On a Wednesday night when we were all supposed to stand up and cheer for Avalanche coach Jared Bednar and his well-deserved contract extension, the Pittsburgh Penguins and Sidney Crosby gave Colorado a face wash during a 5-2 loss at Ball Arena with way too many rowdy Yinzers in the building chanting “Let’s go Pens!”

“It was a big moment for our team, right?” said Bednar, who stressed to his players in the dressing room prior to taking the ice that this game meant more than the average regular-season tilt.
