1:29:02

The Avs got embarrassed in back to back games and the playoffs start next week. It's bad. 7-0 loss to Winnipeg on home ice to give up the 2nd seed, and a blown 3-0 third period lead to the Golden Knights to cap off the worst weekend possible. With one game left in the regular season, let's talk about the state of this team. Send questions to the ma…

The Avalanche win Game 2 over the Winnipeg Jets 5-2 to tie the series at 1-1 going back to Colorado, and hats off the Alex Georgiev for his incredible bounce back performance in goal.

The Avalanche lose Game 1 to the Winnipeg Jets 7-6 after Alex Georgiev's shockingly awful performance singlehandedly ruins what was actually a solid performance for Colorado in a game where they were the better team. There is no more discussion to be had, it is Justus Annunen's net from now on, Georgiev cannot go back in. The Avalanche did everythi…

The Stanley Cup Playoffs are here, and Raj is back once again to preview the Avs first round series against the Winnipeg Jets. Obviously the goaltending is going to the biggest x-factor of this series, but where do the other deciding factors lie for this first round series? Where do the Avalanche hold clear advantages over the Jets, and vice versa?…

1:04:59

Nathan MacKinnon is the best player in the world, and he proved it again with another hat trick and four point night in a 5-2 win over the Minnesota Wild. First though, the Avalanche lost 7-4 to the Dallas Stars, in what was probably their worst defensive performance of the entire season and will pretty much cost them the Central division. With a m…

Tell It Avs It Is - You Have A Goalie Controversy - S4 1:31:17

20d ago1:31:17

1:31:17

After a back to back of wildly different goaltending results, the Avalanche unfortunately have a goalie controversy that cannot be ignored. Alex Georgiev put up an awful night where the Avs needed their goalie on a back to back against the Oilers, and Justus Annunen made 44 saves in a solid win over the Minnesota Wild. With five games to go, how do…

Alanis Morissette – Jagged Little pill 46:53

21d ago46:53

46:53

Alanis Morissette's 1995 album "Jagged Little Pill" was ripe for mid-90s success -- and it more than delivered. Morissette -- previously a child actor and dance-pop artist -- dug into her soul, and (with the help of songwriter Glen Ballard) released an album of angry, frank and catchy post-grunge rock hits. To say these songs struck a nerve is an u…

1:21:29

In honor of April Fools Day, the Avalanche pulled a great prank by losing to the Columbus Blue Jackets 4-1, taking their destiny out of their own hands for the Central Division title, and forcing us to desperately try to find something to talk about from this horrendous game. What needs to be addressed heading this ridiculous home stretch and playo…

1:33:10

The Avalanche are in the playoffs for the seventh consecutive year after beating the Nashville Predators 7-4 and nabbing a point in a 3-2 shootout loss to the Rangers. Nathan MacKinnon's historic home point streak technically ended, even though he directly set up a goal because the NHL is nonsense, but he's back in the lead for the Art Ross with a …

1:19:14

The nine game winning streak for the Avalanche comes to an abrupt end in a loss to the Montreal Canadiens, but on the heels of a historic 4-0 comeback over the Pittsburgh Penguins, is it even worth taking anything away from that bizarre end to the winning streak. Nathan MacKinnon's home point streak continues, and he has now passed Joe Sakic for th…

Eight wins in a row for the Avalanche as they embarrass the Columbus Blue Jackets with a 6-1 win. A three point night for Mikko Rantanen as he approaches 100 points, a historic point streak extended for Nathan MacKinnon, and Cale Makar still doing Cale Makar things. We exist in a golden era of the Avalanche, and it's very easy to forget that someti…

The Avalanche have won seven games in a row after knocking off the St. Louis Blues on the back of a Mikko Rantanen hat trick, sweeping the four game road trip and making it very clear how big of a problem they are in the West.

In an era of iconic music (and fashion) superstars, Cyndi Lauper burst onto the scene in the 1980s with a flash of neon-infused female-forward pop. She was perfect for the MTV generation, as her look took the pop culture world by storm. But “She’s So Unusual” was not just a vehicle to get her on TVs. The album is packed with timeless classics like …

The Avalanche will never be healthy, and now they've lost Logan O'Connor for the rest of the season and playoffs due to hip surgery. It's a heartbreaking loss, but the Avs positioned themselves at the trade deadline to survive it and hopefully not miss a beat. Regardless, the Avalanche smoked the Calgary Flames with a 6-2 win on the road, with very…

The Avalanche really did it. The Colorado Avalanche have traded Bo Byram to the Buffalo Sabres in exchange for Casey Mittelstadt, at long last solving their need at second line center for the foreseeable future, but at the cost of a beloved player in Byram. But not just that, the Avs set that deal up by acquiring Sean Walker from the Philadelphia F…

The Avalanche took care of the Blackhawks with another 5-0 shutout win, but really disappointed with a 5-1 loss in Nashville against the Predators that squandered their recent momentum. The road performances are a big problem, and the lack of drive in the third period was incredibly baffling. Justus Annunen has ended the trade talks for a backup go…
