In this podcast James “Tapeleg” Gralian and Jay discuss a depleted Colorado Avalanche lineup, players testing the limits of player safety, and Avalanche jersey style details.

October 13: Bo Byram scores his first of what should be many career goals on opening night against the Blackhawks. What a beauty.
October 13: Captain Gabriel Landeskog (initially incorrectly identified as Nathan MacKinnon in the highlight) hits a vulnerable Kirby Dach during the third period on opening night and received a two-game suspension as a result.

In this show, James “Tapeleg” Gralian and Jay talk about new arrivals to this year’s team and departures from last year’s squad, the importance of roster depth, and they make absolutely no predictions about the upcoming season (while obviously hoping things turn out great.) Those topics and much more Avs and hockey stuff in episode number 131 of the Avs Hockey Podcast. Thank you for joining us for the 15th season of our show and #GoAvsGo!

Looking for plenty of this from a hopefully healthy Bowen Byram this season.

ESPN, NHL.com, theScore, Sportsnet, and many other sources think the Avalanche are ready for a huge season.

All our best to Peter McNab as he recently announced that he had been diagnosed with cancer.

In this show James “Tapeleg” Gralian and Jay discuss one big game, some big (and old) additions to the roster, a big month by the big line, and there’s some appreciation shown for the two big guys who run a lot of this team. Those topics and much more Avs and hockey stuff in episode #127 of The Avs Hockey Podcast. It’s Stanley Cup playoff time once again, Avs fans. #GoAvsGo!

Watch Donkey GO OFF against the Coyotes on March 31.
Nathan MacKinnon probably lost any chance he had to win back to back Lady Byng trophies with this outburst, but either way it was really great.
The MacKinnon helmet toss reminded James of this bout between Scott Parker and George Parros in 2007 for obvious reasons.
Conor Garland isn’t having a whole lot of fun against the Avs this season.

James and Jay talk about the chemistry between Joe Sakic and Jared Bednar in this show. We are grateful for this. Columbus is a different place to play right now.

In this podcast, James “Tapeleg” Gralian and Jay discuss the game in Lake Tahoe, who is currently hurt, healthy, stepping up big time, who is backing up Philipp Grubauer, and that time when Tim Peel said the quiet and agreed upon part out loud, while mic’d up. Those topics and much more Avs and hockey stuff coming at you in episode #126 of The Avs Hockey Podcast. Thank you for downloading our show. We appreciate your support!

The outdoor game in Lake Tahoe has quite the storyline. It was anything but boring. “Oh boy.”
This hit by Joachim Blichfield had the hockey world buzzing for a bit. We’re happy Nathan MacKinnon only missed limited time. This could have been way worse.
The Avalanche have played some historically dominant hockey as of late and we’ve all got time for that.
