When Mike Moustakas steps to the plate in the bottom of an inning, it’ll often sound as if the home crowd is displeased with him. They’re not saying “Boooo,” they’re saying “Moooose.” Now that he plays in Colorado, Moustakas is the second-most famous professional athlete nicknamed Moose after Avalanche right winger Mikko Rantanen. For the hockey-loving Moustakas, that’s fine by…
Jesse’s Observations Gabe Landeskog A couple weeks ago, I wrote in this piece that I would likely be providing updates on Gabriel Landeskog every week until we had a resolution, one way or the other. After months of uncertainty, secrecy, confusing explanations, and an inconsistent on-ice rehab routine, the Colorado Avalanche officially announced that Gabe Landeskog would not return for…
How are we back here already? I’ve always hated the phrase “feels like it was just yesterday”, so I’m not going to say that, but it was almost surreal being back inside Ball Arena so soon for a Colorado Avalanche game that actually mattered. Yes, the game technically did matter in terms of it being Regular Season game #1, but…...
In many ways, Nathan MacKinnon will always be known as Cole Harbor’s second son, but with a Stanley Cup to his name, he has now carved out room for greatness. Standing on his own alongside Sidney Crosby. https://youtu.be/ymLfngICRzM

The Colorado Avalanche are the 2022 Stanley Cup Champions. Let me type that again, just so that there’s no confusion… The Colorado Avalanche are the 2022 Stanley Cup Champions! The Avalanche defeated the Tampa Bay Lightning 2-1 on Monday in a nail-biting thriller at Amalie Arena to clinch the franchise’s third Stanley Cup and its first since 2001. You all…...
The Stanley Cup was in the building tonight, and the crowd wanted to see it. Unfortunately for the fans, and more so the Colorado Avalanche, the greatest trophy in sports never emerged from its case. It was a really hard-fought game from the first puck drop. The Tampa Bay Lightning were fighting for their lives, and the Colorado Avalanche were…...
I am a member of a team, and I rely on the team, I defer to it and sacrifice for it, because the team, not the individual, is the ultimate champion. – Mia Hamm A dear friend of mine with a very sweet set of pipes has his fingerprints on parts of the first major championship that Denver and Colorado…
All the way back in Round 1, I was talking with a fellow media member and they mentioned how much they love dramatic Game 4s. It’s almost always a team looking to go up 3-1, playing a team desperately trying to even the series. That was exactly what we had tonight. The Colorado Avalanche had successfully defended home ice in…...

It was impossible. It simply couldn’t be done. For the few hundred years they’d been measuring and trying, no one could break a four minute mile. I don’t know if you’ve ever tried it. I tried running a quarter mile once in less than 60 seconds, and truly thought I might die. It’s a hell of a fast clip, and…...
The first one is done, and what a game it was. The Colorado Avalanche and the Tampa Bay Lightning opened the Stanley Cup Final tonight and Game 1 lived up to the hype. This has been billed as one of the best Cup Final matchups the NHL has seen in a long, long time. Tonight was a fantastic game from…...
Here we go, the Stanley Cup Final. Down to the last two teams remaining, and we have what is, in my opinion, the best Final matchup you could’ve hoped for at the start of the season. A team looking to win their third Championship in a row, and a team who has been knocking on the door of greatness trying…...
One more round to help you top off your summer travel fund. This is the Stanley Cup Finals so there are more props to bet than in previous rounds. Still nowhere near the level of props for the Superbowl but enough to remind me of the Cheesecake Factory Menu as I started to work my way through it. One interesting…...
Altitude and Avalanche announcer Marc Moser joins us on the eve of the Stanley Cup Finals. We talked about this avalanche team and a day in the life of a broadcaster. We discussed golf, how he got into it and the state of his game right now. Then we had him play a game we call “Rank These Cups”
The Colorado Avalanche are going to the Stanley Cup Final. When I first started covering the team during the 2016-2017 season, I never ever would have thought I’d be typing those words just five years later. This group… the resilience they’ve shown all playoffs, the adversity they’ve had to overcome all season, and their will to win has gotten to…...
What a wild first two rounds of the NHL Playoffs. So far, we’ve had half the series (6) go to a Game 7, the President’s Trophy winner lose 4 straight games to be eliminated for the 4th straight year, Andrei Vasilevskiy continues to be unbeatable in elimination games, and that doesn’t even touch on the storylines coming out of the…...
We are officially into Round 3 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, and it has been such a fun postseason so far. For the Conference Finals, we’ve got two early-season favorites and two teams that have proved all the doubters wrong (including myself). Two great matchups featuring four extremely talented teams. 1. Tampa Bay Lightning (Round 2 Series Win: 4-0) 1st…...
Whew. That game was… well it was something. Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals kicked off Tuesday night in Denver and it was one to remember. The Colorado Avalanche held on to claim a 8-6 win over the Edmonton Oilers in a fast-paced, wide-open thriller of a hockey game. There’s so much to get into in this one that…...
At morning skate today, every member of the media that I talked to said roughly the same thing, “I can’t believe we’re back here.” Halfway through Game 5, everybody was making plans for what they would do with their days off in between series, and obviously you know what happened next. So there we were, sitting inside the Enterprise Center…...
