Wins are starting to look routine, getting the usual scoring from players like Mikko Rantanen and Val Nichushkin in your top six is a solid base. Add in-depth scoring from Andrew Cogliano and Brad Hunt and you’ve got something cooking. Back it up with a rock-solid goalie performance from Alexandar Georgiev and that’s a W. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgCMJ_OjKk8
The Avs get back above .500 with a solid win over Vegas as it feels like they are finally starting to gel together. Val Nichushkin may be the best forward over this starting stretch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_7mxFKXy8I
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 Avs drop their first game of the season in an all but guaranteed schedule loss to the Flames. While there is certainly room for improvement there’s nothing to be concerned about given the scenario and even a few positives to take from this one. https://youtu.be/9R_kGT3xA9Q
The Avs kicked off their regular season in excellent fashion with a dominant win over an admittedly bad Blackhawks team. With the top line and PP units doing the heavy lifting the Avs got to manage their legs on the front half of a back-to-back. https://youtu.be/afD3L89ZeV4
With the Avs season set to begin tomorrow, the Avs top-6 has seen some major changes but is still led by its core staples. Can MacKinnon, Rantanen, and Landeskog turn the Avs into a dynasty? https://youtu.be/UQs-Jpmk4mQ
The Stanley Cup Final continues as the Avs drop Game 5 at home missing on their first attempt to win the Stanley Cup. Through five games this series has lived up to the hype. https://youtu.be/9iHyXXlv8n0
The Avs just played the best game maybe any team has ever played in a Stanley Cup Final. Sheer dominance for a full 60 minutes left a Tampa team with all the experience in the world feeling something new. A blowout loss to go down 2 – 0 in the Final. https://youtu.be/Dkb1vsX8ywA
What more could you ask from Game One of the Stanley Cup Final? Banger game, all world plays, big finish a full series of that is a dream for fans with no rooting interest and a rollercoaster for those who do. https://youtu.be/f1bvXp3OiTY
Alright, before we get started on the game itself, I’ve gotta give some love to the folks here at Rogers Place. This building is amazing. State of the art top to bottom, and absolutely beautiful in every sense of the word. Literally everything you’d want in a hockey rink, I couldn’t be more impressed. Really the whole city of Edmonton,…...
The Avs get an elite performance out of Sam Girard and Josh Manson on their second pairing to escape OT with a W in Game 1 against the Blues. With dominant 5-on-5 play across the board, the Avs should feel confident going deeper into the series. https://youtu.be/cq_ym2Nbf3E
With the return of Devon Toews, it was back to business in dominating fashion for the Avs against the St. Louis Blues. With just two regular-season games left the only thing left to prove lies in the playoffs. https://youtu.be/9cTIskcplVg
Despite a slow-paced loss to the Capitals the Avs still feel like they gained valuable knowledge out of this game and are set to be the toughest team to play in the playoffs. https://youtu.be/HG1WqtFemEA
The Avs brought their A-game and the Kings had no choice but to cede power to the dominant force. For Cale Makar, this game good have larger implications when it comes to season-ending awards. https://youtu.be/Vg-QsrBAFqQ
Even with a depleted lineup, the Avs find massive value in their forward core and goaltending, particularly when it comes to special teams. Finding ways to win in this form is just another feather in the cap of the best team in the west. https://youtu.be/njcYDcI5PnM
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

The Avs ability to consistently make even decent NHL teams look like routine wins should stand as a statement about how good Colorado really is. A game led by the forward core felt like a refreshing break for the Avs defense. https://youtu.be/rwbyauNpzRY
