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.

Jay’s February 26th blog post on how the Avs imploded just a bit against the Ducks.

Varly gets Joe Thornton to talk to himself a bit on February 26th.  Highway robbery.

Ken Campbell, from The Hockey News, sums up the mess that was February 28th.  One of the better informational reads on what happened in the Ryan O’Reilly situation.

The Score’s Jake Goldsbie bring you “Forced Watching” of the Avs/Oilers game on March 13.  Funny and sad all at the same time.

In this podcast, James “Tapeleg” Gralian and I break down the eight games since our last show, we celebrate Milan Hejduk’s 1000th game as a Av, we discuss bad bounces and glorious non-calls, who is tough, and a whole lot more.  Thanks for joining us Avalanche fans.

Milan Hejduk goes swimming:

The Avalanche’s tribute to Milan Hejduk’s 1000th game with the organization.  Way to go 23:

Justin Bourne breaks down Matt Duchene being offside and not offside all at the same time.

Blog post from The Denver Post’s Mike Chambers shortly after the Avalanche’s 6-5 win against the Preds.  The comments by Barry Trotz make sense.  The comments below the post by the readers make very little sense.

Justin Bourne talks about the many factors that make up hockey toughness.

Aaron Palushaj with the old font number seven on his back.  The number has since been fixed and is now accurate with the newer number font the Avalanche currently use.  The fixed jersey will be in action on February 28th against the Flames at Pepsi Center.
