In this show my co-host James “Tapeleg” Gralian, from “The Rink Podcast”, and I say farewell (and good riddance) to the 2010-2011 Colorado Avalanche season.  We say farewell and “We’ll miss you” to yet another Avalanche captain.  We discuss who may be back, who may be captain, and who may be off of the 2011-2012 Avs roster.  And we also talk about a sense of urgency that we hope the Avalanche organization is feeling right now.  Those topics and, as always, much more in episode #64 of The Avs Hockey Podcast.  Thanks for a great season Avs fans!

Farewell Footer.  It was a pleasure watching you all these years.

Adam Foote’s tribute video made for him by the Avalanche organization.  Awesome.

In this show we deferred to the you, the listeners, to help us with topics to discuss.  As we expected, you didn’t let us down.  James “Tapeleg” Gralian, from “The Rink Podcast”, and I talk about our favorite Avalanche memories, how bad the Avs are right now as compared to teams in the past, why we are positive the Avalanche aren’t losing on purpose right now, a few things that would constitute a “jersey foul”, and much, much more.  Hang in there Avalanche fans, the end of the season is coming up here pretty soon.

Special thanks (in no particular order) to Ryan Reebow, Carl Walls, Dario Ronzone, Katie Martinez, Brian Rookstool, Robert Kilpatrick, Jason Hautzinger, Arbon Reimer, Chris Joy, and Mick Semantel for taking the time to get in touch with us and submitting topics and questions for this show.  We didn’t get to all of your questions and ideas in depth, but you’re at least mentioned so it’s definitely worth a listen!

Here are some videos that we referred to in this show.

James’ favorite Avalanche moment:

And why choose one Joe Sakic goal when there are these ten and over 600 more to go with them?

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:

Thanks Andy.  We’ll miss that smile.

Thanks Stewie.  We’ll miss that knuckle burn.  Take it easy on your former team in the future…please.

We’ll miss that toughness too.  Take that Kyle Brodziak!  BOOM!
