The few pieces the Avs have seen return to health have been enough to get them playing winning hockey. Lehkonen’s versatility in the top six led the Avs to finally get some varied scoring. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29Y377Iy4pQ
It’s hard to argue against the Avs’ defense as the best in the league and somehow they may be poised to have an even better season than the last. With pieces like Byram and Girard ready to ascend it could become one of the greatest defenses ever. https://youtu.be/UX_9v7_9xAo
The Avs are in the Stanley Cup Final. That pretty much sums it up until the final round begins. https://youtu.be/eEUj3MkQJSM
There aren’t a lot of moments in hockey I can earnestly say I’ll never forget. Kadri’s hat trick in this game has absolutely earned that status. The Avs continue to finish business taking a 3 – 1 series lead back home for Game 5. https://youtu.be/I1E8EbAc4_o
Despite a scary moment with Darcy Kuemper the Avs continue to make the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs look routine. With Gabe Landeskog leading the way Nashville is unable to keep up. https://youtu.be/eVbFe7C5ogg

Sometimes a whole bunch of hockey talent is fun to watch, and even shorthanded by injuries they have plenty of talent. With an impressive ability to respond the Avs win round one of the battle of Cole Harbour. https://youtu.be/c97Ime4E8dY
Two goals and a three-point night from Cale Makar leads the Avs in a win that was much stronger than the final score indicates. Back to business as usual for Colorado as they remain on top of the league. https://youtu.be/3BKhuPN_V5E
Sometimes games get away from you. The Avs drop a winnable one against the Arizona Coyotes but it’s a good reminder that there are two teams on the ice trying to win every night. https://youtu.be/OSxlgzMwa7Q
We talked on the DNVR Avalanche pregame show about how there was an expectation that the Colorado Avalanche would come out looking for some revenge after having their franchise record-setting home win streak come to an end at the hands of these very same Arizona Coyotes. It’s easy to look at this matchup and think, “oh yeah, this will be…...
The Avs lean on defensive production to notch their 11th comeback win of the season on a night where the high-end talent was on full display. Even when trailing in the third period the expectation is starting to become that the Avs will win. https://youtu.be/_2RP_Cnbjls
Regardless of the result, this game was endlessly annoying. Ok, maybe not “endlessly”, that third period was pretty awesome for the Colorado Avalanche, but they had to battle through it a bit to get there. There were a lot of really cool, fun storylines that surrounded this game, so that’s where I’m going to start, but what we saw on…...
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
2022 appears to be the year of the comeback as the Avs do it in the third period for the fourth time in five games. Nazem Kadri being the critical piece to the puzzle for Colorado this time. https://youtu.be/H4k470dEJ1A
A four-assist night from Mikko Rantanen keeps the Leafs and 4 – 1 forever entwined with disaster. A game that will likely be one of the best comebacks of the decade for the Avalanche. https://youtu.be/Z53dVVZEIcE
After seventeen days the Avs finally returned to action and managed to secure their first comeback victory of the season despite an extremely rust-ridden performance. https://youtu.be/qPwttZThyow
This morning during media availability, everyone who came to the podium was asked about the rivalry that so many say is one of, if not *the* best rivalry in the history of sports. Each one of them, including Darren Helm who played 14 seasons on the other side of this matchup, said that it wasn’t something that they thought about,…...
The Avs are right back to chaotic hockey as they manage to squeak a point out of Ottawa. With problems hitting them before the game even began the uphill battle was not made any easier by the reffing but the loss still ultimately falls on the Avs own faults. https://youtu.be/Rb14_GPQEdo
The Avs finally played to the best of their ability…without Nathan MacKinnon. An easy victory is exactly what doctor dubs ordered but this needs to be the start of something more for Colorado. https://youtu.be/F6ptlaOk0PY
