I experienced something last week that I think Mackenzie Blackwood can relate to lately, and it’s all because of you Avalanche fans. Last week in my column I told y’all I got engaged, and not one of you congratulated me for it. Too Late! Don’t come at me with congrats messages now! That ship has sailed.
Mackenzie Blackwood probably knows the feeling - the deep despair of a fanbase not giving you your flowers when you clearly deserve them. Despite posting a .919 save percentage, a 2.15 goals against average, and a 21-8 record in Avalanche burgundy and blue, a couple great games from career backup Scott Wedgewood led fans to drum up a starting goaltender controversy out of nowhere.
