« *Denver Gazette beat writer Kyle Fredrickson takes you around the NHL and inside the Colorado Avalanche:*
#### WHAT THEY SAID
“A team can get like: ‘Relax, coach, it’s OK. We’re 6-0. What are you worried about?’ That changed a couple of years ago for us. Guys are more accepting of what we’re showing to really tightening up, regardless of wins or losses. It really changed for us in a big way for us in the championship year. Because they understand that I’m not just trying to make us better because I’m worried about winning against Pittsburgh. It’s about the long-term habits that you have to really hone-in on come playoff time when you might not score seven goals. Maybe that seven turns to one and you still have to win the game.”
— Avalanche coach **Jared Bednar** on Wednesday in an Altitude Radio interview.

#### WHAT I’M THINKING
— You couldn’t dream up a better start to the Avalanche season. They’ve won six in a row in a variety of ways with different players stepping up every night. It’s allowed Bednar to play around with different lineup combinations without sacrificing victories. But just how sustainable is the streak? »

Article by Kyle Fredrickson is not paywalled if you would like to keep reading.
In a game where puck possession is king, having someone who can win draws is relieving.
For starters, it’s great that Bednar has had the ability to try new lines instead of being forced to with injuries.
Chemistry this early in the season is a blessing for sure.
I’ll be the first to admit I was skeptical about a guy coming off a blown Achillies trying to fit into a team designed off speed.
But so far (and I really emphasize so far cause it’s only been 6 games) he’s giving me Kadri vibes.
We all know how that shit goes.
