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
Do or die, now or never, lose and go home. Whichever cliche you wanted to use, they applied to this game. The Colorado Avalanche went into Climate Pledge Arena on the brink of elimination, looking desperately to find a way to win Game 6 and send things back home for a decisive Game 7. This series has felt like a…
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
The drama that surrounds a Game 4, in any round, of the Stanley Cup Playoffs is among the most exciting and intense moments of every series. No matter what, Game 4 always starts with one team trying to take a commanding lead in the Best-of-7, while the other is trying desperately to get the series back to even. That was…
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
It’s always fun to be a part of history, and that was exactly what we had on Saturday night in Seattle. With the series tied 1-1, Game 3 of Round 1 between the Colorado Avalanche and Seattle Kraken marked the first-ever home playoff game for the Kraken, and one of these teams was going to walk out with a lead.…
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
The matchups are all set and the Colorado Avalanche’s reward for winning the Central Division is taking on the Seattle Kraken in the franchise’s first-ever foray into postseason hockey. Before we get into where we’re going, let’s talk about where we’ve been. Colorado finished the regular season 1st in the Central with 109 points and a 51-24-7 record. Seattle finished…
Despite a quality game from Colorado one critical play from Nathan MacKinnon cost the Avalanche a regulation. The Kraken then took advantage in OT and stole a point from Alexandar Georgiev and the Avs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qqOdUNBlbc
Whether it’s centering Andrew Cogliano and Logan O’Connor or moving up to play with Artturi Lehkonen and Mikko Rantanen, Alex Newhook is becoming a key piece for Colorado. Nathan MacKinnon’s shootout put the Avs over the top. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPbpN-OEshE
Playing with house money. That’s a gambling phrase that means you’ve put yourself in a good enough position that you are playing with little, to no risk at all. The Colorado Avalanche were playing with house money on Saturday night when they wrapped up their three-game road trip against the Seattle Kraken at Climate Pledge Arena. After a two(ish) week…
A game that lacked intensity and pace from the effort saw Bowen Byram and the second line attempt to carry the team to victory but the Avs were just too heavy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FImShfh3rH8
The early part of the schedule for the Colorado Avalanche has featured multiple emotional reunions with members of last year’s Stanley Cup Championship team, and we got one more tonight before the team heads out on the road for more than three weeks. Andre Burakovsky made his first return trip to Ball Arena after signing with the Seattle Kraken in…...
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
A low effort loss for the Avs was bound to happen as the stretch run has little meaning left in it for Colorado. With a start as late as this one it almost felt like a sleepwalking fever dream. https://youtu.be/ijPqTKZcSiY
We knew the Colorado Avalanche were going to struggle with a bout against complacency in the final two weeks of the regular season after clinching both the division title and top seed in the conference last weekend. What we’ve seen since that surprisingly scintillating win over Carolina is a Colorado team that has shifted into the mindset of making sure…...
There’s a new team at #1 this week after stringing together some very, very impressive play as of late, which is not something a lot of the top teams in the league can say they’ve done recently. I’ve started to get the sense that we’re entering that weird lull right before the deadline where the top contending teams in the…...
2022 appears to be the year of the comeback as the Avs do it in the third period for the fourth time in five games. Nazem Kadri being the critical piece to the puzzle for Colorado this time. https://youtu.be/H4k470dEJ1A
At a past job, we would have two-day quarterly meetings that would serve as a reflection on how things are going, and what the game plan is going forward. One of the topics that would take up the majority of the first day was “what is the smell in your office?” That didn’t mean, are your employees clean and do…...
