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.

February 8: Brayden Schenn asked Gabriel Landeskog to dance prior to the opening face off in St. Louis so they did what hockey players do and they danced.

Starting(?) goaltender Jonathan Bernier was named the NHL’s third star for the month of January.  It was a great stretch of play for him and the team.  A well deserved honor.

Nathan MacKinnon scored the first goal of the All-Star game.  That was fun.

The accolades keep coming for Nathan MacKinnon this season.  He was named the NHL’s first star for the week ending on January 21.

Avalanche captain Gabriel Landeskog was suspended for four games on November 27.  This was cross checking and this was the ALWAYS entertaining discussion on Twitter after the suspension was announced there.

Avalanche defenseman Erik Johnson was suspended for two games on December 17.  This was boarding and this was the ALWAYS entertaining discussion on Twitter after the suspension was announced there.

Nathan MacKinnon’s hot streak continues.  The Panthers end up on the wrong side of the highlight reel after this beauty in Sunrise.
