Depth goals from Kiviranta, Cogliano, and Colton come in big as the Avs drop eight goals on the Anaheim Ducks. Strong production from Nichushkin, Girard, Johnson, and Toews carried the night. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmi4jsZ9Eio
The Colorado Avalanche returned home after a successful outing in Seattle on Monday night, and Anaheim came to Denver on the second leg of a back-to-back. After an embarrassing loss to the St. Louis Blues in their last game at home, Colorado needed to reinforce their home-ice advantage with a steady performance. In a poetic fashion, the Avs flipped the…
Despite Cale Makar being a transcendent talent and great play out Devon Toews and at times Bowen Byram, the Avs defense wasn’t enough to get them out of the first round, but was it their fault? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=La3EqjxW6NM
We’re going to talk about Sam Girard today. Before we really get going, let’s be honest about something first. If you clicked on this piece and are reading this right now, there’s a pretty good chance you already feel a certain way about Girard. All I ask is that you follow along in being curious about the player and put…
A six-point night for the Avalanche defense including goals from Byram, Jack Johnson, and Girard. This is the Colorado defense the entire NHL should be afraid of and it’s not even at full power yet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMl438A21T4
Today was certainly not the Avs’ day, a game in which they were never really competitive due to poor defense and goaltending. They simply need more from the likes of Cale Makar, Devon Toews, and Alexandar Georgiev. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhYXdcWT8Ns
The Avs find another way to collapse despite a two-goal lead, multiple soft goals from Francouz, and some major defensive weaknesses betrayed a quality game from Mikko Rantanen and Sam Girard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nD8c2ki74Q
The Avalanche seem to have finally hit their boiling point in an implosion loss to the Vancouver Canucks. It’s plain for everyone to see that it needs to be better. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzXslKWQLuo
The Avs came out on top of the WIld in what will likely be the wackiest game of the season, with bounces, penalties, and plays that make absolutely no sense. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=712jUpjQYsk
It’s hard to argue against the Avs’ defense as the best in the league and somehow they may be poised to have an even better season than the last. With pieces like Byram and Girard ready to ascend it could become one of the greatest defenses ever. https://youtu.be/UX_9v7_9xAo
A solid all-around game marred by injuries on both sides sees the Avs come out on top to take a 2 – 1 series lead. With production coming from every forward line the Avs seem to outmatch St. Louis. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgCPyXJygmM
We knew that the Round 2 matchup between the Colorado Avalanche and the St. Louis Blues was going to be an interesting one. We knew we would see back and forth games, physical play, and constantly shifting momentum. As the series shift to St. Louis for Game 3, we got all of those things and then some. While there were…...
The Avs get an elite performance out of Sam Girard and Josh Manson on their second pairing to escape OT with a W in Game 1 against the Blues. With dominant 5-on-5 play across the board, the Avs should feel confident going deeper into the series. https://youtu.be/cq_ym2Nbf3E
It was a big news day for the Colorado Avalanche as they got back on the ice after a disappointing three-game road trip that saw them go 1-2. The most surprising news of the day was Gabe Landeskog’s decision to have knee surgery and will be out indefinitely, though that just means there is currently no clear timeline for a…...
As the Colorado Avalanche continue to make history with their home winning streak it’s starting to feel like the team has that special something surrounding them this year. https://youtu.be/1SrQ6WiNvaA
The Avs rhythm of letting teams hang around but finding a way to get the job done continues, with Val Nichushkin stepping up for the Avs on the offensive side of the puck. https://youtu.be/QycTynQ2lxY
In what will almost certainly be the least interesting game of the season the Avs found yet another way to win a hockey game. With very little to talk about this is the shortest review of the year. https://youtu.be/smIaxsOhn6c
A glitch in the matrix perhaps? Two 7 – 3 games with fairly similar storylines one after the other leads the Avs to feel quite good about themselves but Rudo may be stuck on repeat. https://youtu.be/jbl4pTYdVdw
Extenuating circumstances in goal led to a full disaster game for the Avalanche. The Avs goaltending and defense likely played what will be their worst game of the season on the big Toronto stage. https://youtu.be/UHM7LvSniII
The Avs make it two in a row as they handle the San Jose Sharks off the back of elite performances from Sam Girard and Nazem Kadri. While there is still plenty left to prove for the Avs the step in the right direction is now obvious. https://youtu.be/fD9NN3bt1n0
