Colorado will not go quietly this year. Artturi Lehkonen leading the way in forcing a Game 7 in what has been an extremely difficult series. Goals from Mikko Rantanen and Erik Johnson were also critical. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROiAfbl9xFQ
The Avs cannot continue to make their life more difficult then it needs to be. Fantastic plays from Mikko Rantanen and quality goaltending will only get them so far. As a team they must play better. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWK8zw52sNg
With 5 of 6 goals coming from Nathan MacKinnon, Cale Makar, and Mikko Rantanen this was the best game of the playoffs for the Avs stars so far. Tack on a shorthanded goal from JT Compher and the Avs take care of business despite some of their shortcomings. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8xsgI6wCmc
Better late than never. The Colorado Avalanche finally showed up to the series starting with the second period of this game. Led by Artturi Lehkonen, Val Nichushkin, and Devon Toews the Avs make it a series against the Kraken. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kP0u7x_DaTA
A night full of mistakes with even Colorado’s only goal coming from Mikko Rantanen whiffing. If this isn’t the floor Colorado could be in serious trouble VS Seattle. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Br4EDTSI1M
With three straight losses, the Avs will have to pull some escape artist magic to claw their way back into the series. Or they could simply remember where they left the key. https://youtu.be/Y_iiuBFdm78
Outplayed and defeated for the second game in a row the onus is now on the Colorado Avalanche to prove who they are. A top team in the league? Or just another second-round wash-out? https://youtu.be/x7s3AcqgrRw
The last five regulation periods have been a struggle for the Avs. Yet, it’s clear that if the Avs can get back to playing even decent hockey this series is theirs for the taking. https://youtu.be/iA_wXFXHmxg
The first OT of the playoffs for Colorado ends with a positive as the Avs remain undefeated 6 – 0. Big Moose Mikko had to bring out his final form. https://youtu.be/-2h_I4TdHaA
For the first time since 2001 the Avs have swept a playoff opponent. That will hopefully stand as just accomplishment number one as the push through the playoffs this season. https://youtu.be/ow96eqfr-zs
The Avs extend their series lead to 3 – 0 off of a dominant depth performance including a game-winning goal from Alex Newhook. With sights set on the grand prize, the magic number is now 13. https://youtu.be/DrdnqSavNak
Nathan MacKinnon is worthy. When it comes to the playoffs no one in his generation comes close. The Avs have no choice but greatness when he is their driving force. https://youtu.be/aXTkdYb_yQM
The Avs start the playoffs on the right foot crushing the Blues 4 – 1 in game one. Gabe Landeskog shows his versatility as a leader providing everything the Avs need from scoring to grit and leading by example. https://youtu.be/1Ekl4D_9RII
As many of you are (painfully) aware, the Avs lost 5-4 to the Dallas Stars in Game 7 of the NHL’s second round Friday afternoon. After coming in as a heavy favorite, the team not only failed to end the series quickly but came up short in the end. How did a roster with so much promise, one that finished…...
Welcome to the offseason. Not injuries, not luck, not the hockey gods. Just Avs. https://youtu.be/f81A9WB2xdg
Through injuries, bad bounces, questionable calls, poor play, and more the Avs have found a way to force a game seven. We go again. https://youtu.be/tPuAgcrbnps
Avs square the series at three thanks to these three standouts (and honorable mention to Nathan MacKinnon). https://youtu.be/1vxQfRmBKkY
The Avs offense broke out against Ben Bishop and kept them alive in the series as they ran away with Game 5. https://youtu.be/87M_tfPMue8
The Avs have put themselves on the verge of elimination and they have no one to blame but themselves. https://youtu.be/jt4nMxuO41Y
