Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:50:37 GMT

Physicality as a style of play is said to go further in the NHL playoffs, and the Avs don’t have a surplus of big bodies who fit that mold.So it comes as a massive relief to Jared Bednar and his team that defenseman Josh Manson will be ready to return from a lower-body injury in Game 1 of the first round.Manson won’t play in the Avalanche’s final two games before the playoffs, meaning his regular season is over with 27 games played. The first time he plays since March 1 will be playoff action. He said there were “definitely points” that he was concerned he wouldn’t be able to return this year.“I’d be lying if I said those thoughts didn’t come through my mind,” Manson said Thursday before the Avs’ home game vs. Winnipeg.Manson’s return, if it is coupled with Cale Makar’s, will mark the healthiest and deepest Colorado’s blue line has been all season.

Karla Garcia remembers the first time her son came rushing in to tell her about the water.After moving two years ago to Apple Tree Park, a mobile home community tucked beside the Colorado River in New Castle, Garcia and her two kids quickly noticed the rust-colored water flowing through her taps.The water, she said, stains her clothes, her shower and her drinking glasses. Sometimes it smells like eggs.As a result, the 37-year-old single mother is forced every month to buy gallons of water for cooking and drinking. Meanwhile, her children say the water quality makes them want to move back to Mexico.“I don’t know how to explain to my kiddos how we’re living in the most powerful country in the world and we have to shower with this brown water,” Garcia said.Her family, though, is hardly alone.Mobile home park residents across Colorado — and the rest of the nation — have consistently ranked water quality issues as one of the enduring problems in Americ...
