Jay is hoping Nathan MacKinnon gets his confidence back soon after listening to AvsCast Episode #24.  Shout out to Ryan and Ron for the shout out.

Six former Avalanche players were named to the NHL’s top 100 players as the league celebrates their 100th anniversary.  The most notable players were Hall of Famers Joe Sakic, Patrick Roy, and Peter Forsberg.

Here’s the rest of the NHL100 list including other former Avs players (who you can filter for): Ray Bourque, Teemu Selanne, and Jari Kurri.

Sportnet’s Jonathan Willis presents sensible Avalanche rebuild ideas/moves.

Sportsnet documents BIG dips in television ratings this season.  Whoa.

Mikko Rantanen made it rain (hats) at Pepsi Center on February 6.  This was his first career hat trick and hopefully the first of many more.

 

Jay closely watched/stalked Canadiens goaltender Carey Price during the hat trick game.  He was definitely impressed.  Check out the details here.

Our favorite number four in Colorado Avalanche history: Rob Blake

Number four could do it all.

A gassed Nathan MacKinnon scores a big shorthanded first period goal against the Bruins in Boston on December 8, 2016.

Matt Duchene scores another “lucky” road goal this season.  This made ten goals on the road in ten road games played for number 9.

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.
