In this episode, my partner James “Tapeleg” Gralian (from the “The Rink Podcast”) and I recap the past 10 games for the Colorado Avalanche.  We forgo the game recaps, for obvious reasons, and talk about all kinds of other Avalanche stuff including: Joe Sacco and his coaching style, the recent trades the Avs made, Peter Forsberg’s arrival and retirement, and we even talk about old fan favorites like Andrew Brunette, Dan Hinote, and Ian Laperriere.  It’s a different show than you’re used to and we think you’ll like it.  Thanks for the listen Avs fans!

Click here to visit James’ blog, “Jerseys and Hockey Love.”  He has recent posts about Craig Anderson’s departure, the 9-1 whoopin’ Avs received from the Flames on Valentine’s Day, as well as a post about everyone’s favorite Avs beat writer and his antics/shenanigans on Twitter.

Other relevant Avs related stuff worth watching:

In this show I’ll break down the Avs’ short playoff run, I’ll share my overall thoughts about the 2009-2010 Avs season, and I’ll throw the Auraria Higher Education Center Parking Authority into the penalty box.  Those topics and plenty more in episode #53 of the Avs Hockey Podcast.  Thanks for a great season Avalanche fans!

Chris Stewart with the game winning goal in game one with 49.3 seconds left in regulation.  Do you believe in hockey karma Rob Blake?  You should now.
