Cale Makar breaks Avalanche franchise records this season

denverpost.com

Cale Makar, a star defenseman for the Colorado Avalanche, is having an impressive season. With two goals and six points this past week, he has reached a total of 26 goals and 81 points this season. At just 26 years old, he is already breaking franchise records and is on track to break his own. Currently, the record for most goals by an Avalanche defenseman in a single season is 28, and the record for points is 90. Makar already holds both records. If he continues playing as he has, there are 12 games left in the regular season, and he could finish with 30 goals and 95 points. This achievement would be significant, as only a few defensemen in NHL history have scored 30 or more goals in a season. In other sports news, the University of Denver hockey team is performing well in the NCHC quarterfinals and has advanced to the Frozen Faceoff finals. Meanwhile, the men’s basketball team has faced issues with their head coach, resulting in uncertainty and confusion about their season. In entertainment, commercials featuring former University of Colorado athletes Travis Hunter and Lauren Betts have gained attention during March Madness. However, not all commercials are well-received, as some, like the GEICO pig ad, are seen as overdone and annoying.
