The Avalanche Continue Making Moves For Second Straight Day

March 08, 2024 05:00 - 31 minutes - 28.9 MB

Avs Start Day With Two Big Trades. End the Day With A Victory vs Detroit

March 07, 2024 06:53 - 35 minutes - 32.4 MB

What a day that was. The Colorado Avalanche threw their hat into the trade season with two big deals. One brought defenseman Sean Walker in from the Philadelphia Flyers while sending a first round pick and Ryan Johansen to Philly. That deal immediately had people thinking something else was brewing, and we didn't have to wait too long to realize it was. Bowen Byram was sent to the Buffalo Sabres for Casey Mittelstadt. We have thoughts. Oh! And the Avs played a game as well against the Det...

QUICK TRADE REACTION: Colorado Avalanche pick up Sean Walker & Casey Mittlestadt in separate deals with Flyers & Sabres

March 06, 2024 22:05 - 8 minutes - 8.19 MB

The Colorado Avalanche have traded for defenseman Sean Walker and forward Casey Mittlestadt in a pair of separate deals with the Philadelphia Flyers and the Buffalo Sabres, sending a first-round pick and Ryan Johansen to Philly, and Bowen Byram to Buffalo. Chris Micieli of Locked On Avalanche joins Gil Martin of Locked On NHL to break down the deals from the Avs point of view. 

The Trade Deadline is Fast Approaching. Possible Names We Like to Join the Colorado Avalanche

March 06, 2024 05:00 - 55 minutes - 51 MB

Trade season requires a bigger episode, and that is what we have on tap today. We look at potential players available in all three positions and discuss if we like them, if we think they could fit on the Colorado Avalanche, and who would could possibly be on the way out in Colorado.

Justus Annunen Blanks Blackhawks...Again. Nathan MacKinnon Continues His Home Scoring Streak

March 05, 2024 06:04 - 32 minutes - 29.5 MB

The Colorado Avalanche took care of business again against the Chicago Blackhawks, which doesn't sound very difficult, but when you have an inexperienced and young goalie who shut them out two straight games, that means something. Justus Annunen is making a case for the Avalanche backup goalie position with his last three starts, and you could argue the case is closed at this point. Two shutouts and another very good showing against the Detroit Red Wings, how can the Avs not be happy? Will h...

Avs Look Uninspired in Loss to Nashville. The "Makar Needs Rest" Talk. Kerfoot Reunion Coming?

March 04, 2024 05:00 - 33 minutes - 30.8 MB

The Colorado Avalanche followed up two very well played games against the Dallas Stars and Chicago Blackhawks with a dud against the Nashville Predators. Optimists will say the game wasn't decided until the 3rd period, but were any of us really happy with how the game was going through the first two periods? We sure were not. This has been the season for the Avs. The good, the bad and the ugly. Hopefully, another matchup with the Blackhawks on Monday will get the team a relatively easy two p...

Avalanche Put Out the Stars 5-1. Did Cale Makar Claim An Unbreakable Record?

February 28, 2024 06:20 - 33 minutes - 30.3 MB

If the Colorado Avalanche benefitted from the Dallas Stars playing the second game of a back to back, they won't care. This was a game they needed and they played like it. The Avs scored five unanswered and beat the Dallas Stars again this season, this time by a score of 5-1. In the process, Cale Makar got his 307th career point, which sets a new franchise record. One has to ask, with Makar being only 25 years old and already holding this record, if he were to play his entire (or the vast ma...

Val Nichushkin Returns to Practice. Avalanche Have a Huge Matchup vs Dallas

February 27, 2024 05:00 - 32 minutes - 29.6 MB

Valeri Nichushkin is back with the Colorado Avalanche, at least at practice for now. Head coach Jared Bednar did state that he likely will not play this week, but also did not give an exact date or game he could potentially return. Regardless, just having him back at practice is what everyone was happy to see. It would have been perfect if Nuke could have returned Tuesday night to square off against the team that didn't want him in the Dallas Stars. The Avalanche will have to once again brin...

Is Frustration Setting in for the Colorado Avalanche? How This Week Can Set a Tone For March

February 26, 2024 17:10 - 31 minutes - 28.5 MB

While it was a hard fought and well played game, the Colorado Avalanche came out the loser on Saturday against the Toronto Maple Leafs. It was a game of almost chances, and those almosts are costing the Avs, along with ill times penalties and questionable defensive slides into the goalie. But while the month of February is one to forget, the week of games that are ahead for the Avalanche can set the tone for the month of March. And it all starts with the Dallas Stars.

Justus Annunen Puts Up Strong Effort, But Avs Road Struggles Continue in OT Loss to Red Wings, 2-1

February 23, 2024 05:00 - 36 minutes - 33.4 MB

We can't say just yet if Justus Annunen is the answer for the Colorado Avalanche and their backup goalie problem, but if he keeps playing like this that will answer itself. Annunen played an excellent game against the Detroit Red Wings, but the Avalanche couldn't get him the victory as they fell in OT and on the road yet again. While an enjoyable game to watch, and although we are years beyond the blood feud years between these two teams, there is always still a little sting when losing to...

Avalanche Come Out On Top of Gritty Win Over Canucks, 3-1. Johansen Pitches in With TWO Goals!

February 21, 2024 06:07 - 35 minutes - 32.9 MB

The Colorado Avalanche and Vancouver Canucks gave us what we wanted. A gritty matchup that could have gone either way. In the end, it was Ryan Johansen with two, yes TWO goals along with stellar goaltending by Alexandar Georgiev that put the Avs on top 3-1. Nathan MacKinnon notched an assist to Artturi Lehkonen on a last second empty netter to extend his home point streak as well. We break it all down! Tune in, subscribe and enjoy!

Does the Vancouver Meltdown in Minnesota Change the Matchup With the Avalanche?

February 20, 2024 05:00 - 31 minutes - 29.1 MB

We had the Vancouver Canucks vs Colorado Avalanche circled on our calendars for some time now. But we didn't plan for what happened the day before in Minnesota. The Canucks allowed the Minnesota Wild to score seven goals in the 3rd period, ending with a Wild 10-7 win. Now, not only does Vancouver come to Denver one day later, but they are also losers of their last two games. We knew the Avalanche would have to be up and ready to face the Canucks, now they REALLY have to be up and ready. We...

Avalanche Get Much Needed Win, 4-3 Over Arizona. MacKinnon Keeps Home Point Streak Alive

February 19, 2024 05:00 - 36 minutes - 33.6 MB

The Colorado Avalanche got back on home ice and got back in the win column with a 4-3 win over the Arizona Coyotes, but it did not come easy. A back-and-forth game, one with plenty of penalties as well as challenges, was up in the air right up until the final buzzer. But the Avs held firm once taking a lead in the 3rd.

The Avalanche End Dreadful Road Trip With a 6-3 Loss to Tampa Bay

February 16, 2024 05:00 - 32 minutes - 30 MB

12 points were available during the Colorado Avalanche six game road trip following the All-Star Weekend. They were able to collect three. The final matchup was against the Tampa Bat Lightning, and honestly, for two periods this was a fun game to watch. A lot of back and forth, some good action and a playoff like atmosphere. The Avalanche even had the lead in the 3rd period....for about 13 seconds. Then it all went downhill from there. We break it all down on today's episode. Tune in, subs...

MacKinnon and the Colorado Avalanche Set to Square off vs Kucherov and the Tampa Bay Lightning

February 15, 2024 05:00 - 41 minutes - 38 MB

The Colorado Avalanche and Tampa Bay Lightning still have some animosity towards one another ever since the Avs clinched the Stanley Cup on the Lightning ice back in 2022. So whenever these two teams meet up since then, it's always entertaining. For the Avalanche, they just want to get two points and end this terrible road trip with a win. For the Lightning, they have found themselves in a playoff spot battle and need the points just the same. Then there is the Hart Trophy angle, where the...

Artturi Lehkonen's 4-Point Night Helps Avalanche End Losing Skid, Beat Capitals, 6-3

February 14, 2024 05:00 - 33 minutes - 31 MB

It wasn't all pretty, but it wasn't all ugly either. Maybe the Washington Capitals were the right team at the right time for the Colorado Avalanche to square off against to end their four game losing streak, which they did with a 6-3 victory in the nation's Capital. Artturi Lehkonen led the way with a 2 goal, 2 assist night including one beautiful between the legs set up for Mikko Rantanen. In fact, the Avs got point productions up and down the forward lines in this one. Something that has ...

Avs Get Down Early Against The Wrong Team, Lose 5-2 to Hurricanes.

February 09, 2024 05:00 - 39 minutes

Sure the Colorado Avalanche are the best team in the league at comeback victories. But some opponents make it much more difficult to accomplish that feat. The Carolina Hurricanes are one of those teams. A natural hat trick in the first period by Martin Necas was all the Hurricanes needed for a 5-2 win over the Avs, who didn't help themselves by going 0 for 6 on the power play where they could generate nothing. It was frustrating to watch the Avalanche continue to try doing what they normall...

Avalanche Left Out of the Winter Classic...Again

February 08, 2024 05:00 - 35 minutes - 33 MB

The Colorado Avalanche have continued to be one of the dominant teams for the past several years. They have a handful of players on the team you would categorize as "superstars". They won a Stanley Cup just two seasons ago. But when it comes to one of the premiere events of the NHL season in the Winter Classic, the Avalanche were once again not granted a spot at the table. The league announced that we will get a game we already have seen for the Classic next year between the Chicago Blackha...

Avs Battle Back But Give Up Late Goal in 5-3 Loss to Devils

February 07, 2024 05:00 - 34 minutes - 32 MB

So far the road trip has been not what the Colorado Avalanche have wanted in terms of outcomes. The Avs haven't looked terrible in both games of the back to back against the New York Rangers or the New Jersey Devils, but they haven't been good enough to come away with more than a single OT point so far. The Devils made life difficult for Colorado. Not giving them time and space, getting into shooting lanes and just being all around disruptive. But despite that, the Avs managed two goals in ...

Makar and MacKinnon Show Off Their Skills. NHL Players Back in the Olympics!

February 05, 2024 05:00 - 31 minutes - 29.1 MB

It's All-Star Weekend......cool. The NHL put on an all new skills tournament and honestly, it wasn't half bad. Of course, Connor McDavid won the thing along with the $1 million prize, but up until he ran in the obstacle course, Cale Makar was in the lead to win it. A Colorado Avalanche player might not have won it all, but they did win a couple of the events. Nathan MacKinnon won the one-timer event while Cale Makar won the hardest shot, clocking a slapper at over 102mph. All in all, pre...

MacKinnon Goes With Some Familiar Faces For His All-Star Team. Finishing Up Our Mid-Season Grades

February 02, 2024 05:00 - 39 minutes - 36.2 MB

It was fantasy draft night for the NHL All-Star Game while Nathan MacKinnon and Cale Makar were joined by singer Tate McRae to make the selections for his roster. We got some familiar faces added to the squad. To almost nobody's surprise, MacKinnon picked his buddy Sidney Crosby with his first pick, then Avalanche goalie Alexandar Georgiev and division foe Kirill Kaprizov of the Minnesota Wild. The draft itself had some good moments, but in typical NHL fashion, some uncomfortable ones as w...

Lindholm Deal Too Rich For Avs. The Athletic Anonymous Player Poll. Who We Like in the Skills Comp

February 01, 2024 05:00 - 35 minutes - 32.3 MB

The big trade fish is off the market. The Calgary Flames traded Elias Lindholm to the Vancouver Canucks late Wednesday evening and boy was it a lot for a potential rental. Andrei Kuzmenko, two prospects, a first and fourth round picks in the 2024 draft go to Calgary and the talented forward goes to Vancouver to make that team even more dangerous if Lindholm can get back on track. For the Colorado Avalanche, that haul was something they likely were not going anywhere near. We discuss why. ...

MacKinnon Tops McDavid in TSN Top 25 List

January 31, 2024 05:00 - 34 minutes - 31.7 MB

Us Colorado Avalanche fans know the greatness of Nathan MacKinnon. Sometimes we get a little upset and frustrated when the rest of the hockey world doesn't recognize him as much as we do. But yesterday something happened for the first time in seven years. TSN released their midseason Top 25 list, and for the first time since 2017, Connor McDavid is not at the top of that list. Nathan MacKinnon moved above him. We discuss why this is a pretty big deal. We also dive into the February schedul...

Media Mock Drafts Make Us Chuckle. More Mid-Season Grades

January 30, 2024 05:00 - 38 minutes - 35.1 MB

We know making an NHL trade is not an easy thing to do. Predicting them is even more difficult. We are currently in the season of media outlets attempting to do that very thing, and while we respect and appreciate the effort when making these mock trades, sometimes they really make you wonder. We discuss two mock trades involving the Avalanche. Both we would say no to, but one in particular we would say no to while laughing our heads off. We also get to four more midseason grades including...

Avs Head Into Break Hitting Their Stride. Who Do We Want on Team MacKinnon? Mid-Season Grades

January 29, 2024 05:00 - 34 minutes - 31.5 MB

The Colorado Avalanche ended the first half of their season with a convincing 5-1 win over the Los Angeles Kings. Things have been rolling recently for the Avs, and now they have to wait over a week to play again. Why? Because of the All-Star Game. Which almost everyone pans. But since we have three Avalanche players, we will pay attention. But who those Avalanche players will play with is still up in the air. Nathan MacKinnon is a team captain and will be drafting his team from the pool of...

Could the Parise to Avs Move Really Happen? Norris Rankings. The Athletic Cup Odds for 2028

January 26, 2024 05:00 - 36 minutes - 33.8 MB

Yesterday we touched on the rumors swirling that Zach Parise is set to sign with a new NHL team, and that team is likely the Colorado Avalanche. We were skeptical about the story, but today there is a reason why it could be a reality. Last week, the Network did a Power Ranking for the Hart Trophy which had Nathan MacKinnon at the top of the list. This week the Network did the Norris Trophy. Is Cale Makar at the top of this one as well? Finally, The Athletic did a look into the crystal ball...

Nathan MacKinnon Lifts Avalanche to a 6-2 Win With Another Four Goal, Five Point Night

Nathan MacKinnon is starting to pour the mixture of what will soon become the concrete that will cement his eventual Hart Trophy at the end of this season. Five points, four goals and a natural hat trick was the stat line for the Colorado Avalanche superstar, and it seemed like if he wanted to he could have had more. The best player on the planet couldn't be stopped against the Washington Capitals, and some of his teammates joined in on the action as well. Not to be outdone, Mikko Rantanen...

Are There Any Former Avs Still Playing We Would Welcome Back? Goodbye Sports Illustrated?

January 24, 2024 05:00 - 34 minutes - 31.9 MB

For the most part, when a player leaves a team, they almost never return. Sure you'll get a player returning in the twilight of his career for one last season or those infamous "one day contracts", but a player leaving a team only to come back a couple years later is pretty rare. But what former Avalanche players who are currently still in the league with other teams would we welcome back. Whether it's because he could be useful or we just simply loved having him as part of the Avalanche. ...

As Lehkonen and Byram Get Set To Return, Lines and Roster Decisions Need to Be Made

January 23, 2024 05:00 - 39 minutes - 36 MB

The Colorado Avalanche are getting ready to welcome back two very big pieces of their roster with Artturi Lehkonen and Bowen Byram. Both have been out with injuries, Lehkonen much longer than Byram, but the question is now what will the forward lines look like, and who is the odd d-man out? We take a look at the possibilities. We also talk about the names that are associated with the Avs when it comes to the trade market. Would Marc-Andre Fleury ok a deal to the Avs? Do they address the 2C ...

MacKinnon's Classy Move Highlights Avalanche 7-4 Win to Wrap Up Road Trip in Philadelphia

January 22, 2024 05:00 - 34 minutes - 32 MB

The final score might read like it wasn't a very competitive game, but in typical 2023.2024 Colorado Avalanche fashion, they didn't make things easy for themselves. Up 5-2, the Avalanche again struggled defensively and in goal to let the Philadelphia Flyers back into the game, pulling to within one goal at 5-4. But an untimely penalty on the Flyers gave the Avs a power play goal, followed by Nathan MacKinnon sliding the puck to Logan O'Connor for an empty netter and his first career hat tri...

Avs Get Down Early, Can't Recover vs Bruins

January 19, 2024 05:00 - 35 minutes - 32.2 MB

Sure, it's fun to watch your team consistently come from behind. But only when they are winning those games. Too often, the Colorado Avalanche are finding themselves playing from behind, and there will be times they cannot overcome the deficit. Thursday night in Boston was one of those nights. The Avs let in the first goal of the game on the first shift of the game. Usually, not a big deal. And for a period (the 2nd) the Avs looked like they were trending in the right direction heading into...

Another Deficit Overcome. Avalanche Rattle Off 5 Straight Goals to Beat Ottawa, 7-4

January 17, 2024 05:00 - 36 minutes - 33.6 MB

The Colorado Avalanche seem to like this comeback way of playing. Once again, the Avs found themselves down. This time it was 4-2 to the Ottawa Senators. But the one thing the Sens are known for is giving up goals. And one thing the Colorado Avalanche are known for is scoring them, and that's exactly what they did. The Avs rattled off five straight to take a commanding 7-4 victory and salvage the 2nd game of a back to back. One day after the Avs depth lines did next to nothing in Montreal,...

Avalanche Let Canadiens Hang Around and Pay the Price. Nichushkin Enters Assistance Program

January 16, 2024 05:00 - 32 minutes - 30 MB

The Colorado Avalanche came back down to earth a little bit Monday night in a 4-3 loss to the Montreal Canadiens. It's not that the Avs played a poor game, they just didn't capitalize on enough grade A chances, while letting the Canadiens do just the opposite. It was a puck nobody seemed to locate that ended up in the back of the net for Montreal that was the game winner. But the Avalanche can't dwell for too long as they are back at it Tuesday night against the Ottawa Senators. We also s...

Avalanche Score Five Unanswered to Beat Toronto, 5-3. Two More Avs Named All-Stars

January 15, 2024 03:58 - 32 minutes - 30.1 MB

This whole spotting the other team multiple goals, only to come back and win the game thing might not be what the Colorado Avalanche coaching staff likes, but it makes for some entertaining hockey! This time, the Avs gave up three 1st period goals to the Toronto Maple Leafs. But again, the Avs had a lot of game left to mount their comeback, which they did epically while scoring the next five goals en route to a 5-3 win. Nathan MacKinnon, not surprisingly, netted the game winning goal on a ...

Gabriel Landeskog Skates! Avs Are Ready For the Road

January 12, 2024 05:00 - 33 minutes - 30.5 MB

The Colorado Avalanche are prepping for a five game road trip starting Saturday in Toronto, but before they left they were joined out on the ice by their captain, Gabriel Landeskog. Not in shorts and sandals either. Landeskog took the ice in full gear and started some very light skating around the ice for the first time in almost a year. The road to return is still a way down the road, but if you are an Avs fan, it was impossible to not have a smile painted on your face seeing the video and ...

How Can the NHL Be OK With This All-Star Game System? Is Trevor Zegras on the Market?

On today's episode of Locked on Avalanche, we dive into our Morning Leftovers from the matchup between the Colorado Avalanche and Boston Bruins. Some good news coming out of the Avs camp with Artturi Lehkonen making the road trip with the team. No set date on when he will return, but it's a positive sign if he is joining the team for the road games ahead. We also discuss this ridiculous rule the NHL has that every team in the league must be represented in the All-Star Game. What this does ...

Avalanche Outlast Bruins With 4-3 Shootout Win. Does the New Nylander Deal Mean Anything for Mikko?

January 09, 2024 06:33 - 38 minutes - 34.9 MB

A back and forth game between two of the best teams in the league needed a shootout to decide a winner, and for this game the Colorado Avalanche took the extra point. Valeri Nichushkin netted the lone shootout goal to send the Boston Bruins home with the loss. In other league news, the Toronto Maple Leafs signed another player to another massive contract. This one going to William Nylander to the tune of 8 years at $11.5 AAV. This has a lot of people talking about what the Avalanche will do...

Goalie Issues Persist in Avs Loss to Florida. What Happens Next?

January 08, 2024 05:00 - 34 minutes - 31.4 MB

The Colorado Avalanche seem to be leveling out in 2 out of the 3 positions on the ice. The team's forwards and offense are on a roll, the defense is starting to put things together more, but where the Avalanche are failing is at the goalie position. That was on display over the weekend when the Avalanche surrendered eight goals (two ENG's) to the Florida Panthers. So while the goalie position needs to improve, the question is what changes do the Avalanche need to do to help the issues? All...

Another MacKinnon OT Winner! Avs Rally To Beat Dallas in OT, 5-4

January 05, 2024 05:10 - 32 minutes - 29.4 MB

Stop me if you have heard this one within the last 48 hours. Nathan MacKinnon scores in OT to lead the Colorado Avalanche to a 5-4 victory! He did it again. This time against division rival Dallas Stars. This was a hockey game people love to see. Two heavyweights going toe to toe. The Avs were knocked down a few times by the Stars. But they got back up and kept fighting. That fight in them led them to a last minute goal with the goalie pulled to send it into OT, then Nathan MacKinnon does ...

How Much Are the Avalanche Really in on Lindholm? A Big Matchup With the Stars

January 04, 2024 05:00 - 34 minutes - 31.2 MB

Another year, another big fish of the trade market linked to the Colorado Avalanche. This year that name is Elias Lindholm of the Calgary Flames. Lindholm is going to be moved. Where he will be moved to is what has everyone guessing. The Avs are linked to him and very likely have interest. The most recent rumor was the Avalanche needing to pony up a 1st round pick and Bowen Byram to make a deal happen. Why we feel like this will be another year the Avs don't land the big name. We also disc...

Nathan MacKinnon is not of this earth. The Colorado Avalanche superstar continued his hot play Tuesday night against the New York Islanders, and they needed every bit of it as the Avs found themselves down at different times of the game due to early struggles from goalie Alexandar Georgiev. Georgiev would settle down and the Avalanche would play their game, eventually sending the game into OT where MacKinnon fired and absolute missile past Islanders goalie Sorokin for the win.

We also discuss what we want to see from the Avs once the calendar flips to 2024. It's been a ride so far this season for the Avs. Despite them being at the top of the Central Division, the losses are sticking out. How is GM Chris MacFarland viewing this season so far?

What is going on with this year's version of the Colorado Avalanche? It continues to be one or the other. A great looking win, or a horrible looking loss. Wednesday night in Arizona was a horrible looking loss. But it didn't always look that way. The Avalanche seemed to pick up where they left off before the Christmas break. Then it all fell apart.
