Another week, another Twitter Tuesday mailbag. This week we get to play a little devil’s advocate and armchair coaching starting with question one.
Imagine you’re coaching against the Avs. How do you beat them? What are their weaknesses? Do the Avs have what it takes to go 7 games against the league’s best?

Man, I like this question a lot. I’ve thought about this quite a bit actually and I think this is how I’d do it.
If you’re playing against the Avalanche, it really all comes down to how your team defends that notorious neutral-zone drop pass, which usually goes to one of either MacKinnon, Compher or Girard usually.
