Despite a loss, the Avs pick up one crucial point in their push for the top spot in the Central Division. Given the look of the roster, this L should be considered a quality performance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G16ttDbH70c
With the Trade Deadline fast approaching the DNVR Avalanche crew brings you a series of videos on potential trade targets for Colorado. Starting off with Jesse Puljujarvi from the Edmonton Oilers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynFns6OYPWM
A SEGABABA and spotting Edmonton three goals was apparently all part of Colorado’s plan on the path to their best comeback of the season. Nathan MacKinnon, Mikko Rantanen, Artturi Lehkonen, and JT Compher all played critical roles in the Avs W. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChFjABd19jU
Finally back at it. Before we get into this matinee matchup between the Colorado Avalanche and Edmonton Oilers, I want to give a huge shoutout to my DNVR Avalanche colleagues. I took these last several days off to go spend some time with a long-time friend, and Meghan, AJ, and Rudo pinch hit for me and knocked it out of…
Nathan MacKinnon finally looks like he’s 100% and at this rate, Cale Makar may actually play 100% of a game. The Avs are able to break their skid with some star power and finally a good bounce or two. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfztY4FnrTs
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…
In the quickly changing landscape of the Pacific division, Alberta looks to be in the driver’s seat but which teams are in the playoff picture? Can the California teams be relevant or will we see the younger teams take a step? https://youtu.be/cO0VEDgpAUo
The Avs are in the Stanley Cup Final. That pretty much sums it up until the final round begins. https://youtu.be/eEUj3MkQJSM
The Colorado Avalanche are going to the Stanley Cup Final. When I first started covering the team during the 2016-2017 season, I never ever would have thought I’d be typing those words just five years later. This group… the resilience they’ve shown all playoffs, the adversity they’ve had to overcome all season, and their will to win has gotten to…...
You may be convinced you could hold your breath to the bottom of the Marianas trench after that. The Avs defeat Edmonton for the third straight game to take a vice grip hold on the Western Conference Finals. JT Compher has chosen the right time to get hot. https://youtu.be/YQaZNzUbItE
Alright, before we get started on the game itself, I’ve gotta give some love to the folks here at Rogers Place. This building is amazing. State of the art top to bottom, and absolutely beautiful in every sense of the word. Literally everything you’d want in a hockey rink, I couldn’t be more impressed. Really the whole city of Edmonton,…...
The Avs take a 2 – 0 series lead in what was probably the best executed game of the playoffs for far for Colorado. The 2nd line and the backup goaltender bother showed out in the game of twos. https://youtu.be/Iia4JKRfAnk
Ahhh, yes. The backup goaltender storyline, we meet again. Backup goalies and quarterbacks are often joked about as the most popular players in town because while the number one guy is in the spotlight, there’s always that section of people clamoring for the next guy in line. The grass is always greener, you know? Well in a conference finals with…...
Everyone was expecting superstar power in this series and Game 1 was chock-full. The Avs ultimately got scoring from everywhere in the lineup to take down a win in a 14-goal game where defense and goaltending were more suggestions than anything else. https://youtu.be/qAEOddwn62s
Whew. That game was… well it was something. Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals kicked off Tuesday night in Denver and it was one to remember. The Colorado Avalanche held on to claim a 8-6 win over the Edmonton Oilers in a fast-paced, wide-open thriller of a hockey game. There’s so much to get into in this one that…...
Where in the world do you even start trying to break down the Western Conference Finals between the Colorado Avalanche and Edmonton Oilers? The star power between Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl, Nathan MacKinnon and Cale Makar alone is absurd. Consider that had NHL players gone to the Olympics this past February, three of those four players easily could’ve been on…...
Depth is really important in the NHL, but I would venture a guess that on at least seven out of every 10 games that an NHL team plays, the results will follow how a team’s best players do. In tonight’s 6-3 loss to the Edmonton Oilers, we saw Colorado’s best players fail to really show up and impact the game…...
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
Nicolas Aube-Kubel – D I don’t really have much on NAK tonight. It was a quiet night but when you spend the entire game in your own zone defending, it’s tough to make too much of a mark, I suppose. Andre Burakovsky – C I really liked Burakovsky last night but tonight was really all the bad stuff in his…...
You already know the platitudes I’m going to throw at you after tonight’s gutsy 2-1 win in the shootout by the Avalanche over the Edmonton Oilers. On the second night of a back-to-back in which they flew in from Winnipeg following their overtime tilt last night to play a rested team in their own barn who needs the points in…...
