FORT COLLINS, CO. — Not. Dead. Yet.  After not playing for three full weeks, Colorado State men’s basketball was able to escape a difficult situation Saturday afternoon in Moby Arena.  Despite a sluggish opening in the first 10 minutes that featured nearly as many turnovers (4) by the Rams as points scored (5), CSU was able to close out the…...

A three-point night from Nazem Kadri and goals from key contributors Rantanen and Burakovsky made for what should have been an easy win for the Avs. When you are playing a third-string goaltender sometimes things get spooky. https://youtu.be/7kVaTZOQVf8

Pierre-Edouard Bellemare – C Granted, it looks like there’s a chance that Bellemare might never score again given how this year has started, but he at least had some good looks in this game that Hill had to be ready for. Did not like Bellemare just looking to block a shot instead of covering anyone in front of his net…...

Goalies, man. They’re weird, unpredictable creatures even in the best of times. If you look at the numbers right now, goaltenders with a save percentage under .900 include Sergei Bobrovsky, Braden Holtby, Tuukka Rask, Carey Price, Robin Lehner, Carter Hart, and Ilya Sorokin. That’s a lot of hardware and two of the brightest young goaltenders in the game today. Even…...

Saturday will be a big day for the Colorado XOs. When the ball is put into the air on Saturday and the XOs take on New Orleans Rugby Football Club in a scrimmage that will serve as many members of the team’s first semblance of an organized rugby match, Director of Rugby Mark Bullock, his staff, and the players will…

BOULDER — They’re back! After three-straight cold nights from deep, Colorado finally got hot from the 3-point line again on Thursday. The key? Jeriah Horne. “When Jeriah gets it going man he’s a rhythm shooter. He knows how to get his shots off. He’s got a quick release,” head coach Tad Boyle said after the game. “Look, the scouting report…...

Wednesday night’s loss to Minnesota marked the first time this season the Avs have lost by more than three goals this season. It also marked the second game in a row where the offense came up short following a shutout by Vegas earlier in the week. Sixteen games into the season, the Avs sit only 15th in points percentage in…...

If you thought the last Wizards game ended in a deflating and bizarre fashion, then avert your eyes from Thursday night’s train wreck. Denver finally found a spark in the fourth quarter behind a furious rally from Jamal Murray — sound familiar? In the final seconds of the game, Denver had a chance to win it or send it to…...

Make no mistake. This was a disaster...

“Far and away the best prize that life offers is the chance to work hard at work worth doing.” – Theodore Roosevelt I’d been playing club soccer for four years when the famine hit. Our league ran across three states, and played a 12-game regular season, with the upper half of the league meeting for a playoff every year. In…...

In order to keep Denver below the expected $180 million salary cap, tough decisions will need to be made on many of the Broncos' current players. However, there's a handful of players that are safe thanks to their contracts.

The Avs managed to beat themselves once again as the final score suggests. Even with the ugliness in this game, the Avs had opportunities to win and once they tighten up it’s not hard to see them going on the warpath. https://youtu.be/CjgA4zhzJjY

Pierre-Edouard Bellemare – D+ The fourth line had a pretty horrendous shift to start the game and didn’t really spend any extended time in the offensive zone. They get some kudos for I guess not being on the ice for a goal against. Andre Burakovsky – B+ Probably one of Burky’s better games in a long time, even though he…...

9-6-1 through 16 games? Stanley Cup contender? Are we sure? Following an embarrassing 6-2 loss on home ice to the Minnesota Wild, the Avs fell to sixth place in the West Division. The loss was the first time the Avs have lost two straight games this season. Nathan MacKinnon was scoreless for the second straight game and third time in…...

Barring an unexpected revival, Dalton's days as a mid-level starter are behind him. But if the Broncos are seeking just a backup who can be a bridge if Drew Lock falters, the 11-year veteran might fit the bill.

BOULDER — The Colorado Buffaloes are among the best 3-point shooting teams in the Pac-12, but they may not stay there for long. In its last three games, Colorado hasn’t shot better than 22% from deep, despite still holding a 36.1% mark for the season, good for second in the Pac-12. “My job, and our job as a coaching staff,…...

FORT COLLINS, CO. — The Mountain West is going to Mountain West.  In a public announcement released Tuesday afternoon the league revealed a revised schedule for both the men’s and women’s teams.  After neither group was able to play a game over the last three weeks, both Niko Medved and Ryun Williams are now tasked with leading their respective teams through…...

Both the Denver Nuggets and Portland Trail Blazers entered Tuesday night’s TNT matchup down several key players. The Nuggets held the rest advantage with Portland playing the night prior, and that reared its head in the fourth quarter as Nikola Jokić and Jamal Murray slammed the door shut. Denver picked up a much-needed 111-106 win. Jokić dropped 41, Murray dropped…...

Jamal Murray has four career 19+ point fourth quarters. Three of those have come over Murray's last four games.
