3-17-26 Hour 1 - Avs smacked by Pens, DROP TOURNEY BEGINS/Laborious Nuggets, Talib calls his shot/76ers in town

0:00 - Well that was no fun! The Avalanche got absolutely SHELLED by the Penguins last night at Ball Arena. Wedgewood got pulled 13 min into the 1st period. Then Blackwood immediately gave up another goal. One of those nights. Postgame, Coach Bednar said the slow start wasn't Wedgie's fault. The team around him was awful.Also, our annual DROP TOURNAMENT IS BACK BABY! Today, let's kick things off with the Vic Region of the bracket.14:48 - This Nuggets season has felt like a SLOG. "Laborious" is the word Vic used. Sometimes, it's been hard to enjoy. Just get us to the playoffs already. Last night's Avs game felt the same way.Also, Aqib Talib went on his podcast and said the Broncos will add a high profile weapon on offense. Book it! That's all he said. Does he actually know something? Who's he hinting at?32:55 - The Embiid-less 76ers are in town tonight. No Embiid? In Denver? Really? I'm shocked! This is a must-win game for the Nuggets. No question.
