In this show, James “Tapeleg” Gralian and I break down the nine Avalanche games since our last show,  we’ll cover the moves the Avs made at the trade deadline, and we’ll tell you why firing Joe Sacco may not be the solution to all of the problems the Avs currently have.  Those topics and plenty more Avalanche and NHL stuff in episode #79 of The Avs Hockey Podcast.

Hang in there fans.  We know this season hasn’t been easy to watch, but we definitely try and make the show easy to listen to.

Varly gets Joe Thornton to talk to himself a bit on February 26th.  Highway robbery.

Ken Campbell, from The Hockey News, sums up the mess that was February 28th.  One of the better informational reads on what happened in the Ryan O’Reilly situation.

The Score’s Jake Goldsbie bring you “Forced Watching” of the Avs/Oilers game on March 13.  Funny and sad all at the same time.

In this podcast, James “Tapeleg” Gralian and I break down the eight games since our last show, we celebrate Milan Hejduk’s 1000th game as a Av, we discuss bad bounces and glorious non-calls, who is tough, and a whole lot more.  Thanks for joining us Avalanche fans.

Justin Bourne breaks down Matt Duchene being offside and not offside all at the same time.

Blog post from The Denver Post’s Mike Chambers shortly after the Avalanche’s 6-5 win against the Preds.  The comments by Barry Trotz make sense.  The comments below the post by the readers make very little sense.

Justin Bourne talks about the many factors that make up hockey toughness.

Aaron Palushaj with the old font number seven on his back.  The number has since been fixed and is now accurate with the newer number font the Avalanche currently use.  The fixed jersey will be in action on February 28th against the Flames at Pepsi Center.
