CROSSOVER EVENT: Seth Toupal of Locked on Wild Joins The Show!

February 10, 2022 08:00 - 33 minutes - 30.9 MB

With the second half of the season set to kick off tonight, what's a better time than now to check in with our favorite rivals in the Minnesota Wild? Host Seth Toupal joins to discuss everything going on with the Wild. From why he stayed away from the Winter Classic game, to if they are riding Talbot too hard, to why they are a real contender to nab Claude Giroux from the Philadelphia Flyers. Do the Wild have a wild card in their pocket when it comes to a deal for the veteran? It's something...

Fun Awards! Kadri For the Lady Byng? MacDermid Gets The Messier Award? What's the Blink 182 Award?

February 08, 2022 08:00 - 34 minutes - 31.5 MB

The Colorado Avalanche and outdoor games have not gone hand in hand. Out of the three outdoor games the Avs have taken part in, they have lost two and the one they did win took over 12 hours to complete. With the league announcing the Winter Classic game will take part at Fenway Park in Boston and making up for the lost Stadium Series game in Carolina, do the Avs have a chance to play in either of these games? We also have some fun with awards as we hand out not only actual NHL awards, but ...

Avs at the All-Star Weekend. Forwards Halfway Point Grades

February 07, 2022 08:00 - 39 minutes - 36.6 MB

The All-Star weekend festivities are, thankfully, over. The Avalanche were well represented in Vegas with Nazem Kadri and Cale Makar taking part, as well as Jared Bednar coaching the Central for the game. Chris and Kyle talk about the weekend and if it won either of them over for future All-Star weekends (spoiler: it didn't) We also finish up our mid season grades as we hand out letters for the forwards.

Makar and Kadri Taking Part in All-Star Festivities. First Half Grades: Defensemen and Goalies

February 04, 2022 08:00 - 33 minutes - 30.4 MB

Cale Makar and Nazem Kadri will of course take part in the playing of the NHL All-Star Game. In addition, they will take part in some of the events that occur the day prior to the game. Makar will pit himself against the likes of the fastest in the league in the speed competition, while Kadri will take part in a new event where players try to get their best hand of blackjack. I can't make that up. We also take a look at the first half of the season and hand out grades to the defensemen and ...

First Half Memories: Makar's OT Winner. Too Many In Nashville. Comeback Victories. Kadri Killing It.

February 03, 2022 08:00 - 32 minutes - 29.7 MB

As we hit the halfway point of the season it's always good to look back at where we were and where we are now. For the Avalanche, so much has happened since game 1 against Chicago.

Avs Home Win Streak Comes to an End With Shoot Out Loss To Arizona

February 02, 2022 08:00 - 30 minutes - 28.3 MB

It would have been so nice to go into the All-Star break with the home winning streak and overall winning streak in tact, but sometimes hockey is funny that way. One would have thought it would have. Seeing as how the Avs have been winning all year and the Coyotes have struggled to win at all. The Avs were even 30 seconds away from extending those streaks too. But the hockey Gods said not today. Arizona forced OT, then a shoot out where a lone Arizona goal was enough to send the Avs into th...

Kadri Gets the 1st Star of the Week. What Are His Hart Chances? How Far Can The Avs Take These Streaks?

February 01, 2022 08:00 - 33 minutes - 30.7 MB

Nazem Kadri's career year continued yesterday when he added the 1st Star of the Week to the season resume. Now the question is, if he can continue this for the remainder of the season, how good are his chances of winning the Hart Trophy? Will he get recognized or will he lose out to the more 'household' names? We also talk about the two streaks the Avs currently have going in their home winning stream (currently at 18 games) and their overall winning streak (currently at 10). We take a look...

Avalanche Home Streak Now Up to 18 Games. What Does Burakovsky's Mid Game Demotion Mean?

January 31, 2022 08:00 - 30 minutes - 27.7 MB

The Colorado Avalanche didn't have to battle from behind Sunday night against the Buffalo Sabres, but it wasn't a walk in the park by any stretch either. A goal, followed by a power play goal thanks to an unsuccessful Buffalo challenge, separated the Avs from the Sabres, 4-1. The Avs now hold an 18 game winning streak at home, a 16 game point streak and a 10 game overall winning streak. But it wasn't all pretty. The Avalanche didn't have the jump we are accustomed to, and forward Andre Bura...

Milestones the Avs Could Reach This Year. A New Way to Watch Avalanche Games

January 28, 2022 08:00 - 31 minutes - 29.3 MB

This years Colorado Avalanche are an offensive powerhouse of a team. Because of that, are there some all time records within the franchise (both Avalanche and Nordiques) that guys on this roster could match or beat? Could the most goals in a game (5) get matched? Most Assists in a game (5)? Most points in a game (8)? What about most wins in a season (52)? In any other Avs season it might be a tall order, and while it still may be, if any Avs team can match or beat these records, it's this y...

The Avalanche Pull a Rabbit Out of Their Hat. Comeback and Beat Boston in OT, 4-3. Extend Home Streak to 17.

January 27, 2022 07:20 - 30 minutes - 27.9 MB

Do you have your voices back yet!? In what will easily be one of the best games of the Avalanche season, the Avs found themselves down two in the 3rd, found a way to tie it late to send it into overtime where Cale Makar finished off the comeback. The Avalanche extended their home winning streak to 17 games and their overall winning streak to eight. It isn't all sunshine for the Avs however. Minutes into the game Nathan MacKinnon's stick came back and hit him in the face from a hit by Taylor...

Jared Bednar Still Getting No Love. Are Reverse Retro Uniforms Coming Back?

January 26, 2022 08:00 - 29 minutes - 27.3 MB

Remove the first season Jared Bednar took over for the Colorado Avalanche and he has done nothing but win (yes the Cup has proven elusive so far). He has been up for the Jack Adams award in the past but has yet to win it. To coach a team with such high expectations, and provide a winner in the process is no easy task. But as far as regular seasons go, Jared Bednar has been exactly what Joe Sakic and the Avalanche faithful have hoped for. So how is it that when nhl.com polled 16 of it's writ...

Avs Win 16th in a Row At Home, 2-0. Frankie Gets Another Shutout.

January 25, 2022 08:00 - 31 minutes - 28.8 MB

The Colorado Avalanche kept their home winning streak in tact with a 2-0 win over the Chicago Blackhawks. The Avs streak now stands at 16 games and questions are now being asked if they can make a run at the all time streak of 23 games held by the Detroit Red Wings. Many questions have been asked throughout the season so far about the Avs goaltending. But all that seems to be forgotten at least in the short term, and both Pavel Francouz and Darcy Kuemper have been playing exceptionally well...

Avalanche Finding Many Different Ways to Win Games

January 24, 2022 08:00 - 31 minutes - 28.8 MB

The Colorado Avalanche continue to win and continue to do it seemingly in a different fashion every night. Kyle and Chris discuss the last two games for the Avs. One in which the LA Kings were the dominant team, but the Avalanche won 4-1. Then against the worst team in the league where the Avalanche needed OT to win, 3-2. Is there any concern about the Canadiens taking the Avs to OT, or is that just hockey? Tune in and subscribe!

Francouz Wins Goalie Battle Against Gibson. Avalanche Grind Out A 2-0 Win

January 20, 2022 13:19 - 28 minutes - 26.1 MB

You almost knew the 3rd match up between the Colorado Avalanche and Anaheim Ducks would have a different feel to it considering the Avs won both previous games rather convincingly. Anaheim came out with a different game plan and for most of the game it was working. They just didn't have anything to show for it on the scoreboard thanks to Avs goalie Pavel Francouz. John Gibson on the Ducks side wasn't making it any easier for the Avalanche, and one knuckle puck that got behind him was exactl...

Nazem Kadri Is Officially an All-Star! No Discipline for Greenway?

January 19, 2022 08:00 - 32 minutes - 29.6 MB

We did it! Thanks to the Colorado Avalanche fans who stuffed the virtual ballot boxes, Nazem Kadri will be the 3rd Colorado Avalanche in this years All-Star Game, along with head coach Jared Bednar who will be coaching the Central Division. Kadri received more votes than anyone on the ballot across all divisions. For someone who is having a career year, it's no surprise and well deserved. We also found out that the league will not hand down any discipline for Jordan Greenway after his hit o...

Avs and Wild Need Shootout to Decide Physical, Penalty Filled Game.

January 18, 2022 08:00 - 31 minutes - 29.1 MB

Well, we kind of saw this type of game coming. When the Colorado Avalanche and Minnesota Wild get together, you can almost guarantee a physical matchup. And that is exactly what we got Monday night. Overall, 44 penalty minutes were divided up in the penalty box. On the ice, hit were everywhere, including a nasty one to goalie Darcy Kuemper's head, which ended his night. In the end, the Avalanche needed another shootout to get the extra point. Pavel Francouz refused to let in another series ...

Avs vs Coyotes Sequel Is Better Than The Original. Another Division Game on Deck vs the Wild

January 17, 2022 08:00 - 32 minutes - 29.5 MB

The Colorado Avalanche and Arizona Coyotes got together twice over the weekend, once at each others house, and it was two different play dates. The Avs had to fight back from giving up a two goal lead to take the game into overtime, then eventually a shoot out to take game one, while game two went the much smoother route of a 5-0 no brainer. Darcy Kuemper nabbed his first shutout of the season in facing his old team, and Nathan MacKinnon is starting to take games over which is making every ...

Avs vs Coyotes Sequel Is Better Than The Original. Another Division Game on Deck vs the Wild

January 17, 2022 08:00 - 35 minutes

The Colorado Avalanche and Arizona Coyotes got together twice over the weekend, once at each others house, and it was two different play dates. The Avs had to fight back from giving up a two goal lead to take the game into overtime, then eventually a shoot out to take game one, while game two went the much smoother route of a 5-0 no brainer.

Nazem Kadri Denied An All-Star Spot (For Now). Should Avs be in on Jakob Chychrun?

January 14, 2022 08:00 - 32 minutes - 29.4 MB

Vote for Naz! Up to 10 times a day to make him the 11th player in for the Central Division https://www.nhl.com/all-star-ballot The Colorado Avalanche are loaded, and there are only so many spots available for All-Stars. We knew Nathan MacKinnon was in due to his leading the voting for the division captain, and we figured Cale Makar would be in because......he's Cale Makar. But was there enough room for Nazem Kadri considering each team needs to be represented? The answer, so far, is no. N...

No Word From The NHL On The OT Call. How Important Are High Tech Practice Facilities To Free Agents?

January 13, 2022 08:00 - 30 minutes - 28.4 MB

Well it's been 24 hours and we have yet to hear from the NHL on the play that gifted the Nashville Predators an OT win against the Colorado Avalanche. Probably give it another day, and if still nothing, we can probably expect nothing. We eerily received a listener question prior to the Avs / Preds game if refs should wear cameras, so we can see what they see. Would this have made a difference on this play in particular? Probably not, but since refs are not made available to the media, we wo...

Horrible OT Call Ends Avs Winning Streak. Will The League Admit It's Mistake?

January 12, 2022 08:00 - 29 minutes - 27.5 MB

You never want to see the officials involve themselves so much in the game that it effects the outcome. And 99% of the time they don't. Every so often, they do and that was the case last night for the Colorado Avalanche against the Nashville Predators. It was a hard fought game. An enjoyable game. The Avs had to fight back yet again and regulation time wasn't enough to determine a winner. In overtime, both teams were gaining opportunities. Then, the Avs were called for too many men on the i...

It's Not How the Avs Drew It Up, But A Late Rally Get's Them Past the Kraken

January 11, 2022 08:00 - 31 minutes - 29.3 MB

Some will say they saw a trap game coming a mile away, and if the Avs ended up losing against the Seattle Kraken, they would have been right. The Colorado Avalanche didn't play their best game of hockey Monday night against the Seattle Kraken. In fact, the team they beat 7-3 not that long ago held a 3-1 lead late in the 2nd period. But we know how this Avalanche team can score, and with their back against the wall they did just that. Devon Toews redirected a puck past former Avalanche Phili...

Avalanche Avenge Their Worst Lost of the Season Against Toronto With a Comeback Win In Overtime

January 10, 2022 08:00 - 30 minutes - 27.9 MB

The Colorado Avalanche looked like it was going to be 'worst game of the year version 2.0' for their second and final matchup against the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Avs found themselves down 3-0 early in the 1st, then 4-1 in the 2nd. But if there is one thing this team has it is a no quit mentality. They never went away and before you knew it, Devon Toews was beating Leafs goalie Jack Campbell for the extra point. It wasn't all pretty, but once the Avs got the confidence back that they could ...

Avs Spot Winnipeg a Goal and Then Turn on Afterburners. Crush Jets, 7-1. Top Line Couldn't Be Denied

January 07, 2022 08:00 - 32 minutes - 29.7 MB

It's always nice to get two points against a division rival, and it's even better doing it in dominating fashion. That's just what the Colorado Avalanche did in rolling over the Winnipeg Jets, 7-1. The top line for the Avs saw 12 total points and Colorado used one of their best periods of the season in the 2nd to separate from Winnipeg, then used the 3rd to turn on the afterburners. All while getting all seven goals past one of the best goalies in the NHL. The Avs have to feel as confident ...

Let's Talk Some More About That Cale Makar Goal. Looking at the Avalanche January Schedule

January 06, 2022 08:00 - 31 minutes - 28.6 MB

Moments like this are rare. When something some extraordinary happens the entire league is talking about it. What's even more rare is when it a player on your team they are talking about. Thus is the case with Cale Makar and his OT game winner against the Chicago Blackhawks. You couldn't scroll for more than 5 seconds without another media outlet or personal account on any social media platform talking about or sharing the video of Cale Makar spinning around Kirby Dach and then netting one ...

Up and Down Avs Force OT. Then Cale Makar Called Game.

January 05, 2022 08:00 - 31 minutes - 29 MB

The Colorado Avalanche looked good in spots and struggled in others. They got up by two goals, then gave up the lead. But they never gave up and fought to force overtime against the Chicago Blackhawks. OT has typically not been very good for the Avs. But Tuesday night will be remembered for one thing. Cale Makar turning Hawks forward Kirby Dach into pudding with a move that left your jaw on the floor. Not only was his pirouette a thing of beauty, he still had to get past a Hall of Fame goal...

A Blackhawks Website Proposes 3 Trades With the Avalanche For Patrick Kane

January 04, 2022 08:00 - 31 minutes - 28.7 MB

It's always fun to play the role of GM. In your own world you are giving up very little and getting a king's ransom in return. That is what a Chicago Blackhawks website did when they offered up three different trades with the Colorado Avalanche. In all three scenarios the Avalanche inherit Patrick Kane, what they give up is something that needs to be discussed. Would you do any of them? Tune in and find out our thoughts!

Avalanche Return to Ice, Grab 4-2 Comeback Win Over Anaheim

January 03, 2022 08:00 - 31 minutes - 28.8 MB

The Colorado Avalanche returned to play for the first time since their December 16th game against the Nashville Predators. We expected some rust having been sidelined for that long, and we got some early on and the Avs found themselves down 2-0. But once the Avs found their legs, the comeback began and the Avs scored four unanswered for a 4-2 comeback win over the Anaheim Ducks. Chris and Kyle break down the action. Who looked good, what went right and how can the Avs build on this going fo...

Avs Getting Ready For First Game In Over Two Weeks. Fans Give Their Favorite Memories of 2021

December 31, 2021 08:00 - 32 minutes - 30 MB

Our final show of 2021! The Colorado Avalanche will finally get back on the ice this weekend when they face the Anaheim Ducks Sunday. What can we expect from both teams considering it will be the Avs first game in 17 days and the Ducks having two games under their belt prior to the matchup? We also dive into our final favorite memories of the year. Today we discuss the craziness of the first day of free agency, and Kyle gushes over his favorite Avalanche player having himself a season.

More Favorite Memories From 2021. World Juniors Cancelled. RIP John Madden

December 30, 2021 08:00 - 31 minutes - 29.1 MB

As the Colorado Avalanche wait just a few more days to finally get back on the ice, it gives Chris and Kyle the chance to look back at more memories from the year 2021 and some of the things they loved when it came to Avs hockey. Today, they discuss a recent classic game, and a certain fight that set the tone for a playoff series. They guys also discuss the surprise decision to cancel the World Juniors tournament and if they will even attempt to make it up over the summer. Finally, even a ...

MacKinnon Leads Central All-Star Voting. Surprised? Favorite Memories From 2021

December 29, 2021 08:00 - 29 minutes - 27.3 MB

The Colorado Avalanche were pushing their fans to log in daily and make Cale Makar the captain of the Central Division for the All-Star Game in February in Vegas. We aren't saying Makar isn't deserving. He should definitely be in the conversation. But it was somewhat surprising and a little funny that the guy the Avs were pushing fans to vote for isn't leading the vote. It's another Avalanche player entirely in Nathan MacKinnon. Should we be surprised by this? And are All-Star games even nec...

Avalanche Next Game Will Be In 2022. Are We At The Point of Giving This Season a Pass?

December 28, 2021 08:00 - 32 minutes - 30 MB

First the Colorado Avalanche game Monday night against the Vegas Golden Knights was cancelled, then came work the next two games on Wednesday and Friday against the Dallas Stars would be cancelled as well. We can at least take some solace knowing that the Avalanche team is on the mend and these cancellations are due to the Stars having several players added to the protocol list at the pro and AHL levels that made it impossible for them to put a full team out on the ice. But in the end, we ...

Avs Return Must Wait a Couple More Days. The New NHL COVID Roster Protection Rules.

December 27, 2021 08:00 - 34 minutes - 31.4 MB

The Colorado Avalanche have not played a game in the last 10 days and we were all ready for their return on Monday against the Vegas Golden Knights. Well that won't happen either as the league pushed their COVID pause out an extra day, cancelling all games on Monday. In addition, the league released new roster protection rules.

Good / Bad Surprises So Far This Season. What Will Avalanche Mt. Rushmore Look Like in 15 Years?

December 23, 2021 08:00 - 32 minutes - 29.9 MB

With the season and the Colorado Avalanche on pause for a bit, now is a good time to take a look at what have been some surprises so far this season with the Avs? Good ones and bad ones. Kyle and Chris also dive into that age old sports question of who belongs on a teams Mount Rushmore. Joe Sakic, Patrick Roy and Peter Forsberg seems to be locks probably forever. But Kyle pitches the idea that maybe one of those three aren't so set in stone as you would think with the likes of current playe...

Altitude & Comcast Making Nice? Who Can Benefit From the COVID Pause?

December 22, 2021 08:00 - 31 minutes - 28.8 MB

It's been over two years since Colorado Avalanche games went dark in the Denver area due to a dispute between Comcast and the Altitude Network. But that looks like it might be coming to an end soon. There is no official word yet, but reports state both side are closer now than ever before. So get ready for Avalanche games on Comcast! Well, not just yet. Because the league appears to be going on a brief shut down thanks to COVID. Kyle and Chris discuss who can take the time off to benefit fr...

Avalanche Season Put on Pause. Is The League Next?

December 20, 2021 08:00 - 35 minutes - 32.9 MB

Here we are again. The Colorado Avalanche finished their game Thursday night against the Nashville Predators, and then found out the next day their season would be put on hold until at least December 27th, meaning the Avs will have to make up the four games they would have played during that time. The NHL implemented new standards in an attempt to deal with limiting the number of positive cases, but is that a battle that cannot be won? Is the league trying to just plug holes whenever one po...

COVID Creeps Up on Avs Minutes Before Puck Drop. Winning Streak Ends to Predators, 5-2

December 17, 2021 08:00 - 34 minutes - 31.8 MB

We knew the Nashville Predators were going to be without several players due to them being entered into the leagues COVID protocol. What we did not expect was Colorado Avalanche players added to the list as well minutes prior to the game. The Avalanche announced earlier in the day that J.T. Compher and Andre Burakovski were added to the list, then shortly before the game was set to begin we found out Darcy Kuemper and Cale Makar were on it as well. So the Avs were going into a game without...

Is Avs Game Vs Predators In Jeopardy? Looking Over the Central Division

December 16, 2021 08:00 - 37 minutes - 34.8 MB

As of our recording this episode, the Colorado Avalanche game against the Nashville Predators on Thursday night is still a go. However, the Preds announced that 12 people within the franchise entered the COVID protocol consisting of six players and six staff members. Will the game be played as scheduled? We also take a look at the Central Division standings. The Avs recent success has them climbing up the Central. How good of a spot have they positioned themselves. Finally, the Avalanche h...

Avs Take Season Series Against Rangers. Win 5th in a Row, 4-2

December 15, 2021 08:00 - 35 minutes - 32.2 MB

We knew it would be a more competitive game between the Colorado Avalanche and New York Rangers, and in the end it was. But that didn't prevent the Avalanche from jumping to a lead and never surrendering it on their way to a 4-2 win for their 2nd win in a week against the blue shirts. Justin Barron saw his first action in an Avs sweater as Devon Toews entered the COVID protocol, Cale Makar netted a new career high in goals scored on a season.....with 56 games left to play, and Darcy Kuemper...

The Salary Cap & What It Means For Nathan MacKinnon. Will NHL Players Pull Out of the Olympics?

December 14, 2021 08:00 - 35 minutes - 32.1 MB

The NHL salary cap will see a minimal increase over the next couple years, and at the end of the 2023-2024 season it should see a significant increase. This will be one year AFTER Nathan MacKinnon signs his new deal, whatever and wherever (hopefully Colorado of course) that will be. But will the impending increase cause MacKinnon to rethink how he wants to sign his upcoming deal? Does he go short term and then sign again for a few million more, or does he just want to stay where he is in Col...

Avs & Panthers Skate to Classic Regular Season Game. Avs Come Out on Top, 3-2

December 13, 2021 14:31 - 33 minutes - 30.5 MB

Many people had the Colorado Avalanche and Florida Panthers as a potential Stanley Cup Final, and if last night was any indication, we would all be in for a treat if it were to happen. The Avs came out on top, 3-2, of a back and forth affair that had everything you want in a hockey game and one thing you don't. On one hand you had one team pull ahead only for the other to storm back and tie it. You had an ending that had you on the edge of your seat and goaltending to match. But you also ha...

Avs In On the Korpisalo Talks? Looking More into the Trouba Hit. The Red Wings Return to Denver!

December 10, 2021 08:00 - 38 minutes - 34.9 MB

It's always a game that is circled on the calendar when the season schedule is released. Even though they play in different conferences, you always look for when the Avs and Red Wings meet up, which will happen again Friday night in Denver. This is a different Red Wings team than we have been used the past couple seasons. They are younger and can hang with anyone. Thanks to their two rising star rookie in Lucas Raymond and Moritz Seider. But the Avs are coming off a solid 7-3 win against t...

December 07, 2021 08:00 - 35 minutes - 32.5 MB

The defensive struggles remain, but the offense continues to excel. The Avalanche needed every bit of their offensive abilities to get beyond the Flyers in a 7-5 win. A game that should not have been that close, but because of those defensive issues (and a rookie prospect in goal), it was.

Avalanche Are Dealing With Injuries, But Where They Rank in Total Games Lost Might Surprise You

December 06, 2021 08:00 - 37 minutes - 34.8 MB

The Colorado Avalanche were down some key players heading into Ottawa Saturday night, and it showed. The Avs found themselves down 5-2.
