The name of the Broncos training camp you need to know? Call him Albert O

Talk about a quick turnaround time.

On Friday, the Colorado Avalanche woke up to the belief that their next Stanley Cup playoff game was not until Tuesday, at the earliest. By lunchtime, the Avs learned they were playing in just over 24 hours, so NBC didn’t have to show reruns of Seinfeld to its prime-time audience.

Ah, the power of television.

Considering how good the Avs are playing right now, that’s probably a good thing for Colorado. Let’s just hope they have enough time to clean up the chalk outline of Arizona goalie Darcy Kuemper before the puck falls at Rogers Place in Edmonton.

Albert Okwuegbunam – A

One thing we need to get rid of right off the bat:

It is fair and proper to refer to the Broncos’ tight new end as “Albert O”. It’s a name he knows and loves. And, frankly, it’s a lot easier for some of us dummies to spell.

Now for the most important part: With no pre-season games and a reduced training camp schedule, Mizzou’s rookie is making the most of his opportunities early on in Dove Valley. Injuries to Austin Fort and free agent signing Nick Vannett gave Okwuegbunam an opening in the first week of camp, and he erupted head-on.

A regular on the plus side of the ledger at Broncos broke reports from writer Ryan O’Halloran’s training camp, the 6-foot-5, 258-pound tight end was seen running clean routes, soaring in the air for jump landings and catch passes in the final zone.

While his race blocking skills remain a mystery, we know it well: he gave coach Vic Fangio something to think about as Week 1 approaches.

Defensive effort of the Nuggets – D-

For three straight games, the Utah Jazz got everything they wanted against the Nuggets.

Donovan Mitchell drives to the bucket? Sure. Rudy Gobert, thunderous two-handed dunks? Yep. Eyes open from the 3-point line? With frequency.

Gary Harris and Will Barton can’t come back soon enough.

Unfortunately, the latter has already left the Orlando bubble on Wednesday to rehabilitate a nagging knee injury – signaling an extended absence. This just happens to be the day Denver submitted the first of two defensive stink bombs.

Coincidence? Perhaps.

For the record: the only reason it’s not an “F” is the efforts of Jerami Grant and Jamal Murray, who seem to at least care that the Nuggets get their butt kicked on Friday afternoon.

Nolan Arenado – C +

After an offseason in which Arenado may have pushed Rocky Mountain management to be traded for a winner, the all-star third baseman falls into the clutch for Colorado.
