My passion for game worn jerseys and telling their stories has been well documented here for many years. I have quietly collected Avalanche game used and goal scored pucks throughout the years as well. These pucks, just like jerseys, have stories to tell. As expected, I really enjoy doing the research and exploring the details and figured it was time to share some puck history here too. Hoping you appreciate these small pieces of Colorado Avalanche history as much as I do.

There are times on eBay when something gets listed at a certain “Buy It Now” price and there’s this instinctive feeling that the item won’t last long at all on the site. This puck was one of those times and one of those pickups. Sometimes you’re on the app at the right time and you get lucky.

THE DATE: November 14, 2015

THE VENUE: Bell Centre. Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

THE GOAL: Nathan MacKinnon at 18:38 of the first period of play.

THE DETAILS: This was MacKinnon’s eighth goal of the season, the 46th goal of his career, his second goal of the first period, and his second goal in 13 seconds. I’m guessing this puck has the least amount of actual game play on it as compared to any other puck in my collection. This goal made the game 3-0 at the time. The Avs eventually won this game by a final score of 6-1.

THE ASSISTS: Mikhail Grigorenko and Matt Duchene

THE HIGHLIGHT: At :45 of the video below. This was a very nice backhand.

When you get the chance to add a goal puck from one of the best players in the game you do it. Always fun to go back in time and watch some older footage too. Thanks for checking out the post. There will be more to come.

Until the next AHP goal puck, #GoAvsGo.
