For the first time in franchise history, the Nuggets won four games in five nights on the road. Even though one more road game remains on the trip, this is one of the Nuggets most impressive road ventures in franchise history. Two of the games went to overtime and their two big free agent resigners, [...]
TweetResident Avalanche tough guy defenseman, Shane O’Brien, is set to return tonight. The new guy on the blue line for the Avalanche has arguably been their best defenseman, as far as bringing toughness to the team. O’Brien went down in the Avs 4-1 loss to St. Louis. Since that time, the Avs have won one [...]
TweetI was not listening to the Avalanche Radio Network yesterday afternoon, but I can almost guarantee that studio guy, Mark Bertagnolli said, “Skyrockets in flight, it’s an afternoon delight.” It’s something that Bertagnolli does for all afternoon Nuggets and Avalanche games and a reference to a 70’s song, probably not worth remembering that frequently. Well, [...]
TweetThe Colorado Avalanche’s win this weekend over the Dallas Stars ended a three game losing streak that included just one point from an overtime loss. The Avalanche cannot afford many more weeks where they win only one game and have such horrible losses. The St. Louis loss and the first Nashville loss were horrible exhibitions [...]
TweetThe NHL All-Star roster was announced today. Colorado has no one on the NHL game roster. I mean, it’s not like they have a rising superstar who will be a candidate for the Selke Trophy. It’s not like the Avs have a hard working player who is the team leader in points with 30 and [...]
TweetOf course, “Avalanche Off Day,” could have been the headline for the past four days. In between the Avalanche’s off days, the Blues killed the team on Saturday as did the Predators last night. The Avs at least played well the last two periods of yesterday’s contest but struggled early. At the end of the [...]
TweetAfter taking four days off, the Avalanche sit one point out of the eight team playoff field and only eight points out of first place. The bottom three teams in the conference have played themselves out of the race, meaning that 12 teams are still alive in the Western Conference. When looking at the teams [...]
TweetThe NHL announced their All-Star team starters yesterday. The Ottawa Senators, who are hosting the event, secured four of the six fan voting spots. Forwards Daniel Alfredsson, Milan Michalek and Jason Spezza joined defenseman Erik Karlsson on the list. Bruin’s goalie Tim Thomas and Toronto defenseman Dion Phaneuf rounded out the starters. When looking at [...]
TweetIn looking at the Avalanche’s resurgence in late December, Ryan O’Reilly deserves a lot of credit. While Matt Duchene and Paul Stastny continue to try and find their “A” game, O’Reilly has changed the meaning of that level for himself. The 20 year old has 26 points, matching his total from both of his first [...]
