Do or die, now or never, lose and go home. Whichever cliche you wanted to use, they applied to this game. The Colorado Avalanche went into Climate Pledge Arena on the brink of elimination, looking desperately to find a way to win Game 6 and send things back home for a decisive Game 7. This series has felt like a…
The drama that surrounds a Game 4, in any round, of the Stanley Cup Playoffs is among the most exciting and intense moments of every series. No matter what, Game 4 always starts with one team trying to take a commanding lead in the Best-of-7, while the other is trying desperately to get the series back to even. That was…
It’s always fun to be a part of history, and that was exactly what we had on Saturday night in Seattle. With the series tied 1-1, Game 3 of Round 1 between the Colorado Avalanche and Seattle Kraken marked the first-ever home playoff game for the Kraken, and one of these teams was going to walk out with a lead.…
A season for the Colorado Avalanche that somehow seems like it started just last week, while also feeling like it has been going since the Summer of ’69 is finally drawing to a close. The Avs welcomed in the Winnipeg Jets for the final home game of the regular season, and despite its outcome having huge implications on the Central…
It was a beautiful spring-like day in Denver, and we had some afternoon hockey to go with it! The Colorado Avalanche came into today’s matchup with the Arizona Coyotes looking to bounce back after a lackluster performance two nights ago against the LA Kings. It’s been such an interesting season for the Avs, in terms of their results. At times…
Studs Nathan MacKinnon MacKinnon is just on another level right now. He is taking over games at will and is racking up the points left and right. The other thing MacKinnon is doing lately is setting the tone and acting as the emotional heart beat of this Avalanche group. That’s normally a role we see filled by Captain Gabe Landeskog,…
One of the most interesting parts about covering a team that is in the middle of a title defense season is the number of otherwise normal nights that suddenly have an extra level of significance. Nights like the Colorado Avalanche playing their first game back in Tampa Bay since winning the Stanley Cup there in June. Or going back to…
After what felt like an eternity of a week with no games on the schedule, the Colorado Avalanche entered the final stage of what has been the weirdest chunk of scheduling I’ve seen in quite some time. The third set of back-to-back games in last 10 days from the Avalanche, all with multiple days off in between. Something Andrew Cogliano…
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…
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…
Playing with house money. That’s a gambling phrase that means you’ve put yourself in a good enough position that you are playing with little, to no risk at all. The Colorado Avalanche were playing with house money on Saturday night when they wrapped up their three-game road trip against the Seattle Kraken at Climate Pledge Arena. After a two(ish) week…
Good afternoon! I absolutely love me some matinee hockey, and that was what we had today as the Colorado Avalanche welcomed in old rival, the Detroit Red Wings. It’s no secret that the rivalry is nowhere near what it used to be, especially on the ice. I remember the days where you could feel the tension in the crowd. There…
After the Colorado Avalanche absolutely stole one from the Carolina Hurricanes last Thursday, we, mentioned on the podcast that all the Avs needed to do right now was go .500 on the road. Given all of the injuries to key players, the best and easiest way for the Avs to keep their head above water is to continue to stay…
What a week. This has been a funny last few months for the DNVR Avalanche crew. We went from a dead sprint during the Stanley Cup Final and the week or two after, to a nice quiet offseason for about six weeks, then all at once last week we were back at full-go. It has been great to be back…...
The Vegas Knights announced that Robin Lehner will miss all next season. What will that mean for the Knights and the rest of the Western Conference? Also, the fellas answer your burning questions about the Avalanche, themselves, and everything else you ask them. Join AJ, Jesse, and Meghan as they discuss all things hockey on today’s show.
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…...
They say that the fourth and final win you need to close out a Stanley Cup Playoff series is the hardest one to get, and the Colorado Avalanche got a good reminder of that as they were looking to put the Nashville Predators in the rearview mirror and move on to Round 2. It was a tentative crowd inside Bridgestone…...
The thing we love about playoff hockey is the drama, and Game 3 between the Colorado Avalanche and the Nashville Predators had no shortage of it. Now, we’re going to get into the details of the game, but we have to start with what ended up being the biggest story of the night, and that’s Darcy Kuemper. With just about…...
This game had such an interesting feel to it starting at morning skate. On one hand, you had the Colorado Avalanche, who were rested, and sitting comfortably atop the Central Division. Their main focus the rest of the way is fine tuning the details of their game as the postseason approaches. On the other, the Los Angeles Kings. Playing for…...
What a game we were treated to in Denver on Saturday afternoon. The matinee matchup between the Colorado Avalanche and Pittsburgh Penguins was one of those games that you could tell just a few minutes in that, regardless of the outcome and who you were cheering for, it was just going to be a fantastic hockey game to watch. It…...
