The Drive | Hour 2 | 05.26.26

In hour 2 of The Drive, Zach and Phil take a deep dive into the Avalanche as they look to fight off elimination in Game 4 tonight. Have the Avs mirrored the Nuggets in getting out-executed against a lesser team? Do the guys agree with Jared Bednar's decision to bench Scott Wedgewood and go with MacKenzie Blackwood? If the Avalanche lose tonight and get swept, will tonight be Bednar's final game as the Avs head coach? Have the Avs shown they are front-runners, and when times get tough, they aren't built for it? We go one-by-one and point out all the Avs players underachieving in this series. Today's "Three Count" includes the Knicks railroading their way to the NBA Finals and pushing their winning streak to 11 straight, if the Knicks have a chance against whoever wins the Western Conference, and a crazy stat with the most recent 4 teams to represent the East in the NBA Finals. We react to the reports that Nashville could be waiting to hire the Avs' Chris MacFarland as their next GM. Could the Avs lose their general manager to another organization over finances?
