Bad news and good news AHP fans…

James and I recorded a podcast this weekend.  Everything seemed like it was cool and we had a great show for you guys.  James went to edit the show and the small sample of what’s attached is what the entire podcast sounded like.  It’s not awful, but it was definitely not good enough for us to post the whole show.  We take pride in the content as well as the sound quality of our podcast and don’t want to compromise either if it’s at all possible.  We apologize for not having a full show for you.  There’s not a whole lot that we can do about that right now with many other important things going on in our lives.  We will record another full show for you here in the near future.  Thanks for your patience with that.

On the flip side, just before we recorded our show, James and I were asked to be guests on another NHL podcast.  Jeff Ponder from The Bash Brothers Podcast recorded a segment with us that he posted here, so please give it a listen.  We go on at the one hour and two minute mark an talk Avs hockey for about 25 minutes.

Below you will find some of the resources that we were going to post with The AHP 83 had it sounded a little bit better.

 

Deadspin: Patrick Roy Goes Nuts, Breaks Stuff

More love for Matt Duchene from Backhand Shelf’s Justin Bourne

Puck Daddy’s Harrison Mooney and his five most surprising teams from the first two weeks of the season

Greg Wyshynski from Puck Daddy also discusses Varly

And the worst locker room interviews ever.  Great stuff!

 

Thanks again for your patience and understanding.  We really do hate to leaving your ear holes unsatisfied.  We are definitely disappointed that our show didn’t turn out the way we wanted it to for you.  We will talk to you again soon though.  Until then, take care and Let’s Go Avs!

In this podcast, James “Tapeleg” Gralian and myself break down almost everything Avalanche that happened since our last show from Jiggy’s comments to Joe Sacco being fired.  Thanks for joining us Avalanche fans and thank you as well for another fantastic season of The AHP.  We truly appreciate your support!

Link from the show: The Hot Corner team from Hockey Night in Canada speculating on upcoming Avalanche management and coaching changes.

And if you’re not A Tribe Called Quest fan the outro is going to make absolutely no sense to you at all.  This video will help make at least some sense out of a pretty epic riff by James.

In this podcast, my podcast partner James “Tapeleg” Gralian from “The Rink Podcast” and I talk about:

  • Whether Varly or Jiggy should be the Avalanche’s number one goaltender right now.
  • We make it clear that you should be very happy that Paul Stastny is not Montreal’s Scott Gomez.
  • We make Twitter predictions on what we think the Avs players and coaching staff did during the All-Star break.
  • We talk about how creepy Pierre McGuire can be.
  • And we have yet another installation of Peter McNab’s “That’s What She Saids.”

Those topics and a whole lot more Avalanche stuff in episode number 70 of The AHP.  Thanks, as always, for the support Avalanche fans.

This episode is brought to you by a 2008-2009 game issued Avalanche jersey as made for former Avalanche goaltending prospect Peter Delmas.

What did the Avalanche do during the All-Star break?  Here are some guesses from us and a few other Avalanche fans: #AvsASGbreak 1/31/12

Proof that Pierre McGuire is indeed creepy.  For example: talking too much, personal space issues, and inappropriate “long stick” references.
