I’d be lying if I said Jared Bednar was my first choice for head coach of the Colorado Avalanche, but he was my second one! While Dineen’s NHL experience and tutelage under Joel Quenneville would have been nice, Bednar’s work ethic, persistence, and ability to adapt to whichever league he’s in will be a welcome change behind the bench. So far, Bednar has impressed me in preaching an aggressive style in both ends. He has also paid lip service to the use of analytics, which are kind of my jam. Overall, I feel we have many reasons for optimism this season, but that optimism is still tempered with some caution.
