Denver is feeling good about tonight
There's a real buzz today, like a perfect bluebird sky over the Divide. You can feel it from the folks grabbing coffee at Crema in RiNo to the guys on the light rail heading downtown. Nobody's talking about a tough descent tonight against the Vegas Golden Knights; it’s all about maintaining that high-altitude pace. The Colorado Avalanche are flying, and the city knows it.
The big talk is how Nathan MacKinnon just keeps finding the line, pushing for that Hart Trophy. You hear it at the rec center, in the group chats – "Can he really do it?" Yeah, he can. People are also whispering about the power play, how it’s just reading the terrain better than anyone right now. There's that underlying confidence of a city that’s seen the summit recently, but everyone's focused on making sure we keep this climb going.
Altitude hockey — the air is thin and the Avs are here. Vanny out.
