Jay is hoping Nathan MacKinnon gets his confidence back soon after listening to AvsCast Episode #24.  Shout out to Ryan and Ron for the shout out.

Six former Avalanche players were named to the NHL’s top 100 players as the league celebrates their 100th anniversary.  The most notable players were Hall of Famers Joe Sakic, Patrick Roy, and Peter Forsberg.

Here’s the rest of the NHL100 list including other former Avs players (who you can filter for): Ray Bourque, Teemu Selanne, and Jari Kurri.

Sportnet’s Jonathan Willis presents sensible Avalanche rebuild ideas/moves.

Sportsnet documents BIG dips in television ratings this season.  Whoa.

Mikko Rantanen made it rain (hats) at Pepsi Center on February 6.  This was his first career hat trick and hopefully the first of many more.

 

Jay closely watched/stalked Canadiens goaltender Carey Price during the hat trick game.  He was definitely impressed.  Check out the details here.

Our favorite number four in Colorado Avalanche history: Rob Blake

Number four could do it all.

Matt Duchene scores another “lucky” road goal this season.  This made ten goals on the road in ten road games played for number 9.
