Avs Stars Whiff on Olympic Gold in Milan
Colorado's core - Nathan MacKinnon, Cale Makar, and Devon Toews - suit up for Canada in the gold medal showdown against a loaded U.S. squad featuring their own teammate Brock Nelson. Makar coughs up a neutral zone turnover that sparks the decisive American rush, while MacKinnon rims an open net in the third that haunts every replay. Nelson carries the family legacy to the top podium, but these Avs stars taste silver heartbreak on a night echoing Lake Placid's miracle 46 years to the day.
