In this show, James “Tapeleg” Gralian and I discuss: the Avalanche’s hot start, Patrick Roy’s debut as the Avs’ head coach, and we give Cody McLeod credit for playing in his 400th game in the NHL as well as talk about his hit on Detroit’s Niklas Kronwall.  Those topics and a whole lot more Avs and hockey stuff are included in episode #83 of The Avs Hockey Podcast.

The audio quality of this show, as James explains in the intro, isn’t what we or you are used to on The AHP, but it was the best we could do and it’s way better than nothing.

Welcome to the season, thanks for joining us, and Let’s Go Avs!
