In this show, James “Tapeleg” Gralian and Jay discuss the Colorado Avalanche Hockey Club digging out of a big hole, Matt Duchene’s record setting November, Semyon Varlamov’s solid December, Jarome Iginla’s 600th career goal, and why Andreas Martinsen is okay by us.  Those topics and much more Avs and hockey stuff in episode #99 of The Avs Hockey Podcast.  Happy New Year, Avs fans!

Stuff you should definitely click on:

EJ has been out for a few games.  He missed a shift or two after this mishap in New York.  Lucky man.

Jarome Iginla now has 600 career goals. The chin strap on his helmet doesn’t care how many goals he’s scored.

For those of you too young to have experienced the Avs/Red Wings rivalry, it was how much current fans dislike the Wild times about 100.  Check out this link for one of many examples of the “hockey hate” between the two teams.
