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
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
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
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 takedown a fairly routine victory en route to their fires shutout of the season. Georgiev continues to be one of the best goalies in the league so far this year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vdr7M8b_-w
Goalies, eh? Every year going into the season, you know there are going to be a couple of games that you lose because the opposing goaltender just refuses to give in. On the flip side, you know you’re going to steal a couple of games because your goaltender is the one locked in. You can pretty easily argue the Avs…
This Avs loss was not for lack of opportunity but Colorado certainly lacked finish as one too many chances got away from them in a game you could argue they played better than St. Louis in most categories. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSE_-3NrxCE
The Avs kicked off their regular season in excellent fashion with a dominant win over an admittedly bad Blackhawks team. With the top line and PP units doing the heavy lifting the Avs got to manage their legs on the front half of a back-to-back. https://youtu.be/afD3L89ZeV4
With the Avs season set to begin tomorrow, the Avs top-6 has seen some major changes but is still led by its core staples. Can MacKinnon, Rantanen, and Landeskog turn the Avs into a dynasty? https://youtu.be/UQs-Jpmk4mQ
Because it’s me and y’all know how I love digging up a number/stat and calling it a “fun fact” (sometimes they aren’t so fun), I decided to lead off my first postgame piece this season doing the same thing. So… Fun fact! Artturi Lehkonen has more games played in the postseason than regular season as a member of the Colorado…...
Part of the wider appeal of free agency across all sports is finding out which players you’ve definitely heard of have decided to come to play for the team you root for/cover/occasionally watch and how they’ll fit into the conversation. Free agency is uniquely fascinating because not all teams have the same goal. Some teams are in the heart of…...
What more could you ask from Game One of the Stanley Cup Final? Banger game, all world plays, big finish a full series of that is a dream for fans with no rooting interest and a rollercoaster for those who do. https://youtu.be/f1bvXp3OiTY
The Avs are in the Stanley Cup Final. That pretty much sums it up until the final round begins. https://youtu.be/eEUj3MkQJSM
The Avs take a 2 – 0 series lead in what was probably the best executed game of the playoffs for far for Colorado. The 2nd line and the backup goaltender bother showed out in the game of twos. https://youtu.be/Iia4JKRfAnk
A solid all-around game marred by injuries on both sides sees the Avs come out on top to take a 2 – 1 series lead. With production coming from every forward line the Avs seem to outmatch St. Louis. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgCPyXJygmM
Despite a scary moment with Darcy Kuemper the Avs continue to make the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs look routine. With Gabe Landeskog leading the way Nashville is unable to keep up. https://youtu.be/eVbFe7C5ogg
