Third game of a three-game roadtrip that did not get off to the start the the Colorado Avalanche were hoping. After dominating in Pittsburgh, a late push from the Penguins led to a 2-1 OT loss. Two nights later it was a brutal night in the team’s first visit to Tampa Bay since they hoisted the Stanley Cup in Amalie…
The Panthers, Lightning, and Leafs remain the teams to beat in the Atlantic but could we see these teams take a step back this season or will they continue to control the East? https://youtu.be/v-GjIOE_Iek
The regular season has mercifully come to an end and while the picks in this column limped to finish line, much like the Avs, I’d like to believe it was for the same reason – We are both just ready for the playoffs to begin. Did we win as much as we wanted? No. Were our straight wagers hot garbage…...
Every team in the league is officially at the 10 games or less mark, and we are going to take a look at what exactly every team has left to play for the rest of the way. You’re going to notice a bit of a theme in this piece. Teams at the top are going to be primarily focusing on…...
Well here we are, no more wondering, we’ve seen all the moves teams made. Some are vastly improved, some made great decisions for the sake of their franchises, and other stood pat to watch their process play out. Oh, and one traded a player they weren’t allowed to trade. No matter what, to was a busy week for all 32…...
Power Rankings are back! I will be tackling Power Rankings every week, so kick off your weekend every Friday with the latest version of how I see the league. I’m starting it off with just kind of where everyone is at to this point in the season, but starting next week each team’s recent performance (how they did that week…...
Hat trick number two on the season comes from Andre Burakovsky in impressive fashion against the Florida Panthers. As the only Avs goal scorer in the game, every goal was massive in the Avs win. https://youtu.be/KKJXXTbO6Q4
Wow. What. A. Game. The Colorado Avalanche knocked off the NHL’s top team, the Florida Panthers, 3-2 in a Sunday night thriller at Ball Arena. This is the type of game that hockey junkies, like myself, live for. It was fast, physical, exciting, and both teams were executing. The Avalanche handed the Cats just their fifth regulation loss of the…...
The Avs didn’t play the worst game in the world, but it wasn’t anywhere close to good enough. And that’s about enough of that. https://youtu.be/5rXQ6P-xieM
Given the Avs roster, an overtime loss isn’t so bad from this game but the way they went about it was brutal. https://youtu.be/4mI_XagIQe8

Jared Bednar doesn’t come into the Avalanche dressing room too often right after games. Most coaches don’t, ceding the time and turf to players to absorb what they’ve just been through. But there was Bednar, a few minutes after the Avs had beaten the Florida Panthers 2-1, looking for his goalie. Bednar extended his hand to Semyon Varlamov, which was…...
If you hear the dynamite going off in downtown Denver these days, don’t be alarmed. It’s not the sound of the Denver Broncos blowing up the embarrassment their roster has become but rather one-man demolition squad Nathan MacKinnon blowing up another team’s gameplan to slow him down. After a disappointing end to an otherwise positive road trip, the Colorado Avalanche…...
SUNRISE, FLA. – The Colorado Avalanche snapped a four-game losing streak Saturday night at the BB&T Center (formerly known as National Car Rental Center, Office Depot Center and BankAtlantic Center) with a 7-3 drubbing of the Florida Panthers. The Avs played 11 forwards, seven defensemen and one goalie. How did they fare? Let’s take a look… Gabe Landeskog (B) – He played…...
SUNRISE, FLA. – A plastic rat was thrown on the ice late in the game here at BB&T Arena. That used to signify good things for the Florida Panthers. Old-school hockey fans probably remember when thousands of the little critters used to fill the ice at Panthers games after goals (look it up, kids, as to the significance of it). On…...
