Colorado heads into their bye week and the All-Star break on a high note after defeating the St. Louis Blues 4-2 in a game the Avs nearly blew a three-goal lead but eventually held on for the win. Studs Alex Newhook On his birthday, Newhook scored the game’s opening goal on a bit of fantastic play in the neutral zone.…
2023 has not been kind to the Colorado State Rams. After falling to Boise State, 80-59, on Saturday night, CSU has now lost eight of its last 10 games. Now just 2-7 against Mountain West competition, the Rams (10-12) are really reeling in a league that has proven to be even tougher than anticipated. Unlike CSU’s last three losses, all…
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
Their last matchup was another afternoon game on the road. At the time, a struggling Avalanche team pulled out a 3-2 OT victory thanks to Mikko Rantanen’s hat trick heroics. Today, Colorado hosted the St. Louis Blue for another day of hockey. After the disappointing loss of the Anaheim game, Colorado was hungry to leave the failures of that last…
Week 2 of the Broncos’ coaching search wasn’t nearly as eventful as the first, but there appears to be a reason for the lack of action. Multiple reports from various reporters over the past few days have indicated that San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator DeMeco Ryans is either the top candidate or one of a couple of top candidates for…
In the first game of the Gold Pan series, the No. 5 University of Denver Pioneers hosted Colorado College at Ball Arena for the first time. The momentous affair drew 17,952 in attendance. After getting swept on the road against St. Cloud State University last weekend, Denver hoped to get back in the win column. In net for Denver was…
The election of Scott Rolen to the Baseball Hall of Fame on his sixth ballot is a worthy one. Rolen was to his generation of third basemen almost precisely what Nolan Arenado is today: outstanding defender, terrific offensive contributor and a cornerstone player needed for putting together a World Series contender. https://twitter.com/baseballhall/status/1618024554210680833 Arenado has five seasons of 35 or more…...
Colorado’s six-game winning streak ended in disastrous fashion as they took a game they were completely dominating via process and leading 3-1 in and threw it all in the trash can with a terrible 15 minutes that allowed the Anaheim Ducks to win 5-3. Studs Sam Girard A goal and an assist tonight are the headlines, but both points are…
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

Junior Days are events hosted by college programs where prospective recruits who are in their junior year of high school or earlier, have the opportunity to meet the coaching staff and visit campus. Coach Prime is doing his best to flip Colorado’s roster…
In less than two months, free agency will open and the Denver Broncos will decide where to blow their cash. Linemen? Linbackers? A new safety? Don’t be suprised if they go after a star running back. Bare with me. Javonte Williams, the Broncos’ current top dog, is a worthy starting back but his knee injury is not a simple one.…
Aaron Gordon – A- It was surprising to see Gordon listed as available for this game. Four starters were taking the night off between injuries and a demanding schedule. In that scenario, one might have imagined Gordon would follow suit. He’s laboring his way to the all-star break. Still, there he was when the game tipped off. If AG needed…
The Colorado Avalanche brought an old friend back to the fold as they completed a trade with the San Jose Sharks. Matt Nieto and defenseman Ryan Merkley are now members of the Avalanche organization while Jacob MacDonald and Martin Kaut head to San Jose to continue their careers.

The University of Denver Pioneers are set to play game one of their Gold Pan series this weekend at Ball Arena for the first time ever. The Pioneers are no stranger to such a big stage. The program hosted an outdoor game in the Battle on Blake in 2016, the Loveland Regional at Budweiser Events Center, and their most recent…
Colorado’s winning streak hit six games with their 3-2 victory over the Washington Capitals. It turns out winning is more fun than losing. Studs Alexandar Georgiev I sure do keep putting goalies in this spot a lot, don’t I? Colorado has gotten elite goaltending from their duo this year so I feel pretty justified in showing them love. Georgiev was…
