Pierre-Edouard Bellemare – C+ Simply put, the problem with Bellemare this series was that he was asked to do too much. As a fourth line center, he is fine. The struggle of Compher’s line this series forced him into the role of third line center, as he played more than JTC at even strength. He scored the big goal to…...

Welcome to the offseason. Not injuries, not luck, not the hockey gods. Just Avs. https://youtu.be/f81A9WB2xdg

In 2014, there was a deafening “ping” when Nino Niederreiter ended Colorado’s season with a Game 7 overtime winner. In Edmonton tonight, there was just silence. Dallas got a hat trick from Joel Kiviranta, including the series-winning goal in the first overtime period to end Colorado’s season in a 5-4 heartbreaker in Game 7. For Avs fans, the way the…...

In a historic episode of TDSP, Andre Simone is joined by an All-Star panel of DNVR reporters to discuss a variety of sports topics in the Mile High City. With AJ Haefele, Drew Creasman, Zac Stevens and Harrison Wind, AJ gets us set for the Avs big Game 7. We also go over the Nuggets wild week coming back from…

Through injuries, bad bounces, questionable calls, poor play, and more the Avs have found a way to force a game seven. We go again. https://youtu.be/tPuAgcrbnps

Avs square the series at three thanks to these three standouts (and honorable mention to Nathan MacKinnon). https://youtu.be/1vxQfRmBKkY

The Avs offense broke out against Ben Bishop and kept them alive in the series as they ran away with Game 5. https://youtu.be/87M_tfPMue8

Pierre-Edouard Bellemare – A Heck of a game from Bellemare, who got the party started early in the first period and the Avs never looked back. Great play by him to one-time that across his body, and not let Bishop get set coming across. He was buzzing all night long. Andre Burakovsky – A That’s one way to stick around…...

The Avs have put themselves on the verge of elimination and they  have no one to blame but themselves. https://youtu.be/jt4nMxuO41Y

Pierre-Edouard Bellemare – D Bellemare’s line was fine at even strength in terms of numbers. His penalty kill work, however, was less than ideal, as he was out there for all three of Dallas’ power play goals. He even managed to toss in a penalty of his own. Andre Burakovsky – D Burky picked up a couple of assists on…...

One of those hockey sayings you hear all the time is that you can’t win a game in the first period but you can certainly lose one. Tonight was the obvious night to apply that to as the Dallas Stars came out smelling blood with their 2-1 series lead and not wanting a repeat of Game 3 where they had…...

Allie Monroy is joined by an All-Star panel of DNVR reporters to discuss a variety of sports topics in the Mile High City. With AJ Haefele, Drew Creasman, Zac Stevens and Harrison Wind, the squad talks about Avs and Nuggets knocking in much needed wins to stay alive in their respective series, Rockies ending their losing streak and the Broncos are…

An absolute blast of a hockey game that could go down as a wild moment in the series, it’s all broken down here but it still takes a back seat to the things that are important. https://youtu.be/xBle22ccnOQ

Pierre-Edouard Bellemare – B- The Avs PK had some high-effort shifts, led in part by Bellemare with some key face-off wins and some diving clears to get the puck out and get a line change. Andre Burakovsky – A I loved everything about Burakovsky’s game. He was moving his feet, carrying the puck with confidence, and most importantly, letting the…...

A tough one to judge, ultimately the Avs have made this series harder than it had to be. https://youtu.be/LOY1oXzXUqQ

I don’t even know what to say. Colorado had complete control of Game 2. They were leading 2-0 and controlling play. They were in a rhythm and playing well. There was intensity, effort, everything you wanted after a team played a bad Game 1. One extremely weak slashing call on Sam Girard, followed seconds later by Corey Perry freely slashing…...

Sometimes it’s not the guys with the stick that have a high impact. https://youtu.be/CxNBuXTm3t0

Pierre-Edouard Bellemare – C- The fourth line was okay. They looked better with Nichushkin on it than it did with Namestnikov. Bellemare, unfortunately, lost the face-off right before the Pavelski power-play goal that changed the game. Andre Burakovsky – F Burakovsky is a shooter who had the most inopportune times refuses to shoot the puck. His pass to Compher in…...

Outside of the top line the Avs let the Dallas stars capitalize on far too many mistakes https://youtu.be/u6LEd-WjmTc
