Nathan MacKinnon drops a goal and two assists playing next to Jonathan Drouin who adds two assists of his own as the Avs get past the Anaheim Ducks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Cka_-4J2rE
The on-ice product created by back-to-back hockey games is simply not up to the standard it should be for the NHL. One team trying to play as little hockey as possible creates terrible games. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dj7pEUe0aM
Another two-goal Bowen Byram game that the Avs don’t win. Not that weird but weird that it’s happened twice. Zero pucks in the net from MacKinnon, Rantanen and the rest of the forwards feels like a glitch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wERqmAZ4IQ
You may have just watched the best player in the world score on his own net. You also saw some pretty good hockey from guys like Miles Wood and Nathan MacKinnon. Plus a whole bunch of weirdness. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kf2vc422Ljs
The Avs are putting it all together depth scoring from Ryan Johansen, Cale Makar being Cale Makar, special teams functioning on both ends, Alexandar Georgiev standing on his head, and more. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HX65YMj52kQ
Kurtis MacDermid with the game-winning goal, not something you see every day but it sure is fun. Key plays from Colton and Nichushkin alongside some key saves from Georgiev helped set the stage for the hero. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ax0nzaKapks
A two-point night for Cale Makar tops Quinn Hughes and the Avs come out ahead of the Vancouver Canucks thanks to goals from Nichushkin, Drouin, Tufte, and Rantanen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27ZDnbnrjlw
Studs Cale Makar The guy was awesome tonight right up until the moment he wasn’t. He had three assists and was driving play in a way nobody else on Colorado’s team was. His skating was on point and he was using his legs to cause problems and his puck-moving was, well, good enough for three more assists tonight. Makar was…
While there are still plenty of issues to clean up scoring six unanswered goals to comeback against the Dallas Stars is no small feat. Wood, Johansen, Nichushkin, Rantanen, Cogliano and Colton all finding the net shows how deep the Avs scoring goes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jgtXia-VVo
Depth goals from Kiviranta, Cogliano, and Colton come in big as the Avs drop eight goals on the Anaheim Ducks. Strong production from Nichushkin, Girard, Johnson, and Toews carried the night. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmi4jsZ9Eio
It was an uneasy start but the Avs ultimately got back on track in dominant fashion. With key goals from Rantanen, Colton, and Makar the Avs managed to add some confidence builders from Drouin and Nichushkin too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIv0koAxMzs
Ivan Prosvetov comes up one save short as the Avs get goals from MacKinnon, Byram, and Nichushkin. Despite a loss the Avalanche played good hockey for the most part but it’s the tiny details that pushed the Kraken over the top. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_4l1njhPdk
Miles Wood comes through with two crucial plays against his old team alongside the Avs stars of Rantanen and MacKinnon to help secure an Avalanche win despite some Ross Colton nonsense. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WPlpl1MrW4
Stupid is as stupid does and when the Colorado Avalanche lose it tends to be because of stupid mistakes. A simple fix or problem that could plague this season? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9O-LmwB3RM
Sometimes you keep it simple, sometimes you just try stuff. When you are Nathan MacKinnon, Mikko Rantanen, and Cale Makar you do what you want. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymOzToJ3eFw
This game was better than the last game…I guess. The Avs had another low-effort loss that was pretty disappointing. At least nobody got hurt, that’s something. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BB-sgqD6K8M
The Colorado Avalanche played about as badly as they possibly could in this one. Scoring was hardly even a thought as they struggled to string two passes together in what is hopefully the worst game of the season. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JFNAfBP_yE
The Avalanche have been the best 3rd-period team in the league to start the season. From top to bottom, they are closing out games with quality from all of their skaters. Rantanen and Georgiev are posting particularly impressive numbers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29cQyOuphKU
A 4-point night from Mikko Rantanen leads the way as the Avs drop a touchdown in New York. The Avs’ top players had the offense turned up to 11 which allowed them to get away with some slopiness on the other end. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1GOM-Ykam4
A four-point night from Artturi Lehkonen helps the Avs to a five-goal second period and a W over the Hurricanes. The Avs continue to show they have the forward depth they were lacking last season. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TovpK4qL7BE
