Let's go now to the Able Auctions hotline. Our next guest is a beat writer for Colorado Hockey Now. Arif Dean joins us here on the Halford & Brough Show on Sportsnet 650. Morning, Arif. How are you?
I'm doing well. I'm heading back to Denver here in a couple hours, but not before a... Fun couple of games here in Minnesota.
Yeah, especially fun for the Colorado Avalanche. And, you know, one of the things that we haven't really mentioned, although we mentioned it briefly, big move, big gamble, if you will, by Jared Bednar going with Mackenzie Blackwood, going to the lumberyard yesterday and going with Blackwood over Wedgwood. It pays off. Colorado dominant in front of him, but Blackwood good as well. I guess a two-part question here. Were you surprised that they made the flip to Blackwood? And what did you think of his performance last night in 5-2 victory game? for the abs.
So I wasn't, uh, I wasn't as surprised as, as others, just because there's a couple of things. Number one, When the playoffs started, Jared Bednar was pretty open about, like, I'm using a tandem. But when your team goes 6-0 to start the playoffs, you don't really want to make a change. Like, I don't think it would have made sense to take out Scott Wedgwood after, you know, those first five or six games, maybe after game one. But that was just one of those crazy games that you don't really blame on the goalie for. And number two, he's done this all year. I think the surprise in all of this is that this had been the longest that Blackwood had pretty much gone as a healthy goalie because he has missed some time this year without playing.
What are the key strategies being implemented at BC Lions training camp?
And when you take that into consideration, it was almost a month. It is a pretty pivotal game. There's a huge difference between Coming back home 3-1, and then it's a whole new series, and it's 2-2. So that was a big, big move there for Jared Bednar. And Blackwood responded, and he responded well. Great move there. And then, sorry, what was your second question again?
Oh, just the performance that Blackwood put up. Because, yeah, I also heard those remarks from Bednar earlier prior to the start of the playoffs that, you know, like some other teams that were going in that had relied on two goalies, he was comfortable going to a tandem. But it had been all Wedgwood. I know it was only 19 saves for Blackwood last night, but that game was tight in the third period before the empty netters. And I thought he was especially good in the third period.
Yeah, he had to make some really, really big saves there. And I think in the third period, it was 15 to 12 were the scoring chances. And that comes in a game where that was more than half of the scoring chances that the Minnesota Wild had all game. And, you know, as you know, it was a game that was pretty much tied or within a goal the entire way.
