile, new concerns surface about Milan’s Olympic rink reportedly being four feet smaller than NHL size, and Ray wonders how much it would affect play. Trivia of the week: Crosby has scored on 167 different goalies, Ovechkin on 186—so how many did Ray beat in his career? We may need to crowd-sourse the answer. Winnipeg continues to spiral without Connor Hellebuyck, getting torched 5–1 by Buffalo as poor secondary scoring may be forcing players to cheat offensively and worsening their defensive issues. In Toronto, the Leafs may be exploring trades despite limited assets, with Troy Stecher making the most of a fresh opportunity amid blueline injuries. And in Carolina, the Hurricanes’ three-goalie system rolls on, with Brandon Bussi now 7–1 while facing just 27 total shots in his last two outings thanks to the Canes’ suffocating puck control.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

0:00 - The Broncos vs Chiefs game on Sunday will be considered a "measuring stick" game for Denver. What will the game come down to? Defense? Bo Nix vs Patrick Mahomes?14:54 - Bo Nix isn't getting sacked that much. He's the least-sacked QB in the AFC West by a country mile. But that's not necessarily a good thing. In order to explain, we need to coin a new term: Sackholm Syndrome.36:47 - Through 16 games, Nathan MacKinnon is doing Nathan MacKinnon things at a career-high pace. It's wild that he continues to get better. The MVP is even more valuable than he was last year.

The Avalanche keep finding ways to grab points and Val Nichushkin is a big reason why. Jesse Montano and Meghan Angley break down Colorado's thrilling comeback effort against the Carolina Hurricanes, where the Avs clawed back from a 1-4 deficit to earn a shootout point and stay unbeaten in regulation. They dig into Nichushkin's surge, the power play's ups and downs, and Jared Bednar's postgame comments about “casual defense” in the first period.   #ColoradoAvalanche #GoAvsGo #AvsNation #NathanMacKinnon #CaleMakar #GuerillaSports #Hockey #AvalancheHockey #MileHighHockey #AvsFans #Avalanche2025 #Mikko Rantanen #AvsGameDay #NHLHighlights #DenverSports #AvalancheForever #MakarMagic #HockeyInColorado #StanleyCup #NHL This show is brought to you by RefiJet Did you know you could refinance your auto loan? With RefiJet, you could save around $150 a month—all with just a soft credit pull and zero hassle.

Steve interviews Adrian Dater (00:36:20) his friend and a longtime beat writer for the Colorado Avalanche. The former co-host of the Lonely End of the Rink podcast returns to the podcast to talk about the Colorado Avalanche, the Buffalo Sabres, rock concerts, and Adrian's trip to England. Steve and Adrian talk about the individual brilliance of Nathan MacKinnon and Cale Makar, the return of Gabriel Landeskog, and the outlook of the 2025-26 Avalanche. Adrian gives his opinion on the Sabres, discusses the future of Kiss (this interview was recorded before the news of Ace Frehley's dire heath situation broke), details his experience at Anfield to see Liverpool take on Newcastle. Steve starts the show with first things first. Italy has an incredible international break at the senior and u21 levels, the baseball playoffs have been fantastic, the Saints always play the same game, and the sports media story of the week is about the future of the broadcast booth for the MLB playoffs. The show ends with one last thing and Steve waxes poetic about the return of his favorite Gatorade flavor (seriously).

In hour 2 of The Drive, Zach and Phil react to the latest projections for the Broncos when it comes to their win total, playoff odds, and more. We breakdown the Broncos playoff matchup if the playoffs were to start today. We react to Dre Greenlaw returning to practice today and Sean Payton's comments on it. What would the return of Greenlaw bring to this already impressive Broncos' defense? Today's "Three Count" features the first ever time the Broncos have won the AFC defensive player of the week award with Jonathon Cooper taking home the award this week, the late Demaryius Thomas being inducted into the Broncos ring of fame at this Sunday's game, and Russell Westbrook signing with the Sacramento Kings today for his 18th season. We react to ESPN's rankings of the top 100 players in the NHL which featured Nathan MacKinnon, Cale Makar, Marty Necas and Devon Toews. 

The Panthers are silencing doubters with a hot start despite key injuries to Barkov and Tkachuk. Nathan MacKinnon is near the top of the scoring race, thriving alongside Martin Nečas as Colorado expects important clashes with Dallas throughout the year... and faces looming cap questions with Cale Makar’s next deal. Newly paid stars like Eichel, Kaprizov, and Connor are backing up their contracts with strong starts, and Team USA is shaping up to be a powerhouse for the Olympics. In Montreal, Lane Hutson’s eight-year extension locks in another key piece of the Habs’ young core, while Buffalo languishes again at the bottom, leaving players like Dahlin and Tuch frustrated in a team without identity. Detroit, meanwhile, looks poised for a breakout behind its youthful lineup, and in Toronto, Craig Berube is calling for more consistency from William Nylander, drawing Ray’s comparison to the enigmatic Alex Kovalev.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

0:00 - That Broncos vs Jets game was so incredibly bad and boring. It set the game of football back decades. Maybe they were trying to win over the Brits by only kicking the football. I digress...we asked Adam Schefter if he was able to stomach the whole thing, then got Schefty's thoughts on the NFL weekend that was.18:14 - The Chargers and Chiefs both won yesterday. The AFC West is looking like the AFC wild wild West. Broncos NEED to consistently move the ball on offense to keep pace. And their offense runs incredibly hot and cold. Yesterday proved one thing to us: they really miss Ben Powers and need to figure out how to stay afloat while he's out.34:11 - It's only preseason, but the Revamped Nuggets are looking sharp out there. Thank goodness we successfully secured Valanciunas and didn't let him go to Greece. Also, the Avs lost to the Stars again on Saturday. The curse lives on. The Avs power play is still not where it needs to be. Fans in Ball Arena booed their own squad, and Nathan MacKinnon wasn't having it.
