The Drive | Hour 3 | 04.02.26

In hour 3 of The Drive, Zach and Phil react to the crazy game at Ball Arena last night between the Avalanche and Canucks. How concerning was Mackenzie Blackwood's performance, allowing 6 goals before getting pulled? How tough of a situation are the Avs in going forward after already have given Blackwood a huge contract? Has Jamal Murray answered all the criticism with having the best season of his career this year? Does Murray deserve to be on an All-NBA team this year? We preview the Rockies home opener tomorrow as they host the Phillies. What has been the biggest surprise one week into the Rockies season? How long will the Rockies stay competitive and how long will their pitching continue to give the team a chance to win games? We breakdown all the Broncos 1-possesion wins from last season and question if they will have the same amount of "luck" in 2026. We hear from Sean Payton and his thoughts on how those close games can give the guys more confidence going forward.
