Enough Of The Avalanche Cheerleading

Adrain Dater of the Denver Post answers some email,
After enjoying the Olympic hockey in-depth analysis, I dread returning to the Avalanche’s homeboy cheerleading. Many of my hockey friends and I currently watch Avs games with the sound off because we learn little or nothing from the commentary. Is there any possibility Altitude could move from less “rah-rah” to more “this is how it works” or “here is something that didn’t work?” Thanks.
Good luck with that. Altitude is owned — lock, stock and barrel — by Stan Kroenke, so any kind of critical talk on the Avs or Nuggets or any other team they have a stake in is about as likely as Steve Jobs calling me up tomorrow and offering me a job designing his next big Apple product. So, keep that in mind when you rip on Mike Haynes or Peter McNab. If your livelihood depended on you following orders, would you go against them? How critical are you about your bosses on TV or on the Internet? Hmmm?
That said, I agree with people when they say it’s just a sporting event, and that it’s OK to be critical of a bad play by your own team. A bad play is a bad play. But when something dumb is done by an Avs player, too often it becomes “tough luck” or a “bad break” for them, instead of what it was: a stupid play by an Avs player.
