How hot was Avalanche goaltender Philipp Grubauer during the month of March? Historically hot.

Grubauer finished w/ .955 save percentage this month, highest ever by @Avalanche / Nordiques goalie in March. He topped Patrick Roy’s .952 in March 2003. It was 2nd highest Sv% in ANY calendar month in franchise history (min 7 GP), trailing only Peter Budaj’s .957 in Dec. 2009

Check out the Team Stripes podcast on Soundcloud here or anyplace you get your podcasts. Interesting stories and perspective from a hockey official’s point of view.

Ian Cole’s “fight” with Tom Wilson didn’t go well on February 7. Cole missed the next 11 games with a broken orbital bone. Ouch.

James and Jay discuss the play on March 7th in Dallas that injured Gabriel Landeskog in this show.

Congratulations to Semyon Varlamov who was named the NHL’s number one star for the week ending on February 24th.

Mikko Rantanen made some Avs history as he scored his 30th goal of the season on March 9.

1995-96 is the only other @Avalanche team to feature three different 30-goal scorers. The 1998-99 #Avs had three 30-goal scorers on the roster but that included Theo Fleury, who had 40 goals but 10 with Colorado.#GoAvsGo https://t.co/1mk9cVSnEm

Nathan MacKinnon continues to look strong and super fast. Fittingly, he was named the National Hockey League’s second star for the month of November.

Tyler Bertuzzi brought back some old memories and feelings on December 2 in Detroit and was suspended two games because of his actions.

Detroit’s Tyler Bertuzzi has been suspended for two games for unsportsmanlike conduct/roughing on Colorado’s Matt Calvert. https://t.co/L2E2XHzDNW

Shout out to Dan Emge. He was trying to help us remember when we talked about Peter McNab and his Boston Bruins teammates going into the stands to exchange pleasantries with some Ranger fans at Madison Square Garden in 1979. We still can’t remember which episode that was for us, but here’s some video from YouTube to help us celebrate anyway. This. Is. NUTS.

James and Jay were looking through some of James’ pucks which he has collected through the years during his travels to different rinks. This was one puck that got its message across to us and you’ll hear its message throughout the show. It is, after all, pretty decent advice.
