Well, who saw this one coming? Picked up in a deadline day swap back in 2018, Ryan Graves was looked at purely as a depth defenseman who would hopefully regain some of that promise he had after putting up 30 points in the AHL as a 21-year-old. He didn’t exactly light the world on fire in Colorado, as he put…...

Avalanche captain Gabriel Landeskog recently went on one of Sweden’s more popular hockey podcasts, NHL-Timmen, with host Linus Hugosson. The conversation covered a wide range of topics and one of our readers, Robin Fredriksson, was kind enough to translate it into English. You can find the podcast here and Hugosson here. This particular episode can be listened to here but…

With the NHL season currently on pause, we decided to look back at the 70 games that actually got played and remember the things that have already happened. This roundtable features the primary three faces of the DNVR Avalanche in AJ Haefele, Evan Rawal, and Nathan Rudolph. Best moment AJ: Colorado’s “other” win against Nashville , a 3-2 road win,…...

When the Avs signed Valeri Nichushkin on August 19 in the dead of the summer, it was met with a lot of skepticism (myself included). Why did the Avs, as deep as they had been in years, decide to take a chance on a struggling player? Why would they block younger players already in the organization? Why was this reclamation…...

Welcome to the weekly Avs mailbag, where we answer whatever Avs questions you have on your mind. If you have any questions for the mailbag, leave them for Evan Rawal on twitter or respond in the comments. https://twitter.com/Avalangelist/status/1239339192762511360?s=20 I doubt it comes down to something like this, but if it did, I am pretty sure the Avs organization would not hesitate…...

If that’s the game the season has to end on, I’m ok with it. https://youtu.be/JVdGD4IXmv0

How can you not be romantic about sports? Sports have given the world so many good underdog stories of the years that it’s become impossible not to get the warm and fuzzies when you see another one. What the Colorado Avalanche did tonight won’t go down in those same annals of motivational history but it doesn’t lessen that we nonetheless…...

Mark Barberio – C Barbs once again did not play much, but had a good chance in the first and broke up an icing late in the game. He even dropped back to defense to kill a penalty in the third. Pierre-Edouard Bellemare – B Bellemare playing in overtime is not something I ever anticipated seeing, but he even picked…...

Time to go into the options and turn injuries off. https://youtu.be/2osDxpq2FOc

Mark Barberio – D Barberio played forward again in this one, and I’m not sure why. The Avs scratched two forwards to do it. He barely played, at five minutes, and that’s with MacKinnon missing the final half of the game. Pierre-Edouard Bellemare – B Bellemare grinded it out in this one. His goal was flukey as can be, but…...

There was a game tonight, yes. The Avalanche had a chance to tie the St. Louis Blues for first in the Central Division for the second time this road trip but once again came up short. This loss was completely unlike the one against Vancouver over the weekend as that was a high-scoring affair with lots of scoring chances. This…...
