Bo Byram has entered the building. Avs start strong but bottom out in a 4-2 loss to the Kings.

January 22, 2021 08:00 - 22 minutes - 20.8 MB

When the news hit that Avs #1 prospect Bowen Byram was going to be in the lineup, fans were as excited as if this were a playoff game. Good thing it wasn't because the series would be tied at 1 thanks to a less than stellar effort by the Avalanche, letting the Kings walk away with their first win of the season even after Colorado got out to a 2-0 lead after the first. It's easy to see the season is still early and there are things the Avs need to work on. Hopefully sooner rather than later a...

Is Nathan MacKinnon already a top five player in Avalanche history? When might we see Byram? Adjustments the Avs need to make against LA

January 21, 2021 08:00 - 25 minutes - 23.9 MB

Nathan MacKinnon is a top three player in the NHL today. But what about his all time ranking within the Avalanche franchise? Is he already, at the age of 25, a top five player in franchise history? Bowen Byram is with the Avalanche and there is a real possibility we see him before the week is over. FInally, the Avs played an up and down game against LA in game 1, what do they have to do to ensure LA doesn't pull within a goal again? Tune in and subscribe! BetOnline.ag Don’t sit on the side...

Avs move Ian Cole to make room for the youth movement. LA makes it interesting, but the Avs hold firm to a 3-2 win.

January 20, 2021 08:00 - 27 minutes - 25.2 MB

The Colorado Avalanche had been rumored to be shopping defensemen Ian Cole to make room for the plethora of d-men they have in their system, and yesterday they made that a reality. The Avs traded Cole to Minnesota and the Bowen Byram era will begin.....soon. On the ice, the Avs looked good for the most part and had to hold to as their 3-0 lead was trimmed to 3-2 late in the 3rd, but the Avs held on to improve to 2-1-0 on the season.

January 18, 2021 08:00 - 26 minutes - 24.6 MB

The Colorado Avalanche looked pretty bad in game 1 vs the St. Louis Blues, but that is a distant memory after a game 2 blowout. The Avs game out ready to roll and ran over St. Louis to the tune of 8-0. We have all been waiting for Bowen Byram to arrive to the Avs, and that time is now. Byram has been assigned to the Taxi Squad and him getting on the ice should be very soon. Finally, the return of the 3 Stars of the Week (not named Nathan) returns!. Tune in and subscribe!

Not the start we were hoping for. Avalanche drop opening game to the Blues, 4-1.

January 14, 2021 08:00 - 27 minutes - 25.8 MB

The Colorado Avalanche had much excitement surrounding them heading into the opening game of their season, and proceeded to lay an egg against a defensive minded St. Louis Blues team. Colorado looked sloppy, rusty and at times lost. Those issues will correct themselves, but for a fan base that was looking forward to a hot start, they were left defeated. Let's break it all down!

The Avs will have a ball on their helmets. Special team lines are looking scary. Predictions for this season.

January 13, 2021 08:00 - 28 minutes - 25.8 MB

We knew it was coming, and the Avalanche will join the crowd of teams with logos on their helmets for this season. They will also fall in line with what seems to be the trend in having the arena sponsor as the logo. Most fans seems to be fine with that.....for now. The Avs did some heavy work in practice with special teams and we got a clear picture of who will be part of their power play lines, and they look good. Finally, everyone else is doing it so why not throw out a prediction for this...

Avs outdoor game is official. Jared Bednar talks goalies and Byram. Two guys who could really stand out this year

January 12, 2021 08:00 - 29 minutes - 26.6 MB

We heard grumblings about the Avalanche playing yet another outdoor game, and on Monday the league made it official. The Avs will face the Vegas Golden Knights at a Golf Resort in Lake Tahoe on Feb 20th. Hopefully the third time is a charm for Colorado when it comes to outdoor games.

Frankie's got a killer helmet. Timmins looks good in place of Johnson. Rask to the Avs?

January 11, 2021 08:00 - 28 minutes - 26.6 MB

As we get ever so close to the start of a new NHL season, the Colorado Avalanche are full steam ahead minus Erik Johnson, but Conor Timmins has been the player stepping up in practice to take the veterans spot while he is still deemed 'unfit to play'. A Boston sports website proposed a possible mid season trade with the Avs that would send Tuukka Rask to the Avs for a hefty return. I break down why this is a hard NO.

Pierre Lacroix: 1948-2020

December 14, 2020 08:00 - 29 minutes - 26.9 MB

Every Avalanche fan knows how important Pierre Lacroix was to those early years when the team moved from Quebec to Colorado. Lacroix knew how important it was to put a winning team on the ice ASAP. If there was a trade involving a big name, chances are Lacroix was somehow in the mix. He knew how to do his job and he knew how to do it well. When people think of the Colorado Avalanche they understandably think of names like Roy, Forsberg or MacKinnon. People who follow the Avalanche day in and...

Looking back at Patrick Roy's short but revolutionary coaching stint with the Colorado Avalanche

December 11, 2020 08:00 - 30 minutes - 28.3 MB

Patrick Roy was hired by the Avalanche and at the end of his first game let it be known this would be a different era. But it wasn't his rough attitude that caught everyone's attention. It was the opposite. Roy was nothing short of a saint behind the bench, but it was his risky and revolutionary plan to pull a goalie with minutes left that left people on the edge of their seats. He may have only been the Avs coach for three seasons, but they were memorable seasons. Tune in and subscribe as R...
