In this show, James “Tapeleg” Gralian and Jay talk about four good games of ice hockey, they expound upon Nazem Kadri’s game two hit on Justin Faulk (as well as the subsequent suspension), and they also check in on Blues captain Ryan O’Reilly. Those topics and much more Avs and hockey stuff coming at you in episode #129 of the Avs Hockey Podcast. On to round two!

Nazem Kadri was suspended for eight games for this hit on Justin Faulk.
The end-of-series handshake line. One of the best traditions in hockey.

This is episode #129 of The Avs Podcast so James and Jay talk about jersey number 29s in Avalanche history. One of those number 29s was “The Sheriff” Scott Parker. Please check out the details on one of Scott Parker’s game worn jerseys from Jay’s collection here.

This is one of Jay’s favorite modifications to a jersey in his collection. This is what was done on the front of the neck of Scott Parker’s jerseys to keep them from ripping during fights.

In this show James “Tapeleg” Gralian and Jay discuss one big game, some big (and old) additions to the roster, a big month by the big line, and there’s some appreciation shown for the two big guys who run a lot of this team. Those topics and much more Avs and hockey stuff in episode #127 of The Avs Hockey Podcast. It’s Stanley Cup playoff time once again, Avs fans. #GoAvsGo!

Watch Donkey GO OFF against the Coyotes on March 31.
Nathan MacKinnon probably lost any chance he had to win back to back Lady Byng trophies with this outburst, but either way it was really great.
The MacKinnon helmet toss reminded James of this bout between Scott Parker and George Parros in 2007 for obvious reasons.
Conor Garland isn’t having a whole lot of fun against the Avs this season.

James and Jay talk about the chemistry between Joe Sakic and Jared Bednar in this show. We are grateful for this. Columbus is a different place to play right now.

In this podcast, James “Tapeleg” Gralian and Jay discuss the game in Lake Tahoe, who is currently hurt, healthy, stepping up big time, who is backing up Philipp Grubauer, and that time when Tim Peel said the quiet and agreed upon part out loud, while mic’d up. Those topics and much more Avs and hockey stuff coming at you in episode #126 of The Avs Hockey Podcast. Thank you for downloading our show. We appreciate your support!

The outdoor game in Lake Tahoe has quite the storyline. It was anything but boring. “Oh boy.”
This hit by Joachim Blichfield had the hockey world buzzing for a bit. We’re happy Nathan MacKinnon only missed limited time. This could have been way worse.
The Avalanche have played some historically dominant hockey as of late and we’ve all got time for that.
