The Avalanche weren't too happy with the hit from Vince Dunn, but their bench boss didn't have any issues with his team's effort on Thursday. Avalanche Locker Room: Cogliano, Bednar Discuss ‘Check From Behind’ From Dunn https://t.co/qoP11mhoEC
Jared Bednar said he though the Avalanche should've gotten a power play for the Vince Dunn hit on Andrew Cogliano, and he didn't think Bowen Byram should've gotten an instigator. He said he only saw the Oleksiak-Lehkonen collision once, but he didn't think it was a penalty.
Cogliano said the hit he took from Vince Dunn was too early for his liking. Bednar chimes in: "It was a check from behind. ... You can't check a guy from behind."
Vince Dunn drilled Andrew Cogliano between the numbers along the boards. #Avs certainly did not like that, especially considering what happened in April. Bo Byram immediately went over and dropped the gloves. Byram gets four min for roughing. Dunn gets two. Avs on the PK.
Bowen Byram didn't like a Vince Dunn hitting Andrew Cogliano into the boards, so he dropped the gloves. Dunn took him to the ground pretty quickly, but the crowd is alive after the fight.
Andrew Cogliano just went down the tunnel. He collided with a teammate not far from the #Avs bench.
Andrew Cogliano is heading down to the room. Didn't see exactly what happened (puck was on the other end of the ice), but it appeared he might have collided with a teammate.
I didn't see what happened but Cogliano just went down on the ice. Got up and went right down the tunnel
Andrew Cogliano just collided with his own teammate, and has gone straight down the tunnel.
