that just about sums up my reaction to the
past two games. Good god somebody help the Avalanche win a game on the road. And no, that's not a photo of me.
Avalanche bloggers combine for a giant cooperative consideration
of the biggest questions facing the Colorado hockey team.
The Avalanche unveiled it's new RBK Edge jersey
"system" and the response among fans has been overwhelmingly
negative. It's not hard to see why. This post breaks down the mistakes made by a team that should have stuck to what already worked.
Already tonight, I've raved a bit about the
Brett Clark signing - a signing that hasn't exactly
been received with open arms with the Avalanche community. Most people think $3.5 million for an average defenseman is too much. Me? I wonder what sport ...
The Avalanche have released the entire schedule for
the Rookie/Training/Scrimmage Camp beginning on September 8, just five
merciful days from now. On the 8th, the rookies will report to camp for three days of intense training sessions, the best of ...
Finally, after rumors first surfaced back in June,
Avalanche center Pierre Turgeon has announced his retirement from
the NHL. After 19 seasons, 1294 games and 1327 total points, "Sneaky Pete" has hung up his skates. Considered one of the ...
The Avalanche organization continues making all the right
moves this off-season, first with superb free agent signings,
then with the retention of important players from last season, and now with a contract extension for one of my favorite Avs: Ian ...
Okay, I know most of the comments here
are meant in good humor and with a gentle
nudge to the ribs, but I want to clarify my use of certain terminology just to make sure I'm not misunderstood. As several illustrious MHH members have pointed ...

to everyone's elevated expectations as always, Sidney Crosby couldn't
keep his Penguins ahead of the Colorado Avalanche for very long. The Kid scored two goals in the first period but ...
The Colorado Avalanche lost their first overtime game
this season to the Vancouver Canucks, who are now
2-0 against the Avs so far. You know it's a boring game when both team's goalies are among the three stars, and I didn't make it past the second ...
Even though Colorado Avalanche fans want to hate
the Flames, it's tough because the Flames just aren't
that good. It takes a good team to be a good rival.
The agonizing introspection over fighting in the NHL
just got worse thanks to Sean Avery's big mouth.
Does fighting still have a place in the game, or is hockey better off without it?
I'm not exactly sure what we were expecting
from the Avalanche this summer, but it had to
be more than this. Though the free agent pool was relatively thin overall, there were still attractive names like Hossa and Rolston and Campbell and ...

game recap : "We feel very fortunate to get
the two points and that's what great goaltending will do for you," Sakic said. "All the credit goes to Theo for keeping us in there and giving us a ...
photo courtesy of Jack Dempsey/AP The streak had
to end sometime. Through a combination of sloppy defense,
shaky goaltending and uncoordinated offense, the Avalanche lost at home for the first time this season, 4-3 to the Vancouver Canucks. The ...
The Avalanche came from behind again, but this
time the Flames didn't get a point from the
loss, as Colorado rolled over them 4-1 . The Flame-Outs are now 0-1-2 on the season against their hated rivals from Denver. Once again, strong ...
Well, it wasn't a huge surprise, but it
was disappointing nonetheless. The Red Wings beat the Avalanche
4-2 at home in front of the first sellout crowd at the Pepsi Center in a long time. Helping fill out The Can was a fair number of ...
Well, the Avalanche didn't get blown out by
a far superior Red Wings team. For that I
am grateful. But they still got beat, and they still are just barely treading water as far as division and playoff positions go. The Colorado defense ...
It appears that Manny Legace's Avalanche mind control
powers are back in full effect. 40 shots,
39 stops . That's ridiculous. At least Peter Budaj played very well in relief of Jose Theodore, something he failed to do last time ...
Last night's appalling loss to the Red Wings---the
fourth in the row for the team---revealed, for all
to see, that the Colorado Avalanche needs a serious overhaul like yesterday. First of all, Coach Joel Quenneville and his assistants Tony Granato ...
