Thank You, Utah Mammoth
I have been timely with the Colorado Avalanche recaps lately, but there are a few reasons why I'm a tad late with this one. For one, I was focused on the World Baseball Classic coming to a close. Also, the NCAA Tournament was kicking off. And, I was looking ahead to Wednesday, which is not only my birthday, but also our big game against the Dallas Stars. Which leads me to another reason for the lateness: I kinda want to forget this game actually happened.

MLB Opening Day Needs to Become a National Holiday
Opening Day: it's more than just a day off for many of us baseball fans from either school or work. It's a long-standing tradition that means so much to us. If you've been playing hooky from school or work for years in order to watch your favorite team play in person or on TV, good for you. Everyone has done it, so no judgement here. The first Opening Day dates back to 1876 between the Boston Red Caps and Philadelphia Athletics, where 3,000 people were in attendance. The Red Caps won that game with a final score of 6-5. 150 years later, the yearly debate of whether the unofficial holiday of baseball should be official continues.

Wednesday Needs to Get Here
The Colorado Avalanche are coming off a big road win in Seattle, which came hours after the unjust penalties against Nathan MacKinnon were rescinded. Speaking of MacKinnon, he's within striking distance of the points lead--just a pair behind Connor McDavid. So that's the first leg of the two-game trip in the books. Next up: Winnipeg. These are not the same Jets, and this shocks me. This team won the Presidents' Trophy last season, but as my mom often says, they "went from sugar to shit" this season.

Justice is a Dish Served Hot!
We Avs fans were still left seething over the injustice that was done to our MVP, Nathan MacKinnon, on Tuesday. Darnell Nurse bowls Mack over towards goalie Connor Ingram, resulting in Ingram's injury. Now, the officials knew that was the case, but what did they do? Gave him five and ten; major penalty, game misconduct, out of the game. The Avs lost because the refs did literally everything in their power to help the Oilers, including unjustly ejecting our MVP.
