In this (in AHP terms) historic podcast, James “Tapeleg” Gralian and Jay talk about the Blues and Oilers series, they revisit the exhaustive list of playoff hockey clichés, and they make absolutely no predictions because everyone knows exactly what we want to see happen in the Stanley Cup Final. Those topics and much more Avs and hockey stuff in episode #139 of The Avs Hockey Podcast. Four wins away, friends!

Darren Helm becomes an Avalanche playoff legend with this series-clinching goal late in game six against the Blues.

Evander Kane’s hit on Nazem Kadri early in game three in the Western Conference Final against Edmonton. Kane was suspended for game four. Kadri was sent back to Denver, had surgery on his right thumb, and has been ruled out indefinitely.
Artturi Lehkonen sends his team to the Stanley Cup Final (for the second straight season) with a series-clinching goal in overtime.
Episode number 139 of course means that there is a T.J. Galiardi mention in the show. No one got hit downstairs more as an Avalanche player. Here’s one of the many examples of this fact.

In this show, James “Tapeleg” Gralian and Jay talk about Cale Makar’s greatness according to us (as well as his teammates), who should and who shouldn’t be dropping the gloves to protect their teammates, and they also break down the moves the Avalanche made at the trade deadline. Those topics and much more Avs and hockey stuff coming at you in episode number 136 of The Avs Hockey Podcast. Buckle up for the final stretch before the playoffs, friends.

Defenseman Josh Manson is working on being strategic with the feedback he gives Cale Makar. Great stuff.

Jay thinks the honkage on this goal should have began when Cale Makar picked up the puck at the blue line.

Minnesota’s Matt Dumba went for the big hit Mikko Rantanen and Nathan MacKinnon didn’t hesitate to stick up for his teammate. MacKinnon ended up missing the next game. Should MacKinnon, Gabe Landeskog, or Nazem Kadri be fighting right now?
Shout out to Pierre Lacroix’s niece for hooking Jay’s Dad up with a couple Lacroix night warm-up pucks.

In this podcast James “Tapeleg” Gralian and Jay talk about all the players who stepped up big when Nathan MacKinnon went out, Nazem Kadri’s best stretch of play as a member of the team, a heathy (and spectacular) Cale Makar, and the current list of injuries that’s WAY too long. Those topics and much more Avs and hockey stuff coming at you in episode #133 of The Avs Hockey Podcast. Thanks for listening, friends!

Cale Makar’s out here making more history and being mentioned with the greats of the game. He’s just getting started too.
Congrats to The Captain for joining some exclusive Avalanche company.
