J.T. Compher season grade with Avalanche

The Colorado Avalanche fought the good fight against the President’s Trophy winning Nashville Predators, forcing the series to go six rounds before finally running out of gas. Don’t look for any ugly in this week’s episode. When writing about an Avalanche team playing deep into April after a historically bad season the year before, there’s not a lot to complain…...

Our weekly look back at what happened in the last seven days of Colorado Avalanche hockey.

The Colorado Avalanche careened through their three-game Canadian road swing as their roller-coaster season continued to bring plenty of Good, Bad and Ugly for the week. Because of the nature of the road trip, TGBU will break with tradition, and cover the elephant in the room first. THE UGLY 1. Nathan MacKinnon’s injury midway through the Vancouver Canucks game can only be…...

The Avalanche beat the Maple Leafs on J.T. Compher overtime goal

The Colorado Avalanche dug deep this past week and ended up with a respectable .500 week. They dug a deep hole during their disappointing homestand, finished it off with an unexpected loss to the struggling Buffalo Sabres, then took their show on the road where they dug out of their disastrous homestand and went on to win two of three…...

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…...

While the Colorado Avalanche homestand has had more dips than highs, there are still lots of interesting tidbits happening on the ice as the youth movement continues its rollicking ride into December. Their early success may have raised expectations, but remember this season is not a merry-go-round year, where everything is smooth and predictable. Young players are still developing and…...

A brief morning skate notebook here, as the Avs host the Dallas Stars for the third time this season, tonight at 6 p.m. Jonathan Bernier will get the start in goal. Bernie has played well of late, so this isn’t a surprise. I do think this will be a very tough game though. Dallas has lost twice in Denver already…...

All the Avalanche drama of the past week covered in this week's The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

Let’s open up the mailbag here, for some Avs talk. What a week eh? Waiting for the Matt Duchene trade turned into the hockey version of “Waiting for Godot”, but it finally happened Sunday night. I know there are lots of questions surrounding the deal and what the results will be down the road, so let’s get started: https://twitter.com/poleary19/status/928075522533404672 Hello…...

Lots of laughs around the locker of Nikita Zadorov today. That’s sarcasm. Definitely not a fun time for the big Russian defenseman again, as he is in that dreaded state of no-man’s-land of being good enough to be on the Colorado Avalanche’s roster, but not deemed good enough of late to play actual games. When Zadorov was a healthy scratch…...
