Avalanche Room: Georgiev, Bednar Discuss MacKinnon’s Streak, Controversial Goal

The Colorado Avalanche are probably going to put in a request for the league to review if Nathan MacKinnon deserves an assist on Colorado’s game-tying goal, but they don’t expect it to change.

It appears the streak has officially come to an end.

After the 3-2 loss to the Rangers, Alexandar Georgiev discussed another tight contest between the two teams, and gave his thoughts on MacKinnon‘s streak, pointing out what we all know – the Avalanche superstar cares more about winning than scoring points. Jared Bednar also discussed the streak, as well as what he saw on the second Rangers goal that led to him challenging it.

Take a look at what Georgiev and Makar had to say, and read Bednar’s thoughts after a second straight loss from the Avalanche.

“Super impressive. Incredible player. It’s hard to get a 10-game point streak, and he’s been scoring every game. Great for him, and I’m sure he was more concerned about us winning and making the playoffs. He was not cheating at any point of the game. He was playing smart hockey, playing defense. Big respect.”

Bednar on the matchup between the Rangers and the Avalanche:

“It was a good hockey game. You know my thoughts on the shootout. Once it goes to a shootout, you might as well flip a coin.”

Bednar on the game from his Avalanche:

“It was a tight checking hockey game. Hard to create offense, I thought. First period, not a lot going on for either team because of the checking. Second period, we gave up a couple good chances, we got a couple good chances. It was tight, tight checking hockey game, and we had our chances to win it in overtime. We didn’t capitalize, and their goalie made some saves..I have no problem with the way we played.”
