The Colorado Avalanche found their scapegoat as it was revealed at the start of the Chris MacFarland and Joe Sakic press conference that assistant coach Ray Bennett was let go. No discussion on who or what they are looking for in a replacement behind the bench nor a timeline for replacement. It will be a significant change as Bennett has been with the organization since 2017.
Joe Sakic to Avs media members:
“We’re hoping that a change of voice might help our powerplay next year.”
“Listen if you got Cale Makar (and) Nathan MacKinnon your window is open”#GoAvsGo | @MileHighHockey— Adrian Hernandez (@AdoHernandez27) May 6, 2025The power play was a sore spot for a lot of reasons but scoring just three goals in 22 chances wasn’t getting the job done.
