Keeler: Avalanche, Nathan MacKinnon owed apology from NHL after horrible ejection call in loss to Oilers Once Edmonton’s Darnell Nurse has lowered his shoulder and slid into contact, where else was Nathan MacKinnon supposed to go? Other than straight into Connor Ingram?

🤯 Kelly Sutherland, you've done it again! Mr. Magoo could see Darnell Nurse push Nathan MacKinnon into Connor Ingram. So how come the #NHL couldn't? Why the league owes the Colorado Avalanche an apology, via @DPostSports: 🔽

Keeler: If J.K. Dobbins is Broncos’ Plan A, Bo Nix deserves better Plan B than RJ Harvey, Tyler Badie The problem isn’t that the Broncos aren’t good. The problem is that the Kansas City Chiefs used Monday’s legal tampering window to get better.
