In this podcast, James “Tapeleg” Gralian and Jay talk about the first quarter of the season, an Avalanche of injuries, kale (Cale) we both enjoy, when play should be stopped in the NHL and points too. Those topics and much more Avs and hockey stuff in episode #122 of The Avs Hockey Podcast. Thank you for joining us!

Should play have been stopped when Matt Calvert took this Elias Pettersson shot to the side of the helmet? NHL players chime in here.

The NHL doesn’t seem to be worried about actual wins and losses as much as it used to be. Steve Simmons, of the Toronto Sun, talks more about that here.

The Altitude TV and Comcast fight has gotten even uglier. Westword has more about that here.

Sean Tierney uses a tool called Tableau to help hockey analytics be more visual and simpler to understand. Check out his Twitter feed here.

Check out “From the Cheap Seats“, an Avalanche fan podcast with interesting guests. Jay has been enjoying the show and hopes you all enjoy it as well.
