TAMPA, Fla. — The Avalanche’s run to the Stanley Cup Final has brought all kinds of Denver-area coaches, executives and athletes to the arena, from Michael Malone and John Elway occupying first-row seats behind the goal to Russell Wilson and Nathaniel Hackett revving up the crowd when shown on the videoboard.
The Avalanche also have fans on the Arkansas men’s basketball coaching staff.
Led by coach Eric Musselman, the staff has spent time during their offseason watching video of the Avalanche, which plays Tampa Bay in Game 3 of the Final on Monday night.
After the Game 1 win last week, Musselman tweeted about the Avalanche and explained why watching Nathan MacKinnon, Cale Makar and Co.
