Without Gabe Landeskog and Sam Girard in the lineup that just means more room for the other Avs stars to shine. With Nathan MacKinnon leading the way anything feels possible for Colorado. https://youtu.be/c75ODce1gQA
It had been over a week since I was last at an Avalanche game, since I didn’t make the multi-stop trip back East for the three-game road trip, and it was so nice to be back in the building. Coincidentally, the last time the Colorado Avalanche were at home, it was against these very same Calgary Flames in what was…...
Regardless of the context, blowing a three-goal lead is something that should never happen, full stop. It’s a fate the Avs had managed to avoid up to this point but they finally had to pay the piper. https://youtu.be/u_EXy7kecoA
The Avs get the two points and that’s almost certainly the only thing anyone not named Tage Thompson is going to remember about this game. The Avs exerted the minimum effort required to get the W. https://youtu.be/UGAuOO4k1LQ
A 2 – 0 win in a quality, complete game from both teams is just another notch in the Avs and Darcy Kuempers belt. Even against top-quality competition, the Avs high-end talent cannot be stopped. https://youtu.be/NMvXOUaeW4I
The Avs make it 10 straight wins as they cruise past buffalo in an easy one where talent was the key difference. At this point, any problems this team has are easy to overlook. https://youtu.be/XtbK5qlsU-4
Full disclosure: this game was a little bit of a disappointment for me. The Colorado Avalanche came into this game against the lowly Buffalo Sabres with a chance to extend their winning streak to 10 straight games, and an opportunity to push their home winning streak to an absurd 18 consecutive wins. While they did eventually do all of that,…...
The Avs get their 16th straight win at home and finally one that felt pretty routine. With quality goaltending and defense for most of the night the Hawks never really got into this game. https://youtu.be/EWbrDDRvTNI
This morning, Colorado Avalanche head coach Jared Bednar said that he thought the team’s play has dipped a bit lately due to fatigue, which makes sense given the Avalanche are in the middle of an extremely condensed schedule ahead of next week’s All-Star break. In an attempt to remedy the issue, Bednar and his staff gave the team a day…...
An exhausted Avalanche team left it up to Darcy Kuemper to get them to a victory in LA and Kuemper passed the test with flying colors. With a bit of good fortune to create some goals that Avs point streak increases to 11 games. https://youtu.be/ql6H5R5CBTs
A game that’s hard to feel comfortable about still ultimately ended in an Avalanche win. With a bit of controversy on both sides, the Avs and Pavel Francouz deserve credit for getting the job done. https://youtu.be/v_7Io0fTtIs
The Avs made short work of Arizona in the SEGABAB, leaning on their top-end talent to punish the Coyotes heavily. With clean defensive play, this was one of the most straightforward wins of the season. https://youtu.be/qGwv4mHG458
In my opinion, what made the game-changing Too Many Men call earlier this week in Nashville extra disappointing was that the Colorado Avalanche went into that game with a chance to claim the top spot in the Central Division had they won. They let that opportunity slip away but had another chance this weekend to climb to the top of…...
The Avs win a game in which they look dominant on paper but via the eye test left a lot to be desired. While the Avs can afford to cut corners against a team like Arizona it’s not something they should make a habit of. https://youtu.be/ahwt5oBvYIY
A four-assist night from Mikko Rantanen keeps the Leafs and 4 – 1 forever entwined with disaster. A game that will likely be one of the best comebacks of the decade for the Avalanche. https://youtu.be/Z53dVVZEIcE
A twelve-point night with five goals including a hat trick from the three-headed monster is enough to strike fear into the strongest defensive teams. All three players are capable of changing a game in an instant. https://youtu.be/yQIN6IVZ86c
The Avs mark their third quality win against a good team in the last four. As the top forwards find their groove the Avs continue to get quality scoring from their depth options even with a weakened defense. https://youtu.be/8Y_nCUmvJhI
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
Logan O’Connor cannot be stopped, the Avs offense continues to vibe at an unprecedented rate with a depth scoring bonanza. They make short work of the New York Rangers and round out the road trip on a high note. https://youtu.be/ghqB-Jlf7ak
