Mikko Rantanen drops a hat trick to blow passed 50 goals and lead the Avs to victory over the San Jose Sharks. Once Mikko reached the magic number the Avs simply dominated the game even picking up two goals for Ben Meyers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8Z1V93Hd5Y
A three-point night and an OT winner have Nathan Mackinnon reaching the 100 point mark in style. In what should have been an easy game the Avs squandered a multi-goal lead only for MacKinnon to refuse to lose. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVWSQ11U2ic
With Cale Makar and Val Nichushkin leading the way the Avs dismantle the San Jose Sharks. Offensive contributions from Nathan MacKinnon, Mikko Rantanen, Denis Malgin, and Artturi Lehkonen made this one easy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRv9D1Z23cs
In the quickly changing landscape of the Pacific division, Alberta looks to be in the driver’s seat but which teams are in the playoff picture? Can the California teams be relevant or will we see the younger teams take a step? https://youtu.be/cO0VEDgpAUo
In a tough loss that likely spells the end of any playoff contention hopes the Sharks fall short against the best team in the west despite a heroic performance from Tomas Hertl to keep it interesting. https://youtu.be/_8aL4gWY9ec
With the Colorado Avalanche having the type of season that they have had, we talk a lot about looking for certain things in their games. We’re paying more attention to the process, rather than the results. Fortunately, the results have been great. The process, while I wouldn’t say that it’s ever been “bad”, has had some ups and downs at…...
The Avs continue to make winning look easy against the weaker teams in the west, with top-end talent that other teams just can’t handle most nights don’t require maximum effort. https://youtu.be/RhEdZExNhiw
What to even say about that game? Colorado’s 5-3 win over the San Jose Sharks had a little bit of everything in it, from Nathan MacKinnon having the quietest three-point night of his life to Cale Makar taking another star turn and building on his impressive Norris Trophy credentials to Val Nichushkin setting a well-deserved career-high in points. You also…...
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
Winning changes some things, doesn’t it? Earlier in the week, Nathan MacKinnon was lost for three weeks (ish) and the Avs were coming off back-to-back losses to the Columbus Blue Jackets. They were hurting physically and emotionally and in danger of watching things spiral out of control on them. Then the Avs blew out the Vancouver Canucks in a 7-1…...
There’s never a good time to blow a game but the Avs picked a decent time to do it as they still maintain control of their own destiny. Underlying depth positives are overshadowed by poor top-end play. https://youtu.be/ZFlZD9cXoKU
After finding their way to their first comeback win of the year (at least in terms of entering the third period trailing and finding a way to win), the Avalanche did the exact opposite tonight. Entering the game with a 27-0-1 record when entering the third period with a lead, Colorado blew what had been a 2-0 lead at one…...
For the first time this season, the Avs complete the comeback and take home a win. The offense won the day as the Avs saw goal scoring come from multiple forwards who desperately needed them. https://youtu.be/1hb60mc3OAM
I wrote about what an odd game it was two nights ago in their 4-3 win against the San Jose Sharks and how it was defined by so many things you just don’t see very often in a single game. Tonight was headed for loss by the Avs to those same Sharks and was also weird but for very different…...
The breakout game every Conor Timmins fan has been waiting for. The Avs continue to get success from players that wouldn’t even be in the lineup if the team was fully healthy. That’s championship depth. https://youtu.be/YihZ2KkRsd0
When your top line generates 23 shots on goal and scores three goals, you had better walk out of the contest with two points. The Avalanche did exactly that tonight as they secured a 4-3 win over the San Jose Sharks that has a final score much closer than the on-ice action would suggest. To put it mildly, this was…...
The Colorado Avalanche won tonight. It was a 3-0 victory over the San Jose Sharks. By virtue of Vegas losing to Arizona tonight and Minnesota losing to St. Louis the last two nights (one in overtime), much of the frustration from the now-dead three-game losing has been soothed as the Avalanche firmed up their position in second place while staying…...
The Avs made domination of the Sharks look routine as Rantanen and Landeskog combined for four points each. Nathan MacKinnon’s health is uncertain after an unfortunate hit. https://youtu.be/agpkH04dr8k
The Avalanche blew a two-goal lead to San Jose in spectacular fashion as they completely fell apart in the third period for the second time in a week. The time for patience has passed. https://youtu.be/riIMJcKb8Ik
The Avs second line pulled some ninja magic late in the game to help the Avs overcome five posts and take down their first series win of the season. https://youtu.be/dEiwPTs8XBs
