Avalanche Double Up Rangers For 7th Straight Win. MacKinnon Keeps Climbing the Franchise Ladder

Colorado Avalanche notch 7 in a row as Nathan MacKinnon closes in on franchise immortality. Can anyone slow down this offensive juggernaut? Chris Micieli and Zach Pearson break down the Avalanche’s 6-3 win over the New York Rangers, spotlighting MacKinnon’s dominant performance, Cale Makar’s dynamic wraparound goal, and the team’s resilience—even when trailing early or getting “goalied” by elite netminders like Igor Shesterkin.

Key conversations include Colorado’s overpowering possession metrics, special teams struggles, and the rise of Brock Nelson and depth players amid injuries. The hosts debate MacKinnon’s place among NHL elites, assess the Rangers’ “vanilla” style, and consider how the Avalanche’s winning formula draws comparisons to dynasties like the 2000s New England Patriots. With their seventh consecutive win, are the Avalanche the most unstoppable force in hockey? Don’t miss this deep-dive into the highs, hurdles, and future stakes for Colorado’s title chase.
