Colorado Avalanche: When Should Bednar Face Firing?
The Colorado Avalanche owe it to the young core and to the fan base to keep Jared Bednar on a short leash next season.
Colorado Avalanche head coach Jared Bednar is not a winner in the NHL.
That is a fact. Bednar has only ever done one thing in the NHL, and that is coach the Colorado Avalanche last season. The Avalanche went 22-56-48 last year, dead last in the NHL and the worst season in the salary cap era.
You can debate why the Avalanche had such a bad season. Many fans give Bednar a pass, essentially saying he had to play the hand he was dealt. However, that doesn’t change the fact that his only professional NHL experience is a losing season of coaching.
