The Avs had the much-awaited explosion of goals everyone has been waiting for but are also facing down a glaring problem. https://youtu.be/x4yzD8VBiss
After another blown lead, the Avs are staring down a serious question mark at the backup goalie position. Hunter Miska may have played himself out of a job in this game. https://youtu.be/qEh3e_MtORs
There are some game stories I’m just not sure what to say. Every win and loss is a team effort. They don’t just fall out of the sky, you know? Sometimes, though, it’s hard not to go into this wanting to single a player out because one truly abysmal performance stood out among the rest. We’ve seen a bunch of…...
A three-point night from Nazem Kadri and goals from key contributors Rantanen and Burakovsky made for what should have been an easy win for the Avs. When you are playing a third-string goaltender sometimes things get spooky. https://youtu.be/7kVaTZOQVf8
Goalies, man. They’re weird, unpredictable creatures even in the best of times. If you look at the numbers right now, goaltenders with a save percentage under .900 include Sergei Bobrovsky, Braden Holtby, Tuukka Rask, Carey Price, Robin Lehner, Carter Hart, and Ilya Sorokin. That’s a lot of hardware and two of the brightest young goaltenders in the game today. Even…...
The Avs come up short in overtime in part two of a back to back against the Wild, but the far bigger concern is Nathan MacKinnon’s injury status. https://youtu.be/yPY624ru9Wo
The way winning always papers over flaws is one of the more charming aspects of sports to me. When the outcome is what you set out to achieve, how you got there ends up being a justified journey, even if it wasn’t perfect. See Tuesday night’s win against Los Angeles as a good example of that for the Avalanche. They…...
The Avalanche announced this morning (or late last night if you were paying attention to social media) the club had come to terms with Tyson Jost and Hunter Miska on new contracts. Jost’s deal is his qualifying offer, a one-year contract worth $874,125 next year before he becomes a restricted free agent again. Miska’s two-year deal is a two-way contract…...
Gamesmanship is always one of the more interesting subplots to follow during any playoff cycle. Coaches not tipping their hand about lineups, player injuries being kept secret, it’s all a game organizations love to play in the effort to protect what they view as vital information for as long as possible. In the bubble environment where media is not allowed…...
LOVELAND, CO – It’s been a great week for Mark Alt and all his respective families: the one with the football community in Kansas City and the other representing Colorado hockey. On Saturday night, Alt scored the second goal in the Eagles improbable 4-3 overtime victory against the San Jose Barracuda, the first such win for the club this season after…
In a game eerily reminiscent of one last March, the San Jose Barracuda came into the Budweiser Events Center the night after a loss to emerge victorious in a lopsided affair to snap a Colorado Eagles’ winning streak. Last season, it was an embarrassing 9-0 loss at the hands of the Sharks’ top affiliate that erased nine consecutive wins; on…...
