A season for the Colorado Avalanche that somehow seems like it started just last week, while also feeling like it has been going since the Summer of ’69 is finally drawing to a close. The Avs welcomed in the Winnipeg Jets for the final home game of the regular season, and despite its outcome having huge implications on the Central…
As Colorado continues to push for the top of the central the skill of Nathan MacKinnon, Mikko Rantanen, JT Compher, and Bowen Byram were all on display as they easily dispatched the Winnipeg Jets. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sW1YQSKeLbk
I was legitimately excited for tonight’s game. As many of you know, my wife is a Winnipeg native and Jets fan, giving me the perfect, uh, excuse to be in Winnipeg when the Jets and Colorado Avalanche tangle. That means I was here in November when the Avs visited and subsequently got blown out 5-0 in what was the beginning…
This one was a personal delight for me as the Colorado Avalanche toppled the Winnipeg Jets 5-1 in a ‘revenge’ game of sorts after getting bopped 5-0 the last time they were in Winnipeg. That was a tough game to cover in person. Studs Nathan MacKinnon He set the tone with the goal 19 seconds into the game and never…
After what felt like an eternity of a week with no games on the schedule, the Colorado Avalanche entered the final stage of what has been the weirdest chunk of scheduling I’ve seen in quite some time. The third set of back-to-back games in last 10 days from the Avalanche, all with multiple days off in between. Something Andrew Cogliano…
After spotting the Jets a two-goal lead the Avs simultaneously feel lucky to have gotten a point and disappointed that they left one on the table. For a loss, this one is easy to take positives out of. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sv_MORmknLE
Despite a 2-1 record after the first three games, and the advantage of playing on home ice, Jared Bednar and the Colorado Avalanche were looking for a shake-up in the bottom six as they welcomed in the Winnipeg Jets for the second game of the season within the confines of Ball Arena. Three players were called up, (Martin Kaut, Anton…...
The Avs look poised to dominate the Central division for a third straight year but have any of the other teams closed the gap? And who will win the Connor Bedard sweepstakes? https://youtu.be/DrNse8Yv9W8
Going into the third period with the score still sitting at 0-0, the Colorado Avalanche had to feel pretty good about their chances to end their three-game losing skid and beat the Winnipeg Jets to salvage something from what had been a nightmare of a road trip to that point. The Avs had been outplayed through two periods but had…...
As the Avs offense continues to gear back up it allows them to get away with some suspect defense and goaltending. Plus having a Cale Makar up your sleeve is basically a cheat code. https://youtu.be/bOOMRl7czn4
It’s that time of year where I’m not really sure what to make of games as the Avalanche are clearly in cruise control to a second straight division title and maybe even another President’s Trophy (Florida has decided to stop losing at all costs, though, so we’ll see how that race shapes up) and are taking the last-gasp shots from…...
A nine goal in a game where Landeskog was a hard ten. The Avs ability to outscore their problems is always a threat and when their stars are at their best most games are no contest. https://youtu.be/caY7PtRn1TE
I was asked during a little mini-interview pre-game, “why is this game important?”, and truthfully I was really tempted to look right at the camera and say “it’s not”. Obviously, I didn’t say that, your boy is a professional and that’s show biz, baby, but that was how it felt coming into it. The Colorado Avalanche has a 12-point lead…...
A twelve-point night with five goals including a hat trick from the three-headed monster is enough to strike fear into the strongest defensive teams. All three players are capable of changing a game in an instant. https://youtu.be/yQIN6IVZ86c
Two nights ago, when the Colorado Avalanche beat the Chicago Blackhawks in an overtime thriller, we talked on the DNVR Avalanche Postgame Show about how the Avs have been impressive this season in their ability to win in a variety of different games and situations. Well, that was on display again tonight. After a back and forth first period that…...
As we start to shift our coverage here more towards the inevitable NHL draft, the focus naturally shifts to the future. Colorado and St. Louis were setting up for an intriguing sprint to the Central Division title that appears will be cut short by the ongoing pandemic. This brings us to today’s topic: Considering salary cap situations, prospect pools, and…...
