Jesse’s Observations Avs Give back – My favorite thing about writing this piece every week is the fact that it allows me the opportunity to share some of the fascinating stories that we get to see up close, that maybe go unnoticed by the general public. This past week, when the Colorado Avalanche hosted the Anaheim Ducks, the Avs and…
Playing with house money. That’s a gambling phrase that means you’ve put yourself in a good enough position that you are playing with little, to no risk at all. The Colorado Avalanche were playing with house money on Saturday night when they wrapped up their three-game road trip against the Seattle Kraken at Climate Pledge Arena. After a two(ish) week…
Good afternoon! I absolutely love me some matinee hockey, and that was what we had today as the Colorado Avalanche welcomed in old rival, the Detroit Red Wings. It’s no secret that the rivalry is nowhere near what it used to be, especially on the ice. I remember the days where you could feel the tension in the crowd. There…

Jesse’s Observations: JT Compher has been Clutch It’s a contract year for JT, and to this point, he is setting himself up for a nice little payday next summer. Compher has always been the Swiss Army knife of Colorado’s forward core. Able to moonlight in the top six is a center who can play on the wing if necessary (though…
Ok, we’re not going to do any of the fluff to start this piece off. The Colorado Avalanche were coming into their game against the Edmonton Oilers losers of five straight, and maybe the worst loss of this current skid came just two nights ago when the Avs blew a 2-0 lead to the struggling Vancouver Canucks. Colorado needed to…

Happy New Year! Here we are, New Year’s Eve, starting down the calendar officially flipping over to 2023. Seriously almost unbelievable. It was a week for the Colorado Avalanche that saw them end up on the wrong side of multiple disappointing outcomes in very winnable games. They needed a bounce back. They needed, at bare minimum, a mental boost and…
Residents of the Denver Metro area woke up this morning to find a thick layer of wet, heavy snow blanketing their cars, streets, sidewalks, and pretty much everything else. It was a winter storm that was definitely expected, but maybe a little under-promised. As all pro-winter folk avoid mentioning when trying to defend this frigid season, the storm made the…
The 2022 Rapids season was one to remember for the DNVR Rapids crew. There were many downs, but there were also many highs. Drew Moor said his farewell to professional soccer, while Diego Rubio tied the Rapids’ single-season scoring record. The last-minute heartbreaks against Houston will live on with us as well as the beatdown the burgundy boys received in…
The Colorado Rapids have had a busy week so far. They were able to acquire Calvin Harris from Cincinnati FC for only 200k in GAM. What position will the 2020 MLS Superdraft selection play?

The Colorado Rapids are at the focal point of the MLS once again. They traded for LA Galaxy bust Kevin Cabral in a surprise move. Does this mean the end of Gyasi Zardes’ time as a Rapid? Also, Neymar and Brazil bow out of the World Cup thanks to Luka Modric and Croatia. What does that mean for the rest…

Weston McKennie was everywhere for the US squad while England’s prodigy Jude Bellingham disappeared for long periods of time. Join Andre Simone, Ryan Koenigsberg, Yahir Vazquez, and Mitchell Carroll as they break…
There’s always a fun vibe in the air when you’re at Ball Arena for a Colorado Avalanche game the night before a major holiday. I can’t really describe it, but it’s kind of like the energy that everyone had for a “last day of school” assembly. Add in the fact that the Avs were coming into their matchup with the…...
After the Colorado Avalanche absolutely stole one from the Carolina Hurricanes last Thursday, we, mentioned on the podcast that all the Avs needed to do right now was go .500 on the road. Given all of the injuries to key players, the best and easiest way for the Avs to keep their head above water is to continue to stay…
1. Rough start for a couple of former Avs It has been a tough last couple of off-seasons for Avalanche fans who grow closely attached to some of the team’s players. Some real fan favorites have gone out the door over the last two summers. Obviously winning a Stanley Cup takes almost all of the sting out of losing those…

Good evening folks! Been a minute since I’ve written one of these, and I wanted to spice it up a bit versus what I normally do for my game stories.
