In this week's mailbag of reader questions, Casey answers questions about the Avalanche's defense--what do the stats say, who could play on their off-hand, who should stay and who should go?
Well well well, I said at the start of the Avalanche’s newly-finished road trip that there might be some big changes if they didn’t manage to string some wins together. So of course, they end the trip with a narrowly positive record of 4-3. Whether that’s enough to stave off any roster shakeups is anybody’s guess. One of the…...
Prior to receiving the call from the Avalanche to return to Denver, defenseman Zach Redmond took some time out of his day to chat with us about his season thus far, the impact of starting in the AHL after having been an NHL regular last season, and what his role is on the team in San Antonio.

Such is the case of the Colorado Avalanche tonight in giving yet another opportunity to backup goaltender Reto Berra, whose play this…...
Sports are filled with hyperbole. Everywhere you look, you’re seeing the “GREATEST TEAM OF ALL-TIME” or a rough equivalent. You’re never not in the presence of greatness when you’re witnessing sports unfold on a live stage. When I say that this Colorado Avalanche team might be the most resilient team since the glory days of Sakic, Roy, and Forsberg I’m…...
