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.

 

Deadspin: Patrick Roy Goes Nuts, Breaks Stuff

A cool .gif of Patrick Roy breaking stuff

John Buccigross’ column on Patrick Roy

More love for Matt Duchene from Backhand Shelf’s Justin Bourne

Puck Daddy’s Harrison Mooney and his five most surprising teams from the first two weeks of the season

Stephen Whyno from The Canadian Press talks about Semyon Varlamov

Greg Wyshynski from Puck Daddy also discusses Varly

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!

In this podcast, James “Tapeleg” Gralian and myself break down almost everything Avalanche that happened since our last show from Jiggy’s comments to Joe Sacco being fired.  Thanks for joining us Avalanche fans and thank you as well for another fantastic season of The AHP.  We truly appreciate your support!

Link from the show: The Hot Corner team from Hockey Night in Canada speculating on upcoming Avalanche management and coaching changes.

And if you’re not A Tribe Called Quest fan the outro is going to make absolutely no sense to you at all.  This video will help make at least some sense out of a pretty epic riff by James.

In this show James “Tapeleg” Gralian and I break down the past 12 games since our last podcast, we discuss the return of Ryan O’Reilly to the Avalanche lineup, we explain why blaming officials doesn’t solve your issues, and we share our thoughts on the NHL realignment.  Those topics and much more Avalanche and hockey stuff coming at you in episode #78 of The AHP.  Thanks for your support Avs fans!

Resources and helpful links from this show:

Jay’s February 26th blog post on how the Avs imploded just a bit against the Ducks.

Varly gets Joe Thornton to talk to himself a bit on February 26th.  Highway robbery.

Ken Campbell, from The Hockey News, sums up the mess that was February 28th.  One of the better informational reads on what happened in the Ryan O’Reilly situation.

R.J. Umberger almost takes a puck off the Galiardis as Artem Anisimov scores the overtime game-winner against the Avs on March 3rd.

The Score’s Jake Goldsbie bring you “Forced Watching” of the Avs/Oilers game on March 13.  Funny and sad all at the same time.

In this podcast, James “Tapeleg” Gralian and I break down the eight games since our last show, we celebrate Milan Hejduk’s 1000th game as a Av, we discuss bad bounces and glorious non-calls, who is tough, and a whole lot more.  Thanks for joining us Avalanche fans.

Milan Hejduk goes swimming:

The Avalanche’s tribute to Milan Hejduk’s 1000th game with the organization.  Way to go 23:

Justin Bourne breaks down Matt Duchene being offside and not offside all at the same time.

Blog post from The Denver Post’s Mike Chambers shortly after the Avalanche’s 6-5 win against the Preds.  The comments by Barry Trotz make sense.  The comments below the post by the readers make very little sense.

Justin Bourne talks about the many factors that make up hockey toughness.

Aaron Palushaj with the old font number seven on his back.  The number has since been fixed and is now accurate with the newer number font the Avalanche currently use.  The fixed jersey will be in action on February 28th against the Flames at Pepsi Center.
