The Drive | Hour 4 | 05.21.26

In hour 4 of The Drive, Zach and Phil take a deep dive into the Avalanche as they fell in Game 1 of the Western Conference Final. Zach shares the numbers on teams that go on to win a series this postseason when they win game 1, and the guys discuss what a Cale Makar would mean for the Avs. Will Scott Wedgewood play better in Game 2 than what we saw in Game 1? Are we in store for a seven-game series now? Who needs to step up the most from the Avalanche going forward? Did the temperature in Ball Arena impact the game and the condition of the ice? We reach out to the text line and the YouTube chat and gauge their feelings about the Avalanche falling behind 0-1 in the series and what their panic level is. We hear from both the Avs and the Knights' head coaches after the game, and where both teams go from here. We wrap up the show with DenverSports.com's Aniello Piro joining the show to discuss the Avs and how they looked after the long rest from the last series to this series.
