If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times. Afternoon games are just weird. This year’s Avalanche team has largely bucked convention and just won games anyway regardless of the history of a challenging situation they’ve found themselves in. Today’s 5-3 win over the Buffalo Sabres is much of the same, though it certainly didn’t as easily as…...

While they did eventually do all of that,…...

Nikita Zadorov of the Colorado Avalanche reflects on his NHL career debut in Buffalo as a Sabre

The Kontinental Hockey League is not the laughingstock it used to be to the NHL. While there is little question that the top professional league in Russia is an overall inferior product to the NHL, that hasn’t stopped some top Russian players recently from bolting the NHL for their homeland. There is a chance Avalanche defenseman Nikita Zadorov could…...

Being elite in any discipline can be daunting. The accolades run steady and can carry a person away as if caught in a current. While this can build confidence, it can quickly turn to arrogance and foolishness if not tempered with responsibility and respect for the talent the person possesses. This is never truer than with those who become…...

It was a busy weekend for the Colorado Avalanche, one that saw them ship Ryan O’Reilly and Jamie McGinn to the Buffalo Sabres in a blockbuster deal.

The Avalanche also landed the…...
