A fantastic game from the Avs’ depth forwards like Logan O’Connor, JT Compher, Alex Newhook, and Ben Meyers. The Avs are able to hold on to an early lead despite some third period struggles. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6zq_y8M1RI
The Avs find another way to collapse despite a two-goal lead, multiple soft goals from Francouz, and some major defensive weaknesses betrayed a quality game from Mikko Rantanen and Sam Girard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nD8c2ki74Q
There is now no doubt Jared Bednar is the best coach in franchise history. With goals from Artturi Lehkonen, Andrew Cogliano, and Alex Newhook Colorado was able to defeat Alex Ovechkin and the Capitals. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rtlt-HCVbkU
Whether it’s centering Andrew Cogliano and Logan O’Connor or moving up to play with Artturi Lehkonen and Mikko Rantanen, Alex Newhook is becoming a key piece for Colorado. Nathan MacKinnon’s shootout put the Avs over the top. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPbpN-OEshE
Wins are starting to look routine, getting the usual scoring from players like Mikko Rantanen and Val Nichushkin in your top six is a solid base. Add in-depth scoring from Andrew Cogliano and Brad Hunt and you’ve got something cooking. Back it up with a rock-solid goalie performance from Alexandar Georgiev and that’s a W. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgCMJ_OjKk8
Even without Cale Makar the Avs can come out and take it to any team in the league. The two Finns have led the way for Colorado over what is now a winning streak. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uU2mogSB7Oo
Colorado Snow Bunga dominate Detroit Red Bunga. Much puck go net Snow Bunga have many good play. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2WlA68mK7I
Seven goals including multi-goal performances from Rantanen, Lehkonen, and Newhook lead the Avs to their biggest win of the season. Finally a spark of life inside an organization that has been on the struggle bus. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JduGQnRgESg
Play better. There’s nothing more to say. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odL5VS4YPWY
Nathan MacKinnon finally looks like he’s 100% and at this rate, Cale Makar may actually play 100% of a game. The Avs are able to break their skid with some star power and finally a good bounce or two. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfztY4FnrTs
The Avalanche seem to have finally hit their boiling point in an implosion loss to the Vancouver Canucks. It’s plain for everyone to see that it needs to be better. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzXslKWQLuo
The Colorado Avalanche came out of the Christmas break on their heels, and let a weaker Arizona team get the better of them. With critical issues in their own zone they never had a chance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CED5Z3uh4_Y
In a game that saw the puck cross the goal line exactly once and even that took a shootout attempt to happen the Avs played a much better game than the scoreboard reflects. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_5Cq3hoMKM
The few pieces the Avs have seen return to health have been enough to get them playing winning hockey. Lehkonen’s versatility in the top six led the Avs to finally get some varied scoring. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29Y377Iy4pQ
Some days you are the moose, some days you get moosed. Today Mikko was the big moose. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=meZEBfRgc90
The best and healthiest team in the league versus the most injured team in the league. What did you expect? https://youtu.be/ZVcZKOXOF4M
Could the Nathan MacKinnon injury be the final nail in the coffin for an Avs team that just cannot stay healthy? It certainly was for this game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdJgd0aFMjI
When you have Nathan MacKinnon and he gets depth scoring support the answer to “Can you score away your problems?” is yes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_5Jo-uhpbA
The Avs continue to find ways to win despite being outshot heavily. With scoring coming from unusual places the Avs forwards are finding ways to be effective while relying on Georgiev defensively. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SkCIboi_XeM
The Avs’ injury trouble might finally be catching up with them as they are unable to sustain quality play against some tough breaks. The outlook of the roster continues to worsen and help may still be a ways off. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccuFvifRNVo
