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.

In this podcast, James “Tapeleg” Gralian and Jay talk about the first quarter of the season, an Avalanche of injuries, kale (Cale) we both enjoy, when play should be stopped in the NHL and points too. Those topics and much more Avs and hockey stuff in episode #122 of The Avs Hockey Podcast. Thank you for joining us!

Should play have been stopped when Matt Calvert took this Elias Pettersson shot to the side of the helmet? NHL players chime in here.

The NHL doesn’t seem to be worried about actual wins and losses as much as it used to be. Steve Simmons, of the Toronto Sun, talks more about that here.

The Altitude TV and Comcast fight has gotten even uglier. Westword has more about that here.

Sean Tierney uses a tool called Tableau to help hockey analytics be more visual and simpler to understand. Check out his Twitter feed here.

Check out “From the Cheap Seats“, an Avalanche fan podcast with interesting guests. Jay has been enjoying the show and hopes you all enjoy it as well.
