In this show, James “Tapeleg” Gralian and I cover all the games since our last podcast (including some Olympic hockey), we honor Milan Hejduk and his career with the Avalanche, we discuss the possibility of an outdoor game to be hosted in Denver next season, and we showcase Semyon Varlamov’s new skill of making glove saves with no stick, a screen from his own defenseman, and his mask half on.  These topics and much more Avalanche and hockey stuff in episode #87 of The Avs Hockey Podcast.

Thank you, as always, for joining us Avalanche fans.

This is the Pierre Turgeon edition of The AHP.

There is a possibility of a Stadium Series game here in Denver next season.

The slash which cost Erik Johnson two games.

Varly: Lack of a stick, a screen from Cory Sarich, and his mask being a mess was still not enough to keep him from making this glove save against the Phoenix Coyotes.

Where will Paul Stastny go, if anywhere?

The CBC helps us make some sense out of this season’s new playoff format.

Are the Avs good or just on a hot streak?  Read this and decide for yourself.

Patrick Roy is a little upset after Antoine Vermette’s second goal of the game that put the Coyotes up 3-1 at the time (December 10, 2013.)

How much respect did Joe Sakic get from his competition?  This much.

Bad news and good news AHP fans…

James and I recorded a podcast this weekend.  Everything seemed like it was cool and we had a great show for you guys.  James went to edit the show and the small sample of what’s attached is what the entire podcast sounded like.  It’s not awful, but it was definitely not good enough for us to post the whole show.  We take pride in the content as well as the sound quality of our podcast and don’t want to compromise either if it’s at all possible.  We apologize for not having a full show for you.  There’s not a whole lot that we can do about that right now with many other important things going on in our lives.  We will record another full show for you here in the near future.  Thanks for your patience with that.

On the flip side, just before we recorded our show, James and I were asked to be guests on another NHL podcast.  Jeff Ponder from The Bash Brothers Podcast recorded a segment with us that he posted here, so please give it a listen.  We go on at the one hour and two minute mark an talk Avs hockey for about 25 minutes.

Below you will find some of the resources that we were going to post with The AHP 83 had it sounded a little bit better.

And the worst locker room interviews ever.  Great stuff!

 

Thanks again for your patience and understanding.  We really do hate to leaving your ear holes unsatisfied.  We are definitely disappointed that our show didn’t turn out the way we wanted it to for you.  We will talk to you again soon though.  Until then, take care and Let’s Go Avs!
