The Avs get off their losing streak but at what cost? With the playoffs around the corner, the Avs defense has been thrown into even more turmoil as the health of Sam Girard and Ryan Graves are in question. https://youtu.be/sH1b205aQ04
The Avs were a victim of big mistakes and poor goaltending in a game that leaves them with an uphill battle for first place in the West. With players returning on the horizon it’s hard to put much stock in this loss. https://youtu.be/0ETxG4XHDGQ
Something a little bit different since that game wasn’t really worth talking about. The Avs top five producers are truly something to behold. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QmAsI0E8jqo

After their 19th game and still sitting in a playoff spot, it would seem an odd time to push the panic button for the Colorado Avalanche. Just four points behind first-place Vegas, the Avs have started well enough to feel like they’ve weathered the early-season storms that have come their way, from another rash of injuries to a COVID shutdown…...
The Avs special teams continue to fire on all cylinders as they take down the LA Kings on two Power Play goals. The second unit, in particular, is showing some chemistry on the blue line. https://youtu.be/8ZfeooZ4_e0
The Avs are sporting what could be considered the best defense in Avalanche history coming into this season. With talent that was regularly seen on the top pair just a few short years ago, the depth of the defense is work diving into. https://youtu.be/qte_yb6FCiM
The Avs may have taken the L but if that’s the Nathan MacKinnon this series is gonna get, Avs fans have nothing to be worried about. https://youtu.be/g-gFwhcy_P0
A defense over a decade in the making. It was worth the wait. https://youtu.be/qocc9BM-BxE
Perhaps this is controversial, or perhaps it isn't, but let it be known: as of right now, Samuel Girard is the Avs #1 defenseman.
Still just 21 years old, Girard led the Avs in average time on ice at 21:19 a game, but where the staff trusted him more than any other player on the team is at even strength, where he averaged over a full minute more than the next closest player (Erik Johnson). While Jared Bednar and Nolan Pratt won't hesitate to put Girard on the ice with Cale Makar for offensive zone face-offs, they pretty consistently use him in defensive matchups against the other teams best players.

The Avs beat is riding shotgun with the Nuggets and to pair it with The List, we are rolling out The Tape, showcasing and breaking down some of the more interesting plays from previous games. 1.

There’s a scene from “The Office” where main character and cliche-ruiner Michael Scott realizes he has the upper hand on his former employer and he starts a conversation by saying, “Well, well, well. How the turntables…” before trailing off and realizing he’s screwed up the phrase. That’s kind of what I imagined tonight when Nathan MacKinnon and Sam Girard had…...
