It wasn't pretty, but never apologize for a playoff win. The Avs take a 2-0 series lead with a 3-2 Game 2 win over Arizona

August 15, 2020 07:00 - 37 minutes - 30 MB

The Colorado Avalanche took the best the Arizona Coyotes could give them, and it might not have looked all that great, but the sign of a good team is winning even when it's ugly. That's just what the Avalanche did as they took a 2-0 series lead. Arizona changed up their game plan and the Avalanche did what they had too in order to take a commanding series lead. But don't rest too long because they boys are back at it tomorrow afternoon in hopes to take what would be an insurmountable 3-0 ser...

August 14, 2020 07:00 - 26 minutes - 24.6 MB

The Colorado Avalanche took game one in a pretty one sided affair, so is there anything they need to change in Game 2? Naz Kadri and Coach Bednar speak after Game 1 and I discuss their press conferences. Do the Arizona Coyotes have anything they can throw at the Avs that would get them four wins?

The Colorado Avalanche start their quest for the Cup tonight! Here to hoping it's not a 5 OT thriller!

The playoffs are here and Avalanche fans are blacked out from watching. Avs get no love from their first round start times.

The most incredible draft lottery in NHL history has concluded, but not without some controversy.

Avalanche look like a scary team in win against the Dallas Stars

August 06, 2020 07:00 - 24 minutes - 22.4 MB

The Colorado Avalanche didn't beat the Dallas Stars all year and the question was would the Avs continue to struggle against Dallas in the Round Robin. The answer to that was a resounding no. Colorado was dominant from the work go and if this is the type of team others have to go up against, good luck. However, as good as the Avalanche have looked, they still could finish this Round Robin with the 3rd seed despite them being in the drivers seat for the time being. We discuss all this and mor...

INCREDIBLE!!! AMAZING!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!! And this is just the round robin games! If this wasn't a primer for how these playoffs will go I don't know what is. In a game where the Colorado Avalanche were clearly the better team, it started looking like they were going to be on the short end of the score. Not so fast.

Avs depth is showing. Coach Bednar is displeased. Current line update

July 20, 2020 07:00 - 24 minutes - 22.4 MB

The Avalanche on paper have a very deep team, but were never really able to show that depth thanks to non stop injuries all season long. Now, with a healthy roster the players themselves are starting to see the depth they have. Even so, the normally cool cucumber Bednar was not happy with the teams effort during Saturday's practice and went on a rant that got the teams attention.

The NHL Draft Lottery provided exactly what it was meant to do, provide excitement and randomness to what would other be a lame and boring process.
