Bednar Bristles After Avalanche Get Swept Out of the Picture

Jared Bednar is not sugarcoating anything after watching the Avalanche get pushed all the way into a sweep. His message is blunt, and in a playoff room that kind of honesty usually lands harder than a whiteboard lecture. Losing four straight is the sort of collapse that lingers in June conversations, not just in the handshake line. The frustration is obvious, and the bigger question is how Colorado turns that sting into something useful instead of letting it sit in the building.
