Scott Wedgewood, Not A Vezina Finalist, Is the Latest Avs Player to Get Snubbed For a League Award

Colorado Avalanche fans voice outrage as Scott Wedgewood is snubbed for the Vezina Trophy despite league-leading numbers. Should elite team defense penalize goalies, or is the NHL media simply favoring familiar names? Chris Micieli and Zach Pearson offer a fiery breakdown of Wedgewood’s historic season, the merits of his overlooked stats, and question if the Avalanche’s overall strength is hurting individual award chances for stars like Nathan MacKinnon and Cale Makar.   The conversation shifts to NHL playoff intensity as Jamie Benn escapes suspension for a blatant cross-check, sparking debate on league discipline and double standards after past suspensions for Nazem Kadri and Makar. Plus, The Hockey News Top 100 players list is revealed—find out which Avalanche stars moved up, slid down, or got their due at last. Can Colorado’s standouts break through media biases and claim their hardware, or will the snubs keep coming?   Everydayer Club: If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
