In this podcast James “Tapeleg” Gralian and Jay discuss the new look of the team following the trade deadline, who’s hot and who’s not, and they say a fond farewell to some now former Avs. Those topics and much more Avs and hockey stuff in episode #149 of The Avs Hockey Podcast. Thanks for your support, Avs friends!

James’ favorite hockey things since the last show:

Jagr Bobblehead Giveaway Postponed: 25,000 Jaromir Jagr bobbleheads are nowhere to be found. Going to be interesting to see where the story goes from here.

5 on 5 Goalie Madness: They know how to party in Bellingham, Washington. This sounds awesome. Here’s the link to a Reddit post as well.

Jay’s favorite hockey things since the last show:

Where are you going, Bo?: Bo Byram’s debut on Buffalo’s PP1 almost needed the Benny Hill theme music over the top of it. If you’re on X make sure to read the comments as well. Some great stuff in there.

Patrick Roy is a man of the people: Patrick Roy makes sure to take care of the fan behind the Islanders bench who is wearing a vintage Patrick Roy Avalanche t-shirt. Good hockey stuff.

“Chill, fellas.” – Big Z, probably: Mikko Rantanen and Cale Makar punish a Canucks player while trying to dislodge a puck that’s actually 150 feet away. Welcome to the league, kid.

In this season-ending podcast James “Tapeleg” Gralian and Jay talk about the series against the Kraken, they discuss what next season’s team may look like, and James solves all the problems with questionable hits and suspensions too. Those topics and much more Avs and hockey stuff in episode #145 of The Avs Hockey Podcast. Thank you for yet another great season, friends.

This hit, early in game three, earned Cale Makar a one game suspension.
This hit by Jordan Eberle, late in the second period of game six, broke a vertebrae in Andrew Cogliano’s neck and earned Eberle a two-minute minor penalty for boarding.
This is the good hockey stuff.

In this show, James “Tapeleg” Gralian and Jay mention what grinds their gears on broadcasts, they preview the upcoming playoff series against the Seattle Kraken, and they discuss that maybe, finally the team may be mostly out of a season-long injury hole. Those topics and much more Avs and hockey stuff coming up in episode number 144 of The AHP. Thank you for joining us, friends!

Nathan MacKinnon’s hat trick and four points overall led the team to a game 82 victory and another Central Division title in Nashville on April 14, 2023.
Was looking to share Mikko Rantanen’s Avs record 55th goal this season, but why watch only one goal when you can watch all 55?

James and Jay got to discussing the largest trade in Avs/Quebec history. Here’s a link to much of the Eric Lindros trade tree that impacted and shaped the future of the Avalanche organization for years and years to come.
