Avalanche Take Their Show on the Road For Majority of December
November 30, 2021 08:00 - 30 minutes - 28.2 MBThe Colorado Avalanche had a pretty easy road for the month of November. Playing only 10 games, winning seven of them while plying teams they were mostly superior to. The month of December looks like a complete 180. Not only will the Avs play a total of 16 games during the month, their only multiple days off are for the Christmas break, they play a five game road trip as well as a four game road trip which will be part of 11 road games in total. But, the Avs will have the services of Natha...
Avalanche Finish November on a Strong Note. Captain Landeskog Stands Up For His Teammates
November 29, 2021 08:00 - 30 minutes - 28.2 MBThe Colorado Avalanche had a pretty favorable schedule for the month of November, and they took advantage of that. The Avs finished the month with a 6-2 win over Nashville and ended the month with a 7-2-1 record climbing right back into the thick of the division race. Not only did the Avs show they can follow up a poor performance with a solid one, but captain Gabriel Landeskog showed the league why he is one of the best captains around. Standing up for teammate Mikko Rantanen and leaving M...
Avalanche Finish November on a Strong Note. Captain Landeskog Stands Up For His Teammates
November 29, 2021 08:00 - 33 minutesThe Colorado Avalanche had a pretty favorable schedule for the month of November, and they took advantage of that. The Avs finished the month with a 6-2 win over Nashville and ended the month with a 7-2-1 record climbing right back into the thick of the division race.

Avs Streak Extends to Six. Surprise Avalanche Players and Stats. Bednar Claims Most Wins As Coach
November 26, 2021 08:00 - 40 minutes - 37.2 MBIt took the Avs a little while to figure out the Anaheim Ducks, but once they did there was no looking back and the Colorado Avalanche extend their win streak to six games with a 5-2 win Wednesday night. Nazem Kadri continues his hot play with two more points (1a, 1a) as well as Cale Makar who found the net yet again. Makar now has five goals in his last three games and currently leads the team with eight. Which leads us to our next topic, Black Friday Avalanche Deals. Meaning, which player...
Slow Down on the Contract Extension Kadri Talk. Listener Question. Avs vs Ducks Preview
November 24, 2021 08:00 - 33 minutes - 30.5 MBHas Nazem Kadri been playing out of his mind lately? Yes. Has he been the one to step up in the absence of Nathan MacKinnon? No question. But this early season explosion does not warrant Joe Sakic to throw a blank check at Naz and jump the gun on a knee jerk reaction to sign the forward now, and not wait for his contract to expire at the end of the season. I explain why. I also took some listener questions which include the Avalanche history if a new team moves to Quebec. Potential trade ta...
Avs Win 5th in a Row in Back and Forth 7-5 Win Over Ottawa.
November 23, 2021 08:00 - 30 minutes - 27.6 MBSome parts of it were great, other parts of it were frustrating. But it was damn exciting. The Avalanche came into Monday on a four game winning streak and faced off against an Ottawa team who had not played in a week thanks to games getting cancelled due to COVID. You would think this would be all Avs. It wasn't. Ottawa came to play and the Avalanche had to do everything in their power to regain a 3rd period deficit to take two points in a 7-5 win. Nazem Kadri continued is fantastic play, ...
Avalanche Dismantle Kraken, 7-3. Win Streak Extends to 4 Games. Coach Bednar Gets an Extension.
November 20, 2021 08:00 - 35 minutes - 32.3 MBThe Colorado Avalanche had a memorable first game against the Seattle Kraken. Many expected to see former Avalanche goalie Philipp Grubauer face his former team. But it was announced prior to the game he would not get the start. However, four early goals lead to a goalie change and Grubauer had no choice but to face his former team. This game was all Avalanche. They were clearly the better team, and it showed. Prior to the game the Avs announced a two year extension for head coach Jared Be...
What to Expect From The Avs 1st Meeting With Seattle. What is the Worth of The Avalanche Franchise?
November 19, 2021 08:00 - 43 minutes - 39.6 MBEvery time an NHL team faces the Seattle Kraken for the first time this season they will be seeing at least one familiar face. For the Colorado Avalanche they will be seeing two in Joonas Donskoi and Philipp Grubauer. One had no choice in going to Seattle (Donskoi) while they other did (Grubauer). Both have started the season struggling and the Avalanche head into Seattle ready to face off against their old netminder while he and his team struggle to find wins. Peter Baugh from The Athletic...
Avalanche Claim Their First Three Game Winning Streak of the Season
November 18, 2021 08:00 - 28 minutes - 26.1 MBThe Colorado Avalanche beat up on the Vancouver Canucks last week, 7-1. You didn't think that was going to happen again did you? The Avalanche got an opponent that played a much better game, but it still was not enough to overcome the Avs offensive weapons, and in the end the Avalanche went on to a 4-2 lead and their third win in a row. Nazem Kadri continued his fantastic start to the season, and at a time when they need him the most with Nathan MacKinnon out, as well as J. T. Compher for th...
Nazem Kadri Is Having Himself a Season. Sammy Girard Isn't Going Anywhere
November 17, 2021 11:01 - 31 minutes - 28.7 MBIt's the same song Avalanche fans have heard for years now. Who will be the one to step up for all the injuries. The answer is different on a game by game basis, but for the first 12 games of the season so far, you could say Nazem Kadri is this teams MVP. While players like Bo Byram and Logan O'Connor do things on the ice that make your eyes pop out, Naz has been going about his business a little quieter than those guys and it has lead to him leading the team in points thus far. Sammy Girar...
The Good: Makar is Back. The Bad: Mack possibly injured. The Ugly: Nuke Blood Test Questioned
November 10, 2021 08:00 - 26 minutes - 24.1 MBIn a matter of one hour, we went from the excitement of potentially having a full roster of Avs for the first time all year against Vancouver on Thursday, to all of that being in jeopardy with a possible Nathan MacKinnon injury. Because....Avalanche hockey. Unrelated to the MacKinnon news, Sampo Ranta was sent down to the Colorado Eagles as Alex Newhook was called up. Ranta didn't do anything bad in the first 10 games of the season, but it didn't do anything eye popping either, hence the mo...
Does Vegas Acquiring Eichel Force the Avs to Make A Move of Their Own?
November 08, 2021 08:00 - 36 minutesThe Colorado Avalanche did call to inquire about the possibility of acquiring Jack Eichel in a trade, but when Buffalo said they would not retain any salary those talks ended. Vegas swooped in and landed the superstar and now the Avalanche have to be asking themselves did they miss an opportunity? Will Eichel going to Vegas, a team many think will be the Avs top contender to make it to the Stanley Cup Finals, force the Avs to make a similar move at some point during the season? The Avs can ta...
Does Vegas Acquiring Eichel Force the Avs to Make A Move of Their Own?

Avs Let 3rd Period Lead Slip Away For The 2nd Time in a Row Against Columbus.
November 07, 2021 08:00 - 40 minutesThe Colorado Avalanche should be playing better than this. Sure it was only game 10 in an 82 game season, but the Avalanche are not putting together a full 60 minutes and it has burned them in the last two games against the Columbus Blue Jackets. Colorado got back big pieces in Andre Burakovsky, Mikko Rantanen and Devon Toews say his first action of the season. But none of that mattered. The top line did not register a point and was a -4 on the night. Darcy Keumper looked fantastic over the m...
Avs Let 3rd Period Lead Slip Away For The 2nd Time in a Row Against Columbus.
November 07, 2021 08:00 - 37 minutes - 33.9 MBThe Colorado Avalanche should be playing better than this. Sure it was only game 10 in an 82 game season, but the Avalanche are not putting together a full 60 minutes and it has burned them in the last two games against the Columbus Blue Jackets. Colorado got back big pieces in Andre Burakovsky, Mikko Rantanen and Devon Toews say his first action of the season. But none of that mattered.

CROSSOVER EPISODE: Jay Forster of Locked on Blue Jackets Joins to Discuss the Avs / Jackets Matchups
November 05, 2021 07:00 - 36 minutes - 33.9 MBGame 1 between the Colorado Avalanche and the Columbus Blue Jackets was pretty exciting, even if the Avs came away with one point in an OT loss. The two teams will lace them up again in Ohio on Saturday, so Jay Forster from Locked on Blue Jackets and I get together to discuss game 1 while looking forward to game 2. The Avs will likely have a more welcomed look on Saturday with the probable return of Mikko Rantanen, Andre Burakovsky and we could even see Devon Toews take the ice for the firs...
The Avs Were Good. Then They Were Bad. Then They Were Good Again. Then The Lost.
November 04, 2021 07:00 - 24 minutes - 22.9 MBSure the Colorado Avalanche were down key players heading into Wednesday nights matchup with the Columbus Blue Jackets. But nobody was concerned after 40 minutes of play that saw the Avs with a 2-0 lead and playing like the better team. Then the wheels fell off in the third. Columbus scored four unanswered goals and the Avs were reeling. All seemed lost until rookie superstar Bowen Byram threw two pucks on net with the goalie pulled to tie it up. One was redirected by J.T Compher who contin...
Cale Makar Heads to the IR. Potential Line Combinations. Devon Toews Wins Halloween
November 03, 2021 07:00 - 28 minutes - 26.4 MBWhat's the first thing you think of when I say Colorado Avalanche? Joe Sakic? Patrick Roy? Maybe current players like Nathan MacKinnon? It won't be long before we start saying 'injuries'. The injury bug strikes again and this time is has sent Avs star Cale Makar to the IR (that all rhymed). But it isn't all hopeless for the Avs. They have played well over the past few games and they have done so with the players taking the ice Wednesday against Columbus. Finally, it seems like Devon Toews...
The Randomness of Player Safety Strikes Again. The Avs November Schedule. A Thank You To Von Miller
November 02, 2021 07:00 - 29 minutes - 27.2 MBWell here we are again. The department of player safety has done it again. A deliberate and vicious hit to an Avalanche player will go unpunished for the second time this season. At the same time they had no problem handing out a two game suspension to Cedric Paquette of the Montreal Canadiens for a boarding hit that was bad, but nowhere near the hit on Bowen Byram. Trying to figure the department out is as confusing as a riddle. I also take a look at the Avs schedule for the month of Novem...
Avalanche Get Back to .500 With Their 2nd Division Win in A Row
November 01, 2021 03:00 - 27 minutes - 25 MBThe Colorado Avalanche seem to be getting comfortable and settling down after a handful of games. The Avs won their second game in a row which both of them happen to be against division rivals, and get back to a .500 record on the season. No Mikko Rantanen again, but Sam Girard did return and when you have payers like Logan O'Connor and Jacob MacDonald giving maximum effort with every shift along with non wasted minutes eaten up by Kurtis MacDermid, the Avs are now that team where the oppon...
Kyle Beach: A True Hero. Special Locked on NHL Episode
October 30, 2021 07:00 - 33 minutes - 30.5 MBKyle Beach did one of the bravest things a person can do and came out as the player who was sexually assaulted when he was in the Chicago Blackhawks organization. Gil and Chris discuss the interview Kyle gave to TSN's Rick Westhead, how after 11 years he can finally begin his personal healing process, the Chicago Blackhawks failure to put serious allegations over winning and what the NHL can do to ensure this never happens ever again. This episode was recorded for the Thursday edition of Lo...
Avalanche Look Much More Like the Avs We Know. Hand Blues First Loss of the Season.
October 29, 2021 07:00 - 30 minutes - 27.9 MBAnother big game early in the Colorado Avalanche season, and they picked the perfect time to play their best game. On enemy ice, against an undefeated team, the Avs looked much more like the team we have come to know and leave St. Louis with a 4-3 win over the Blues. Maybe they were listening to this show, but the Avs threw 42 shots on goal compared to the Blues 18. That can only lead to good things, and it did last night. Now the Avs need to build on that as another division game is aroun...
What Do The Avalanche Need To Do To Get On Track? I Give Some Suggestions.
October 28, 2021 07:00 - 27 minutes - 22.3 MBThe season has not started the way the Avalanche have hoped for to this point. But all is not lost. We all expect the Avs to get on track, but I thought I could throw my two cents in on some things the Avalanche should do to fast track righting the ship. And yes, that includes getting rid of Kurtis MacDermid Hit subscribe and enjoy! BetOnline AG There is only 1 place that has you covered and 1 place we trust. Betonline.ag!

Avalanche Can't Find Rhythm in 3-1 Loss to the Golden Knights
October 27, 2021 07:00 - 28 minutes - 26 MBYou would think the Colorado Avalanche would come out ready in facing the team that eliminated them from the postseason last year. But they didn't. It got better as the game went on, but by then the Avalanche were battling from behind. When you are facing a good team like Vegas, they don't make it easy. In the end, the Avalanche put up a frustrating effort and now sit at 2-4-0 on the season. It didn't help Jack Johnson got a game misconduct call, which is possibly the worst one I've seen. S...
Avalanche Looking for Payback Against Vegas. The Courage of Colin Wilson
October 26, 2021 07:00 - 29 minutes - 27.4 MBWe all know who eliminated the Colorado Avalanche from the post season last year. And a win against them Tuesday night does not replace that. But, it will still feel pretty damn good. Vegas is down some key players, but injuries is not something you can come complain about to an Avalanche fan. With our without those players, the Avs will be ready to go. One, for some sort of revenge. And two, they want to continue playing the way they did against Tampa. Bowen Byram's season came to an end ...
Avalanche Salvage Win In Tampa To End Road Trip With A Shoot Out Victory
October 25, 2021 07:00 - 31 minutes - 28.6 MBThe Tampa Bay Lightning, as expected, made the Colorado Avalanche fight for it, but in the end Cale Makar, taking his first ever shoot out attempt, put one past Andrei Vasilevskiy to give the Avalanche the much needed 2nd point and gave the Avs a happier flight back home. The game, however, was not without controversy, as Steven Stamkos drove Avs defender Samuel Girard hard into the boards in a scary and unnecessary hit. No penalty was called and as of this recording, Stamkos has not heard ...
Avalanche Give Better Effort, But Drop 3rd Straight in 4-1 Loss to Panthers
October 22, 2021 07:00 - 30 minutes - 27.9 MBThat opening night win against the Chicago Blackhawks seems so long ago at this point. But, the Avalanche did put in a much better last night against the Florida Panthers than they did in their last game against the Washington Capitals. Still, this Avs team is not where it needs to be and improvements are needed. Officiating didn't help in this one, giving the Panthers two goals of which they probably should not have had, but the Avalanche need to worry about their own play and not what the...
Avs Put Up Stinker in 6-3 Loss to the Washington Capitals
October 21, 2021 07:00 - 27 minutes - 22.2 MBGet the worst game of the season out of the way early. Let's hope that's what the Colorado Avalanche did Wednesday night with their first road game of the year against the Washington Capitals. Nothing went right for the Avs. The defense was full of holes, the forwards looks stiff and in the end the Avs gave up 6 goals when it could have been much worse. Yes, it is still early in the season, but to play the way the Avs did should not happen with the talent on this team. Especially with Nath...
Is Nathan MacKinnon Closer to Returning Than Originally Thought? Is Alex Newhook the New Nikita Zadorov?
October 19, 2021 07:00 - 30 minutes - 24.6 MBReports came out late Monday night that Nathan MacKinnon provided a negative COVID test and was therefore en route to Washington to be with the Avalanche. Another negative test Tuesday morning would clear him and allow him to potentially play against the Capitals. Stay tuned to that news as it was surprisingly NOT making the rounds you would expect news like that to be. We do know that Mikael Maltsev and Martin Kaut were called up to the Avs. It remains to be seen if they will actually take...
Avalanche Fight Back, but Comeback Falls Short After a Disallowed Goal. Kick or No Kick?
October 18, 2021 07:00 - 33 minutes - 26.9 MBAin't a hockey season without controversy. Did Tyson Jost kick the puck in to the net to momentarily tie the game against the St. Louis Blues at 4? I think the survey says yes on that. But so did Chandler Stephenson of the Vegas Golden Knights a few days earlier, and that goal stood. Once again, the inconsistency of everything to do with rulings comes into play. Also, the Avs were named as a team who called Buffalo as they gauged interest in Jack Eichel. Why we should not think that has any...
Gabriel Landeskog Suspended Two Games. ESPN & TNT Review. Looking Ahead to St. Louis
October 15, 2021 07:00 - 33 minutes - 30.7 MBWe knew the Dept of Player Safety would come calling after Gabriel Landeskog's hit on Kirby Dach, but the lurking question was if a suspension was coming. It did. Landeskog will miss the next two games for the hit and with the status of Nathan MacKinnon for Saturday's game still unknown, this could be a tougher task than usual for the Avs against the Blues. Kyle joins me for his usual Friday slot and we rate the first week for ESPN and TNT. What we liked, what we didn't and what can they do...
Avalanche Hot Start Too Much For Chicago. Win Opener 4-2
October 14, 2021 07:00 - 28 minutes - 22.7 MBThe Colorado Avalanche set the tone early with three goals in less than 10 minutes, then went on to a 4-2 win in the season opener against the Chicago Blackhawks. Jack Johnson (you read that right) got the scoring going to Colorado, who made life difficult for new Blackhawks goalie Marc-Andre Fleury. On the other end, new Avalanche goalie Darcy Keumper is making Avalanche fans have Grubauer amnesia pretty quick. He was great when he needed to be as Chicago was forcing the issue in an attemp...
MacKinnon Contracts COVID. Makar Ready For Action
October 13, 2021 07:00 - 30 minutes - 24.4 MBAs if the Avalanche needed more to deal with heading into the regular season, their superstar forward Nathan MacKinnon will miss game one against Chicago after contracting COVID. MacKinnon is vaccinated and is asymptomatic so there is a chance he will be ready to go for game two on Saturday against St. Louis. Cale Makar spoke with the media and he is ready for action. Makar touched on the offseason moves by the Avs, which he is happy with, having Erik Johnson back and how his paring with Sa...
The 2021-2022 Colorado Avalanche Opening Night Roster Is Set
October 12, 2021 07:00 - 28 minutes - 26.1 MBFinal decisions were made, and they no doubt were difficult. In the end, some surprises took place and the final roster for the Avalanche is set. Sampo Ranta took one of the final roster spots and Jacob MacDonald did not. He did clear waivers and will play with the Colorado Eagles. There is also no doubt we will see several of the payers who did not make the cut. That is a good problem to have for the Avalanche. They have the depth to call players up when needed and not miss a beat. So wha...
Frankie Out 3-4 Weeks. Bednar Out With COVID. Makar Might See Action Saturday
October 08, 2021 07:00 - 35 minutes - 32.3 MBPavel Francouz will be out of the lineup for 3-4 weeks after suffering a lower body injury against Vegas Tuesday night. The injury is not related to the hip surgery that caused him to miss all of last year, but is just the fact he is injured a cause for concern? The Avalanche to this point in the preseason have not played a game with their full roster of likely starters. Coupled with how the Avs have not been playing particularly well in the preseason, should the coaching staff get as many ...
SPECIAL EPISODE: Locked on NHL Division Preview: Central Division

Gil Martin from Locked on Islanders and I break down this years Central Division as Locked on hosts from each team in the division answer five questions about their team heading into this year. Can the Avs make it past the 2nd round? Will the Predators get the goaltending they need? Can the Stars offense keep up with their defense? All that and more on this special preview episode.

Lots of Ugly From the Avalanche in a 7-4 Loss to Vegas
October 06, 2021 07:00 - 32 minutes - 30 MBSure it's the preseason, but this is where guys take an opportunity and turn it into something more. A few guys did that (Maltsev, Barron), a lot of guys didn't (too many to list). The Avalanche did some good things in an ugly loss to Vegas, like 3/4 on the power play, Mikko being Mikko and two pretty goals by Burky, but it was mainly forgettable. The Avs went in with not a single, surefire defensive starter and it showed. Oh, and let the injury bug begin with Pavel Francouz going down. But...
Fan Perspectives: Avalanche Fan Devin Ruff Talks Avs Expectations, Losing Grubauer and Division Foes
October 04, 2021 07:00 - 34 minutes - 31.7 MBAll fans have a say in how they feel about the teams they support. So throughout the season I will be checking in with some of those fans and friends I have made along the way here and asking them how they feel the Avalanche are doing. Why not start before the season begins with Devin Ruff. Devin has been on the show in the past and was also at the Avs first preseason game against the Minnesota Wild. Devin talks about what it was like to be back watching live Avalanche hockey as well as his ...
Burning Question #5: Can The Avs Go Deep in the Playoffs?
October 01, 2021 07:00 - 34 minutes - 31.3 MBThe Colorado Avalanche have struggled to get beyond the 2nd round of the playoffs in the last three years. Last year they had their best opportunity to do so and fell flat against Vegas. The Golden Knights aren't going anywhere and likely will be the Avs biggest challenge in getting to the Cup Finals. Is this the year the Avs finally make it and potentially win the Stanley Cup? Also the Avalanche were in action for their 2nd game of the preseason against the Minnesota Wild. Kyle and I discu...
Burning Question #4: Do The Avs Need To Be More Physical?
September 30, 2021 07:00 - 30 minutes - 28 MBA lot of people want to tag the Avalanche as a not so physical team, which an argument can be made for that, but there is a difference between being a physical team and being the most physical team in the league. The Avs don't need to be that team. They aren't built that way. But having a more physical presence is something they needed to address. Did they? Next, The Hockey Writers discuss three bold predictions for the Avalanche this season, one that is sure to get a discussion going. I th...
Burning Question #3: How Much Will the Prospects Play?
September 29, 2021 07:00 - 30 minutes - 27.9 MBThe Avalanche trotted out a handful of their up and coming prospects to face a Vegas Golden Knights team that was playing their second preseason game, and thus, more predominant players. But the rookies held their own and held a 3rd period lead that they gave away in a 4-3 loss. Some things to work on (0-7 on the PP) but a lot of good things to take away from a hard fought loss. Also, today is day three of our Five Burning Questions facing the Avalanche this season. Today, ironically, I'll ...
Burning Question #2: Depth
September 28, 2021 07:00 - 31 minutes - 28.7 MBLike any off season, players will come and players will go. The Avalanche had a close knit group of players but even that is not enough to keep guys together. The Avalanche lost guys like Philipp Grubauer and Brandon Saad to free agency, Joonas Donskoi to an expansion draft and Ryan Graves to a trade. Are the guys they brought in good enough to replicate what guys like that offered? I also take a look at Nazem Kadri, who made his first press conference of training camp. The hit that got him...
Burning Question #1: Can the Avalanche Stay Healthy?
September 27, 2021 07:00 - 26 minutes - 24.6 MBEach day this week I will be taking a look at 5 burning questions facing the Colorado Avalanche this season. Today we start with the Avalanche and injuries that have hurt them more than any other team the past couple years.....or have they? Injuries happen in all sports, but for the Colorado Avalanche they seem to find their players more than others the past couple years. The Avs will have injuries again this season. It's inevitable. But can they keep those injuries to a minimum and not lea...
Training Camp Gets Underway With Cale Makar in Red and Nathan MacKinnon Taking a Puck to the Face
September 24, 2021 07:00 - 38 minutes - 35.5 MBThere's no need to worry about either of them, but don't we as Avalanche fans just have to throw our hands up and say 'what gives?'. Coach Bednar stated that Makar had a procedure and the red jersey was for precautionary reasons, while MacKinnon needed a few stitches but was back out on the ice. Kyle joins for another Friday episode and we dive into what the opening night roster might look like on both the offense and defensive side of the ice. Tune in and subscribe! BetOnline AG There i...
Coach Bednar With a Ton of Player Updates. Can Bowers Make the Cut? Logan O'Conner Gets a New Deal
September 23, 2021 07:00 - 29 minutes - 26.9 MBDays like this are what you wait for when you haven't had hockey for weeks. The Avalanche players returned to Denver for training camp and Coach Jared Bednar updated the press on several players and what he expects from them. One of those players is Shane Bowers. He will be given chances, but will they be enough to make the squad? To end the day, the Avalanche reached a new three year deal for Logan O'Connor that starts next season. Let's discuss is all!

Takeaways From The Rookie Tournament. How Many Avs Will Be Up For Awards At the End of the Year?
September 22, 2021 07:00 - 29 minutes - 26.9 MBThe rookie tournament in Arizona is over and the Avalanche came away from it with a 2-1 record and more importantly, no injuries. How much stock should we put into this tournament, and who stood out? We will also fast forward to the end of the season and look at all the major awards given out ad how there could be an Avalanche player at least nominated for all of the major awards. Even Joe Sakic finally?? Finally, we say good bye to another Lauren who worked with the Avs. Sideline reporter...

Avalanche Prospects Take Part in a 4 on 4 Scrimmage. How About Those Blue Numbers?
September 16, 2021 07:00 - 26 minutes - 24.5 MBThe Colorado Avalanche have a deep prospect pool and we will see more of them in Arizona for the Prospect Face Off later this week. To prep for that, the Avs had some of their top prospects take part in a 4 on 4 scrimmage. Cool, but why couldn't we watch it from home? Bowen Byram had an assist and a goal in the scrimmage and he said prior to the game he felt better than he has in a long time. Will he have that final D pairing locked up when the puck drops for real? And the Avs will officia...
DIVISION CROSSOVER EPISODE! Locked on Avalanche and Locked on Blackhawks
