The Avs Hockey Podcast http://www.avshockeypodcast.com Two Fan's Perspectives on Colorado Avalanche Hockey...and plenty of jerseys too. Tue, 15 May 2012 19:28:15 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 Welcome back to the Avs Hockey Podcast, your home for most everything Avalanche! I am your host Jay Vean. Each show will cover recent games played by the Colorado Avalanche, team news and notes, and will also include previews for upcoming Avs games. You can reach me at avalanchepodcast@comcast.net if you have any feedback, questions, comments, etc. I would love to hear from you! Thanks so much for joining me, Avalanche fans! By the way, I am in no way associated and/or affiliated with, or approved by or supported by the Colorado Avalanche Hockey Team, Inc. or the National Hockey League. I’m just a podcaster trying to keep passionate Avalanche and hockey fans (who don’t get to watch them in person or on television every game, like I do) well-informed and somewhat entertained. I make absolutely no money producing this podcast either. I make the show because I have a little time on my hands, access to podcasting tools, a loving and supportive spouse, and a passion for the sport and my hometown team. Let’s go Avs!

This show is brought to you by the number 72.  This is Joel Chouinard’s jersey that was made for him to wear during the 2009-2010 season.

Gabriel Landeskog is getting all kinds of positive attention from the media.  Nicholas J. Cotsonika from Yahoo! Sports had this to say about the Avalanche’s super-rookie.  Puck Daddy’s Greg Wyshynski says just give the Calder Trophy to 92 already.

Blake Comeau, I’d like you to meet my friend Gabriel Landeskog.  He prefers a physical game.  BOOM!

Avs get smoked 5-1 by the Pens at home on March 3, Dater strikes again.  Then he backed off just a little bit.

Two minutes and one second of 5-on-3 the entire season so far?  Read this tweet from Marc Moser and weep.

Congratulations to Milan Hejduk who became the Avalanche’s team leader in games played on February 15.

Kyle Quincey had some interesting words about the Avalanche organization soon after his trade to the Lightning, then the Red Wings.  Read them here.

Kyle Quincey then apologized.  He’s still cool with us.

James was wrong about Steve Downie, so far, and that’s quite alright.  Check out his initial reactions on the trade here.

  • Whether Varly or Jiggy should be the Avalanche’s number one goaltender right now.
  • We make it clear that you should be very happy that Paul Stastny is not Montreal’s Scott Gomez.
  • We make Twitter predictions on what we think the Avs players and coaching staff did during the All-Star break.
  • We talk about how creepy Pierre McGuire can be.
  • And we have yet another installation of Peter McNab’s “That’s What She Saids.”

Those topics and a whole lot more Avalanche stuff in episode number 70 of The AHP.  Thanks, as always, for the support Avalanche fans.

This episode is brought to you by a 2008-2009 game issued Avalanche jersey as made for former Avalanche goaltending prospect Peter Delmas.
