Game 4 debate: Who should Avalanche coach Jared Bednar start in goal — and who will he start?

Question: After benching Darcy Kuemper midway through Game 3’s blowout loss, who should Avalanche coach Jared Bednar turn to between the pipes in Game 4: Kuemper or Pavel Francouz?

Ryan O’Halloran, sports reporter: Hey Kiz, I heard you and Patrick Roy had a ton of good conversations back in the day. Do you have his phone number to ask him to put on the goal pads for Game 4? The Avs have made it this far (two wins from the Cup) by combining a dynamic offense with just-fine goaltending. But Darcy Kuemper wasn’t fine in Game 3, getting yanked after allowing five goals.
