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…
The Vegas Knights announced that Robin Lehner will miss all next season. What will that mean for the Knights and the rest of the Western Conference? Also, the fellas answer your burning questions about the Avalanche, themselves, and everything else you ask them. Join AJ, Jesse, and Meghan as they discuss all things hockey on today’s show.
The Colorado Avalanche Are your 2022 Stanley Cup Champions. https://youtu.be/4pYYzoPKLHU
We knew we might be on borrowed time with him. For some, it’s a welcome relief to learn Darcy Kuemper will be a UFA this summer. With the offseason set to begin sometime in the next five days, the conversation that was once reserved for a later date is fast approaching. I’m not here to have that conversation just yet.…...
The dream is within reach as Nazem Kadri lifts the Avs to a 3 – 1 series lead with an OT goal for the ages. Colorado gutted out a crucial win and now only needs to do what they’ve done best this year. Close. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSXqWY0VBYU
As the Avs skaters start to ramp up towards the playoffs Darcy Kuemper has been battling a bit. With a loss placed squarely on his shoulders is it something to be concerned about or can it be brushed off? https://youtu.be/zE9FE1a8HcM
Despite a lack of offensive punch the Avs found a way to survive the Edmonton onslaught and pull out a W in the shootout entirely thanks to Darcy Kuemper and Nathan MacKinnon. When those two are at their best it’s all the Avs need. https://youtu.be/YPG3-TmBu0w
Even with a depleted lineup, the Avs find massive value in their forward core and goaltending, particularly when it comes to special teams. Finding ways to win in this form is just another feather in the cap of the best team in the west. https://youtu.be/njcYDcI5PnM
Without Gabe Landeskog and Sam Girard in the lineup that just means more room for the other Avs stars to shine. With Nathan MacKinnon leading the way anything feels possible for Colorado. https://youtu.be/c75ODce1gQA
A 2 – 0 win in a quality, complete game from both teams is just another notch in the Avs and Darcy Kuempers belt. Even against top-quality competition, the Avs high-end talent cannot be stopped. https://youtu.be/NMvXOUaeW4I
Jack Johnson – C+ He’s being asked to do maybe a little more than you’d ideally like him to with Bowen Byram out of the lineup, but I really do think his play has been trending upward lately and I liked his game for the most part tonight. Erik Johnson – C- I just want him to settle into his…...
The Avs kick off the post All-Star break stretch with a statement win in a game that showed off some of the best the NHL has to offer. With Elite goaltending getting them across the finish line the Avs may finally be at their best. https://youtu.be/evdRQoZkjIQ
Woah baby, talk about a heavyweight tilt. I mean seriously, who wouldn’t want seven games of what we saw tonight? Tonight’s game between the Colorado Avalanche and the two-time defending Stanley Cup Champion Tampa Bay Lighting is one that I personally have had circled on my calendar for a while now, and I think it would be safe to say…...
An exhausted Avalanche team left it up to Darcy Kuemper to get them to a victory in LA and Kuemper passed the test with flying colors. With a bit of good fortune to create some goals that Avs point streak increases to 11 games. https://youtu.be/ql6H5R5CBTs
The Avs made short work of Arizona in the SEGABAB, leaning on their top-end talent to punish the Coyotes heavily. With clean defensive play, this was one of the most straightforward wins of the season. https://youtu.be/qGwv4mHG458
In my opinion, what made the game-changing Too Many Men call earlier this week in Nashville extra disappointing was that the Colorado Avalanche went into that game with a chance to claim the top spot in the Central Division had they won. They let that opportunity slip away but had another chance this weekend to climb to the top of…...
Two nights ago, when the Colorado Avalanche beat the Chicago Blackhawks in an overtime thriller, we talked on the DNVR Avalanche Postgame Show about how the Avs have been impressive this season in their ability to win in a variety of different games and situations. Well, that was on display again tonight. After a back and forth first period that…...
Jack Johnson – D Pretty average Jack Jonnson night, honestly. The Avs were sloppy all night, he got beat out from behind the net for the first goal, and that bumped him down grade-wise. Erik Johnson – D- The sharp decline is here. Erik Johnson has become problematic for this team when he plays like he did tonight. The play…...
The Avs finally win a game that doesn’t qualify as a blowout, and while it was full of flaws the Avs completed the job they were tasked with and now sit on a winning streak. https://youtu.be/qZKTT5rWdIs
A determined victory against a desperate team? Another win where the Avs just scrape by an inferior opponent? One more nail in the coffin of the Travis Green era in Vancouver? Another blown Avalanche lead? A third-period comeback victory? It seems to me that whatever angle you want to view the Colorado Avalanche’s 4-2 victory over the Vancouver Canucks in,…...
