Could Scott Wedgewood and/or Mackenzie Blackwood Make Team Canada?



Colorado Avalanche goalies Scott Wedgewood and Mackenzie Blackwood ignite Olympic buzz with back-to-back shutouts, raising the question: Could both netminders secure spots on Team Canada? Chris Micieli and Zach Pearson break down the standout performances, debate roster implications for the Olympics, and assess how established names like Jordan Binnington and Logan Thompson fit into the conversation. Listener questions spark analysis of Avalanche goaltending depth, NHL draft “white buffalo” regrets, and the lasting impact of missed prospects including Cole Caufield and Clayton Keller.

The episode also spotlights Colorado’s upcoming schedule, power ranking their opponents—San Jose Sharks, Minnesota Wild, and Montreal Canadiens—and explores which Avalanche specialty night is a must-attend, from Star Wars Night to the New Year’s Eve clash against the St. Louis Blues. Tune in for sharp insights, memorable hockey moments, and a look ahead at the Avalanche’s path through the NHL season and Olympic selection drama.

    The ideal game will be the New Year's Eve game against the Blues… Fresh off the news that Team Canada has snubbed Binnington for Blackwood, Wedgewood, and Thompson, and the Avs defeating the Blues, chasing Binnington from the net.

    I've been to New Years. It is a blast. Fireworks in the arena, and then you can linger at Ball and watch all the other downtown displays from the windows. It's a great time!

    if blacky wasnt out to start the year i was hoping he was gonna get off to a hot start and he would make it and now wediges off to that start ,if they dont take wedgie well there just dumb ,and if blacky has an amazing next 25 days he has to be consider although , rather just one of our goalies go and can rest the other, if neither go fine more rest , and ill pray for my country lol

    Not only should they be in the Team Canada talk…..but Wedgewood should be in the Vezina talk. I put $ on his at 201-1 and now he is at 26-1. Finally the problem we wanted for years in Colorado……2 AMAZING goaltenders .
