Avalanche Trade for G Alexander Georgiev. Signal End of Darcy Kuemper in Colorado
July 08, 2022 07:00 - 33 minutes - 30.8 MBJoe Sakic met with Darcy Kuemper and his agent Wednesday. Many believed that was the beginning of negotiations that would eventually lead to the Stanley Cup winning goalie to come back to the Avs and continue to be their starting goalie. About 24 hours later, Sakic and the Avalanche announced a trade that sent three picks (3rd & 5th this year. 3rd next year) to the New York Rangers in exchange for Igor Shesterkin's backup, Alexander Georgiev. It's a risky move for the Avalanche considering...
Colorado Avalanche 2022-2023 Schedule is Released. Andre Burakovsky's Season Grade!
July 07, 2022 07:00 - 40 minutes - 36.8 MBAnd we are already on to next season! The NHL released the full season schedule for next season and there are some interesting dates and times for the Colorado Avalanche. We now know that the Avalanche will welcome the Chicago Blackhawks to Ball Arena on their opening night to raise their Championship banner to the rafters. Win or lose that game, the Avs won't have much time to celebrate the banner since they play the very next day in Calgary. Nothing like starting off the season with a bac...
Cogliano Signs. EJ Has No Plans to Retire. Nichushkin and Kuemper Top Priorities. Fleury Rumors Fly!
July 06, 2022 07:00 - 36 minutes - 33.2 MBWith everyone focused on the Colorado Avalanche bringing back their big name free agents like Nazem Kadri and Val Nichushkin, the Avs made their first move of the off season in bringing back a player they acquired at the trade deadline this past season. Andrew Cogliano signed a one year deal for $1.25 million to stay and defend the championship in Denver. We also got word that Erik Johnson, who many thought could take the high road and walk away following a Stanley Cup win, will in fact NOT...
Avalanche Superfan Producer Drew of Sportsnet Joins the Show! Nicolas Aube-Kubel's Season Grade
July 05, 2022 07:00 - 43 minutes - 39.7 MBHe may work with Toronto Maple Leafs superfan Steve Dangle, but Producer Drew Livingstone of Sportsnet roots for the Colorado Avalanche. If you haven't seen his celebration video when the Avs won the Cup, it is a must watch. Drew, like all of us, were filled with excitement after the Avs sealed their Stanley Cup victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning and he joins us to share his experience. Drew also shares his thoughts on the pending Avalanche UFA's and who he thinks will stay and who will g...
Kadri Looking for Fair Market Value. Avs Who Played Through Injuries. Parade Day!
June 30, 2022 07:00 - 33 minutes - 30.5 MBI guess the off-season is officially underway! Nazem Kadri was a guest on a sports show and stated that while the Colorado Avalanche are first on his list of teams to sign with, he has "shown what his worth is". The Avalanche clearly want Kadri back, but will this be a situation where the two sides are so far apart he moves on? Or can Joe Sakic continue to work his magic at the bargaining table? We also take a look at some injuries we are just starting to get clarification on. We knew Darcy...
Avalanche Already Favorites for Next Year. Should They Be? Looking at the UFAs. Who Stays, Who Goes?
June 29, 2022 07:00 - 39 minutes - 36.1 MBWhile we are clearly still in celebration mode and will be for a while, it's always a good thing to look forward and guess what is to come for this Avalanche team next season. Vegas already loves the Avs chances to repeat as they are the favorites to do it again. The question is should they be? Why are teams who win a championship immediately the favorites for next season when a pick hasn't been drafted or a free agent has been signed? And for the Avalanche, there's a lot of signing to do....
We Go Through the Avalanche Stanley Cup Handoff Order and Look at What it Means to Each Player
June 28, 2022 07:00 - 42 minutes - 39 MBHave we come down from the clouds yet? We haven't. One day after the Colorado Avalanche secured their 3rd Stanley Cup in franchise history, the emotions are still on high. The images coming out of the Cup's journey from Tampa and Denver has been exciting to see, and it's just getting started as we all wait for the victory parade on Thursday. For today's episode, we thought we would take a look at the order in which the Cup was passed around to the Avalanche players, and then look at that pl...
Mission Complete! The Colorado Avalanche are the Stanley Cup Champions!!!
June 27, 2022 05:59 - 37 minutes - 34.7 MBThey did it. They really did it. The Colorado Avalanche had one mission at the beginning of the season. It wasn't to win the Presidents' Trophy, it wasn't to get out of the 2nd round of the playoffs, it wasn't for Gabriel Landeskog's hair to look like Fabio flying in the breeze. It was to win the Stanley Cup. And on June 26th, 2022 the Avalanche did just that. The turnaround this team had after the horrible 2016-2017 season is something teams will look at as a blueprint to how to go from bo...
CROSSOVER #4: Avalanche Can't Close Out the Series in Game 5. We're Headed Back to Tampa
June 25, 2022 04:51 - 41 minutes - 38.1 MBEverything was right where the Avalanche wanted it to be heading into Game 5. Avs up 3-1 in the series, back on home ice, the Stanley Cup in the building. But the Tampa Bay Lightning came to play and put everything they had into Game 5 to take a 3-2 win on a late 3rd period goal. Now the series heads back to Tampa for Game 6 on Sunday where the Avalanche will have their second chance to put an end to the series. Both teams had good and bad moments. There were times it seemed like the Avalan...
CROSSOVER #3: Adam Denker from Locked on Lightning is Back to Talk Game 4. We Look Ahead to Game 5
June 24, 2022 07:00 - 37 minutes - 30.3 MBGame 4 was easily a classic so we had to bring Adam back to get his take on how the Lightning are feeling after the OT loss to the Colorado Avalanche. Are Lightning fans as upset over the too many men on the ice as coach Jon Cooper is? How much are the Lightning relying on past experiences to keep the series alive? We also take a look ahead to tonight's all important Game 5. Can the Avalanche end this on home ice and raise the Cup in front of their home fans? Predictions are made! Fun is h...
Nazem Kadri With the OT Winner to Give the Avs a 3-1 Series Lead. Avs Can End it Friday in Denver.
June 23, 2022 05:15 - 34 minutes - 31.4 MBNazem Kadri was never going to miss the Stanley Cup Finals in their entirety. He wasn't even going to come back for a one off and just be there for the end. He wanted to get back on the ice ASAP and make a mark on this series. Boy, did he. A classic of a game that saw both the Colorado Avalanche and Tampa Bay Lightning going back and forth, headed into overtime for the second time this series. And just like the first time the Avalanche went home the winner. This time it was Kadri, playing i...
Cale Makar Wins the Norris Trophy. Joe Sakic FINALLY Nominated for Best GM. Grades from Game 3.
June 22, 2022 07:00 - 34 minutes - 31.5 MBThe final vote was oh so close, but Cale Makar beat our Nashville Predators Roman Josi as the leagues best defenseman to take home the Norris Trophy. It is the first ever Norris won by a member of the Colorado Avalanche or Quebec Nordiques. Makar was also named to the first team NHL All-Star Team. Joe Sakic has been ridiculously absent from a nomination for the Jim Gregory Award for the leagues best GM. That came to an end this year as Sakic was finally among one of the three finalists, wh...
Mistake Filled Avs Drop First Game in Final, 6-2. Is a Goalie Change on the Horizon?
June 21, 2022 05:19 - 39 minutes - 35.9 MBIt started off not so bad, but then it just went downhill fast and the Avalanche could not recover. The Tampa Bay Lightning took advantage of an out of sync Colorado Avalanche squad and do what good teams do, made them pay for it. But the Avs scored two goals before the Lightning scored one. The only problem was one of the Avs goals was recanted after a challenge and a Val Nichushkin goal was reversed for the Avs being offside. Bad turnovers, struggling to get the puck out of the defensive...
Avalanche Annihilate Lightning, 7-0. Take a 2-0 Series Lead in the Stanley Cup Final
June 19, 2022 06:00 - 34 minutes - 27.9 MBWow. Well that was fun! At least for Avalanche fans. The Colorado Avalanche went out and played like a team possessed against the two time defending champs in the Tampa Bay Lightning. So much went wrong for Tampa while absolutely everything went right for the Avs. If there was any question about if the Avs could beat a top tier goalie, those questions have all been collected, stuffed into an envelope and locked away in a case sunk to the bottom of the ocean. All seven goals were against the ...

June 17, 2022 07:00 - 39 minutes - 36.6 MBAdam Denker of Locked on Lightning is back again for a special Stanley Cup Crossover! Adam gives us his thoughts on the Game 1 Avalanche OT victory. What he thought of the Anthony Cirelli tripping penalty on Cale Makar and what adjustments the Lightning need to make for Game 2. Chris and Kyle discuss the same as far as any adjustments the Avs need to make, and they also discuss the wide discrepancy between the two teams in regards to time on ice. The Lightning were much more balanced than t...
Burakovsky Nets The OT Game Winner To Give Avs 1-0 Series Lead in the Stanley Cup Final
June 16, 2022 05:54 - 34 minutes - 31.4 MBIt's no secret Andre Burakovsky has had his ups and downs this season with the lowest point being a healthy scratch in a a few games this postseason. But this is why you always have to be ready when called upon. Just over one minute into the OT session, Burakovsky was in the right place at the right time and he used that leathal wrist shot and perfect placement to get one past Tampa goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy and send the Avs faithful home with a 1-0 series lead. The Avalanche came out hot ...

June 15, 2022 07:00 - 43 minutes - 40.3 MBIt all goes down tonight! The Colorado Avalanche and the Tampa Bay Lightning square off in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final.

June 13, 2022 07:00 - 38 minutes - 35.4 MBThe Tampa Bay Lightning finished off the New York Rangers Saturday night, giving the Colorado Avalanche their opponent in the Stanley Cup Finals. The Avalanche are looking to win their third championship in franchise history while attempting to keep the Lightning from winning their third straight title. This is the matchup we all wanted. The NHL included. From a ratings standpoint, this should be a home run. So many talented, skilled players on both sides along with the Lightning going for ...
How We Got Here. Looking Back at Important Moments From the 2021-2022 Season....And the Duchene Deal
June 09, 2022 07:00 - 41 minutes - 37.8 MBAs you are well aware, the Colorado Avalanche are awaiting their opponent to face to battle it out for the Stanley Cup. You don't get to this point of the season without some memorable moments along the way. So since we have some time before Game 1 kicks off, why not go back and take a look at some of them. Opening night seemed so far away at this point, but it did happen and the roster for that night looks oh so different than the roster the Avs have today. Maybe we expected that, but we d...
SPECIAL EPISODE: Avalanche Fans Join the Show!
June 08, 2022 07:00 - 57 minutes - 45.8 MBToday we are joined by three Avalanche fans we have come to know well thanks to the Twitter Spaces events Kyle runs during games. Nik, Lisa and Brittini are all Avalanche fans in their own right and we asked them to be part of this special episode so they could share their experiences and excitement as Avalanche fans. We discuss their reaction to the Avs closing out the Edmonton Oilers which sent the Avs to the Stanley Cup Final, their early memories of being an Avs fan and we also get their...
The Colorado Avalanche Are Headed to The Stanley Cup Finals!!!
June 07, 2022 05:01 - 39 minutes - 36 MBThis was playoff hockey at it's finest. The Colorado Avalanche found themselves down 3-1 after two periods with all the momentum going the way of the Edmonton Oilers. They needed a spark. They got it in the form of a first shift goal by Devon Toews that set the tone for a wild and crazy 3rd period. When regulation was over, 60 minutes was not enough as the game headed into overtime tied at 5. We talk a lot about Joe Sakic and how he seems to make all the right moves. Nabbing Arturri Lehkone...
The Colorado Avalanche Are On the Doorstep of the Stanley Cup Finals. Lead Edmonton Series, 3-0
June 05, 2022 07:00 - 35 minutes - 32.9 MBThe Edmonton Oilers were playing their best hockey of the season heading into this series with the Colorado Avalanche. The only problem with that is so are the Colorado Avalanche. After taking both games at home in Denver the Avalanche traveled north for Game 3 in Alberta. Like they have done so many times in these playoffs, the Avs gave up the first goal of the game. This time from Connor McDavid himself in the first minute of the game. Edmonton had everything going for them. Then Evander...
Pavel Francouz Shuts Out the Edmonton Oilers. We All Saw That Coming, Right?
June 03, 2022 07:00 - 34 minutes - 32 MBA 14 goal output in game one naturally leads you to believe not much would change for Game 2. Not when you have two offensive minded teams in the Edmonton Oilers and the Colorado Avalanche, and backup goalie Pavel Francouz in net for Colorado. Francouz is a very capable backup and Avalanche fans were very confident they could win Game 2 with him in net. But you would be lying if you said Frankie was going to put up a goose egg on the Oilers. But he did. While Francouz was busy shutting down...
Can We Expect More of the Same in Game 2? Who Starts in Net For Both Teams? Game 1 Grades
June 02, 2022 07:00 - 37 minutes - 34 MBIt's a good thing there is a day off in between playoff games. Hopefully all of you used that time to decompress and take some meditation classes. But be prepared for more of the same in Game 2. Mike Smith will in all likelihood get the start for the Oilers after getting pulled in Game 1. For the Colorado Avalanche it is a little less certain. We don't know the full extent of the health of Darcy Kuemper. We do know he took himself out of the game due to blurry vision. If that has cleared up ...
Avalanche Win Wild Game 1. We Expected Goals, But This Many?
June 01, 2022 07:00 - 37 minutes - 34.8 MBWe jokingly said that if you were a betting fan, bet the over in the Avs / Oilers game 1 matchup which was set at +/-6.5, That was eclipsed by the 2nd period. The Colorado Avalanche and the Edmonton Oilers put on an offensive show Tuesday night with the Avalanche hanging on to an 8-6 win, even though they were up at one point 7-3. No lead will be safe in this series. For the Avalanche there is the added question mark of starting goalie Darcy Kuemper. Kuemper left the game in the 2nd period ...
CROSSOVER EPISODE: WCF Breakdown. Brett Holden from Locked on Oilers Joins the Show
May 31, 2022 10:08 - 46 minutes - 42.5 MBThe stage is set. Storylines abound in this one. Two of the leagues most gifted players will face off in the Western Conference Finals. Will Nathan MacKinnon get to his first ever Stanley Cup finals, or will it be Connor McDavid? Which teams goalie will hold up best against two teams that have top end offensive abilities? Can the Avs top D pairing of Cale Makar and Devon Toews slow down McDavid and Leon Draisaitl. Can Edmonton handle the dept of the Avs? Brett Holden of Locked on Oilers jo...
Darren Helm Scores With 5 Seconds Left to Send the Avalanche to the Western Conf. Finals
May 28, 2022 11:27 - 34 minutes - 32 MBThe Colorado Avalanche won't have to hear about those 2nd Round demons anymore, or that Game 5 meltdown. The Avalanche had to go into St. Louis and win for the third time on their ice to close out the series. But it wasn't without theatrics. In another game that saw the Avalanche in control for the majority of the game yet again, but also trailing heading into the 3rd period, the Avs had to do what St. Louis did in Game 5 and mount a comeback. Boy did they. The depth was the star last night...

Looking Forward to Game 6 to Forget About the Events of Game 5
May 27, 2022 07:00 - 39 minutes - 36.3 MBGame 6 cannot come fast enough for the Colorado Avalanche and the fans. The best way to put the events of Game 5 out of our memory is for a solid performance in the very next game. This Avalanche team can accomplish that. Are changes needed? Is Darcy still the guy in net? How much blame is on Bednar? Of everything this Avalanche team has been through, injuries, COVID, all those second round exits. All of it is piled on to the mountain of motivation. Chris and Kyle get to all this and more ...
Avalanche Throw Away Brilliant MacKinnon Performance, Blow 3-0 Lead. Lose in OT to Blues 5-4.
May 26, 2022 07:00 - 31 minutes - 29 MBIt was right there. In their hands. And the Colorado Avalanche let the Western Conference Finals slip away, at least for a game. While still leading the series 3-2, one can't help but wonder if the hockey gods are playing jokes on the Avs to get past the second round. You could not have asked for a better start. For the first time in the series the Avalanche scored first and they kept the pressure on in scoring the the first three goals of the game. But St. Louis played like their season wa...
NHLPA Makes Statement on Comments Towards Kadri. Perron Fined For Cross-Check. Was That Enough?
May 25, 2022 07:00 - 34 minutes - 31.3 MBThe NHLPA came out and issued a statement regarding the comments of the St. Louis Blues fan base towards Nazem Kadri and his family. It's what you would expect from a sports league or a players union. It's also what you would expect from individual teams. Which is why it remains shocking that the St. Louis Blues, as of this recording, have yet to make a sound about what their fans are saying to Kadri. It's shameful. David Perron was fined $5k for his cross-check hit on Kadri, but nothing be...
Avalanche One Win Away from WCF Thanks to a Special Night from Nazem Kadri
May 24, 2022 07:00 - 36 minutes - 33.2 MBThis is what makes sports so great. Nazem Kadri had a rough 24 hour period, where the worst of the worst emerged to sit down at their keyboards and throw horrible racists comments towards Kadri, blaming him as the reason Jordan Binnington will miss the rest of the 2nd Round. Kadri waited for his chance to respond and that response came on the ice where finished with a four point night including a hat trick. A lot still needs to be done off the ice to curb the people who feel they have the ri...
Avalanche Take 2-1 Series Lead, But Focus Is On Kadri, Binnington and a Water Bottle
May 23, 2022 07:00 - 38 minutes - 35.5 MBWe should start by saying the Avalanche did the most important thing in Game 3 against the St. Louis Blues and that was win the game, giving them a 2-1 lead in the series and taking back home ice. Now that we have that out of the way Game 3 in all likelihood will be a tipping point in the series. Up until now both teams have been pretty much on their best behavior. But two plays in Game 3 speak to a different tone. The first was Samuel Girard getting checked hard into the boards by Ivan Bar...
Avalanche Drop First Game of Playoffs in Disjointed Effort. Lose 4-1 to St. Louis. Series Tied 1-1
May 20, 2022 07:00 - 35 minutes - 32.5 MBWell the Colorado Avalanche were going to lose a game at some point in the post season, and you could argue you would have rather they lost in this fashion since it doesn't hurt as bad as a close game or losing in a playoff OT game. The Avs looked disjointed for most of the game. Some of that is to the credit of the St. Louis Blues who played a much better game than they did in Game 1. We knew this was going to be a dog fight and a chess match and the Blues moved their pieces in a much diffe...
CROSSOVER EPISODE: Thomas Welch From Locked on Blues Joins the Show!
May 19, 2022 07:00 - 40 minutes - 37.3 MBWe might be a game into our series with the St. Louis Blues, but sometimes that is the best time to meet up with the host of your opponent. Thomas Welch, one half of the Locked on Blues crew, joins Chris and Kyle for a special crossover episode to discuss how things went in game one for their respective teams and what to look forward to in the rest of the series. Did the loss to the Blues change the way Thomas looks at the series or does he think St. Louis can make the proper adjustments to...
Josh Manson is Game 1 Hero With the Overtime Winning Goal. Avs Start Series With Thrilling Win.
May 18, 2022 07:00 - 31 minutes - 28.8 MBThe Colorado Avalanche showed no rust as they took the ice for the first time in a week against the St. Louis Blues in Game 1 of their second round matchup. The Avs completely dominated for the vast majority of the game, but Blues goalie Jordan Binnington kept the Blues from getting run out of the arena. And when a hockey games goes into OT, anything can happen. Luckily, it happened for the Avalanche as Josh Manson fired a shot from inside the blue line that found it's way past Binnington a...

May 17, 2022 07:00 - 35 minutes - 32.6 MBRound two is upon us! The wait is over. The Colorado Avalanche are set to take on the St. Louis Blues tonight in game 1 of their second round series.

Round Two Preview. Where Do The Avs Have The Advantage Against St. Louis?
May 16, 2022 07:00 - 35 minutes - 32.8 MBThe Colorado Avalanche have been waiting patiently while their fan base waits impatiently to hear when exactly Game 1 against the St. Louis Blues will happen. Coach Jared Bednar stated he heard the series would start on Tuesday but there was also the possibility it could start Wednesday. No matter when it starts it will be the beginning of the round that has haunted the Avs for a few years now. So how do they matchup against St. Louis? The Blues have as much depth as the Avs and can score i...
Has Makar Already Won the Norris Next Year? Will Sakic and Bednar Get Snubbed Again? Best Show Endings of All Time
May 13, 2022 07:00 - 33 minutes - 30.8 MBThe votes must be in prior to the playoffs starting for all the NHL awards, and while Cale Makar is a finalist for the Norris Trophy, the vibe you get is that voters are favoring Roman Josi thanks to his 96 point season. And while votes can't be changed, have voters looked at what happened in round one between the Nashville Predators and Colorado Avalanche, and more specifically Roman Josi and Cale Makar and have that already impacting them for next season? We discuss. We have also gotten u...
Power Ranking Playoff Teams. Our Favorite Avs Sweaters. What Burakovsky Will We See in Round 2?
May 12, 2022 07:00 - 37 minutes - 34.6 MBThe Colorado Avalanche remain the only team to have moved on to the second round of the NHL Playoffs. Us at the Locked on NHL Network polled our hosts to get a power ranking of the teams still playing and Chris and Kyle discuss those rankings. What they agree with, what they don't and where teams could potentially end up. We also take listener questions from Instagram which include our favorite Avalanche sweater ever? Since we lived through the Avs two championships, what does that feel lik...
Will Newhook Play in Round 2? Who You Want: Blues or Wild? Which Candy is Most Throwable?
May 11, 2022 07:00 - 34 minutes - 31.4 MBThe Colorado Avalanche have some time to kill as they wait for their next opponent in the St. Louis Blues or Minnesota Wild. Chris and Kyle discuss who they feel the Avs match up better with, but does that metric line up with who they would actually like to see the Avs play? We also take a look around the Western Conference and the other series that are still taking place. The Avalanche didn't seem to get the memo that their series should be tied at 2-2 since most of the other series were. ...
Break Out The Brooms! Avs Take Care of Business in Nashville. Sweep Predators in Round 1
May 10, 2022 05:50 - 35 minutes - 32.2 MBFor the second time in as many years the Colorado Avalanche swept their first round opponent in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. This time the Nashville Predators were the victim and now the Avs wait for their second round opponent which we know will be another division rival in either St. Louis or Minnesota. For the first time all series the Avalanche trailed to the Preds, but Colorado didn't panic, continued to play their game and found not one, but three more goals in the 3rd period to seal the...
Avalanche on Verge of Another 1st Round Sweep. The Darcy Kuemper Accident...Yes, Accident
May 09, 2022 07:00 - 34 minutes - 31.8 MBFor the second time in as many years the Colorado Avalanche are on the verge of sweeping their first round opponent. Last year the Avs took care of the St. Louis Blues in four games, this year they could do it to a different division rival in the Nashville Predators. The Avs have been nothing but dominant in this series and there is zero reason to believe that won't continue in game 4. The Avalanche threw 42 shoots on goal in Game 3 and 51 the game prior. That is a lot to ask of a rookie go...
Avalanche Threw Everything They Had at a Rookie Goalie, Makar to the Rescue to Win It In OT. 2-1.
May 06, 2022 06:29 - 36 minutes - 33.2 MBA lot has been talked about involving the Nashville Predators goalie situation with Juuse Saros out for at least the first two games. Game 1 did not go well and ended with with starter David RIttich getting pulled after allowing five goals. Backup rookie Connor Ingram entered and did enough to warrant a start in Game 2. Even though we are an Avalanche podcast, what that young goalie did was nothing short of miraculous. The Avs had possession for what seemed like the entire game and even thr...

May 05, 2022 07:00 - 35 minutes - 32.6 MBWe have talked on several occasions over the course of the season on how Nazem Kadri has been on his best behavior throughout the season. Sure he has his fair share of penalty minutes, but the vast majority of those minutes are due to the hard style of hockey he plays. You aren't seeing the overly aggressive, looking for a fight Kardi. And just look at what it has done for him this season. Amassing a career high in points. Kadri wrote a letter in the Players Tribune yesterday and it covered...
Could You Ask For a Better Start? Avalanche Blow Out Predators, 7-2. Take Early 1-0 Series Lead
May 04, 2022 07:00 - 40 minutes - 32.1 MBThe Colorado Avalanche have been waiting for this moment since last year's playoff exit. It may only be one game, but getting off to a fast start was exactly what the Avalanched wanted and it is exactly what they got.
