Spare the wreaths. Hold the psalms. You come to bury Cale Makar, you better come correct. Lordy, the yapping. The peanut gallery on X tapped out 150-character obits, a troll at a time. ESPN spent much of Avalanche-Stars Game 5 speaking of Makar as if he’d retired at age 25. For several hours, the greatest defenseman of his generation — of several, now that you mention it — was getting his mugshot cropped for the 2024 NHL Awards show’s “In Memoriam” segment. Here lies CALE MAKAR’S CAREER, 2018-2024, RIP.

Two of Colorado’s most popular ski resorts are seeking approval from the U. S. Forest Service to build new gondolas out of their base areas, with construction possible during the summer of 2025. Breckenridge wants to build one from the Peak 9 base to an angled mid-station, where a new on-mountain beginner area would be developed, before continuing upward to terminate near the top of the existing A-Chair.

Long before former NFL offensive tackle Bobby Massie was added to the Denver Broncos roster, he and wife, Angel, visited Colorado to enjoy the great outdoors. During football bye weeks, the couple often hired a guide to help them explore the state’s best and unsung fly-fishing waters. While the scenery always wowed them, the guiding services did not.

Instant reaction from the Avalanche’s 5-3 win at Dallas in Game 5 of their second-round Stanley Cup Playoffs series. 1. MacKinnon, Makar come through: What was it Michael Malone reminded us? Never underestimate the heart of a champion — even if that champion is 23 months removed from its last parade.

DALLAS — The Colorado Avalanche desperately needed a bounce, or a break, to keep its season alive. It got both. Cale Makar scored twice, Nathan MacKinnon had a goal and an assist and Colorado staved off elimination Wednesday night at American Airlines Center with a 5-3 victory in Game 5 of this second-round series against the Dallas Stars.
