James and Jay’s favorite hockey things since their last show:

James: NPR documented a rookie goaltender’s journey in professional hockey. Part one is here and part two is here.

There HAS to be cleaner places to wash your mouth guard, but oh well.

In this season-ending podcast James “Tapeleg” Gralian and Jay talk about the series against the Kraken, they discuss what next season’s team may look like, and James solves all the problems with questionable hits and suspensions too. Those topics and much more Avs and hockey stuff in episode #145 of The Avs Hockey Podcast. Thank you for yet another great season, friends.

This hit, early in game three, earned Cale Makar a one game suspension.

This hit by Jordan Eberle, late in the second period of game six, broke a vertebrae in Andrew Cogliano’s neck and earned Eberle a two-minute minor penalty for boarding.

New York Rangers captain Jacob Trouba presented longtime fan Isaiah with a full scholarship to law school.

Isaiah, a survivor of the Sandy Hook school shooting in 2012, also got to exchange phone numbers with Trouba. ❤️💙

Literally right after we recorded this show it was announced that Peter McNab had passed away. We will talk about this huge loss to the Avalanche organization and community in our next show.

A hat trick while playing in your home country? Well done, Mikko Rantanen.
