3-25-26 Hour 1 - Nuggets sneak past the Suns/Avs smash the Penguins/Jared Bednar

This episode of Moser, Lombardi and Kane dives into the recent double-dipper results for the Denver Nuggets and Colorado Avalanche, both securing wins on the same night. The hosts express frustration over the Nuggets' grueling schedule—four back-to-backs this season, more than any other team—highlighting the competitive imbalance when one team faces repeated travel and fatigue. They argue that the NBA’s scheduling prioritizes television over fairness, especially when games tip off late in the East Coast. The discussion shifts to the Avalanche’s 6-2 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins, where despite a sloppy performance, they relied on strong goaltending and a revitalized power play. Coach Jared Bednar joins the show, expressing dissatisfaction with the team’s execution despite the victory, emphasizing the need for high standards. The hosts also debate the authenticity of 'heritage nights' like Serbian Heritage Night, suggesting they’re more about revenue than cultural celebration. They reflect on the Avs’ packed final stretch of the season, with eight games in 12 days, and the importance of securing a comfortable lead to allow rest before the playoffs. The episode closes with a lighthearted exchange about Canadian geography and a tease for an upcoming MVP discussion on Nikola Jokic.
