In this podcast, James “Tapeleg” Gralian and Jay recap the first round matchup against the Nashville Predators, they discuss the difference between some rest and possibly too much rest, and they also highlight the potential keys to the second round series against the St. Louis Blues (after watching game one.) Those topics and much more Avs and hockey stuff coming at you in episode #138 of The Avs Hockey Podcast. Thanks for the listen, Avs friends!

Cale Makar ends game two in overtime against the Preds on May 5. This was his 12th shot on goal during the game which set a new Avalanche franchise playoff record.

Andre Burakovsky scores to give the Avalanche an early 1-0 lead during game four on May 9th. Thank goodness for replay.

TNT mic’d up Josh Manson for game one against the Blues on May 17. This could not have worked out better from a television perspective.

Defenseman Josh Manson is working on being strategic with the feedback he gives Cale Makar. Great stuff.

Minnesota’s Matt Dumba went for the big hit Mikko Rantanen and Nathan MacKinnon didn’t hesitate to stick up for his teammate. MacKinnon ended up missing the next game. Should MacKinnon, Gabe Landeskog, or Nazem Kadri be fighting right now?

Shout out to Pierre Lacroix’s niece for hooking Jay’s Dad up with a couple Lacroix night warm-up pucks.
