Episode Description

Hour 1 of The Drive kicks off with Zach and Phil cross-talking with Dover and Cecil. The guys discuss Cecil's comic book journey as he heads out of town for a convention this weekend, and we debate Jared Bednar's job security with the Avalanche moving forward. Zach and Phil dive into the Broncos and debate if Que Robinson is ready for a bigger role on the defense. Will the Broncos carry extra running backs on the roster with JK Dobbins' history of injury? We react to ESPN listing Payton Watson as a top restricted free agent in the NBA this offseason. Could the Nuggets move on from Cam Johnson and/or Christian Braun to make room to retain Watson? We speculate why the Avalanche are waiting so long to have their end-of-the-season press conference. Zach shares the history of the most recent coaching hires for the Avalanche, and the guys debate if the Avs move on from Bednar, will they once again hire a first-time head coach?
