In this show, James “Tapeleg” Gralian and Jay talk about Cale Makar’s greatness according to us (as well as his teammates), who should and who shouldn’t be dropping the gloves to protect their teammates, and they also break down the moves the Avalanche made at the trade deadline. Those topics and much more Avs and hockey stuff coming at you in episode number 136 of The Avs Hockey Podcast. Buckle up for the final stretch before the playoffs, friends.

Defenseman Josh Manson is working on being strategic with the feedback he gives Cale Makar. Great stuff.

Jay thinks the honkage on this goal should have began when Cale Makar picked up the puck at the blue line.

Minnesota’s Matt Dumba went for the big hit Mikko Rantanen and Nathan MacKinnon didn’t hesitate to stick up for his teammate. MacKinnon ended up missing the next game. Should MacKinnon, Gabe Landeskog, or Nazem Kadri be fighting right now?
Shout out to Pierre Lacroix’s niece for hooking Jay’s Dad up with a couple Lacroix night warm-up pucks.

In this show, James “Tapeleg” Gralian and Jay discuss a never boring month of Avalanche hockey, two gorgeous overtime game winning goals, all-star players (and a coach too), and Jay shares some seriously smokin’ hot takes. Those topics and plenty more Avs and hockey stuff coming at you in episode #134 of The Avs Hockey Podcast. Happy New Year and thanks for the support, friends!

How about some throwback hockey? We don’t get to see heavyweight bouts like this one between Kurtis MacDermid and Ryan Reaves (on December 14) very often at all anymore.

Cale Makar had a chance to end overtime on January 4 in Chicago and he did NOT disappoint. What a goal.
Too many men in Nashville on January 11th? It might be worth another look.

Check out Kukla’s Korner. It’s a good hockey resource which has been around for a very long time.

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.
