The Colorado Avalanche can finally wave goodbye to their horrendous, dreadful and ultimately heart-breaking campaign of 2016-17. In fact, I just got sick on my keyboard solely from thinking of it. From the Patrick Roy saga, key player injuries, intense trade rumors, to the complete collapse in consistency, the Avalanche had a season to forget. Farewell to […]

With the NHL trade deadline behind us, Colorado Avalanche fans and (certain)players alike can breathe a collective sigh of relief — for now. They’ve had an atrocious year in almost every category, so there were obviously going to be some trade rumors that come along with this type of season. The Avalanche weren’t nearly as active as […]

The Colorado Avalanche are heading North where they will face-off against the Montreal Canadiens in the first meeting between the two teams. Colorado has a pretty nice all-time record against the Canadiens at 16-7-3-0, so they’ll be looking to add another W in that column tonight. The Avalanche have to take it to the injury […]

To say the 2016-17 NHL season has not begun the way the Colorado Avalanche would have liked is an understatement to say the least. It’s been a terribly inconsistent beginning to the new era under Head Coach Jared Bednar. That said, there are plenty of things to like about this new Avalanche team, and you […]

Today, the Colorado Avalanche officially introduced their new Head-Coach Jared Bednar during a press conference held at the Pepsi Center. The press conference featured the new coach Bednar, Owner Josh Kroenke, and General Manager Joe Sakic. Born in Yorkton, Saskatchewan, Jared Bednar has played and coached the game on multiple levels throughout his career. Now […]

Avalanche at a Glance is back and pumped up for the new season. This edition, Kevin Goff and I will touch on the recent news of Patrick Roy resigning from the Colorado Avalanche, as well as their new-look defense. Thoughts on Patrick Roy’s Departure SEBASTIAN HEDLEY-NOBLE: Patrick Roy shocked the hockey world recently, announcing his resignation from […]

The Colorado Avalanche have gone through a lot of change since the arrivals of Joe Sakic and Patrick Roy. Last season, more than half the team was overhauled, and now they can move forward with their plan. This summer, they’ve added some nice pieces to the puzzle, not just for the NHL, but for their […]

Today, the Colorado Avalanche released their 2016 preseason schedule. Colorado will play six games, three sets of series’ against the Dallas Stars, Los Angeles Kings, and Minnesota Wild. The Avalanche start out their preseason schedule with an away game against their recent heated rivals Minnesota, which sets things up rather nicely for fans. Colorado will also get […]

The Colorado Avalanche have found themselves in a decent position when it comes to making the playoffs. Coach Roy has the Avalanche prepared for battle, and what a battle it could turn out to be. The Avs are currently in control, with a game in hand on the Minnesota Wild and just a point behind […]

The Colorado Avalanche are in the midst of a nail-biting playoff race between them and the Minnesota Wild for that precious last wild card position. Recent events, along with this crazy post-season chase has the Avalanche climbing mountains. Nothing comes easy in this league and Colorado is finding that out in waves at the moment.

Kevin Goff and I will discuss two topics every edition and add our favorite moments(video) at the end. We hope you enjoy the read and look forward to more Avalanche at a Glance posts.

The Colorado Avalanche are in for an amazing finish with playoff action to follow, or a very disappointing end by just missing out. It’s either or, quite simple. The wild-card race in the Western Conference has become a two-horse one. A race between rivals, Colorado and the Minnesota Wild. Both teams do not care for one […]

The Colorado Avalanche have made their intentions clear with the trades they completed today. Colorado’s deadline day was most productive and exciting. Joe Sakic and Patrick Roy were not messing about, checking a couple of big boxes on their list. This coming just shortly after another checked box with the recent acquisition of Shawn Matthias. […]

The Colorado Avalanche acquired forward Shawn Matthias from the Toronto Maple Leafs yesterday. A deal that saw a 2016 4th round draft pick and AHL center Colin Smith sent the other way. Matthias was originally drafted 47th overall in 2006 by the Detroit Red-Wings. However he never played a game for Detroit. He started his NHL […]

Welcome to the second edition of Avalanche at a Glance, Kevin Goff and I will be tackling two topics(Colorado Avalanche related) every week and discussing them. This will be a regular column for THW and hopefully it will improve each week! We hope you guys enjoy the read. Line Combinations SEBASTIAN HEDLEY-NOBLE: To start off this […]

When the Colorado Avalanche traded Ryan O’Reilly to the Buffalo Sabres, it’s become clear as to why Mikhail Grigorenko was targeted as one of the main pieces coming back. The kid from Khabarovsk, Russia oozes talent, and before long we could be calling him “The Great Grigorenko”(or something like that, you get the idea). Grigor […]

The Colorado Avalanche have struggled mightily since the All-Star break, mainly because they’re not hitting the back of the net as much as they’d like. Colorado’s conundrum can be solved, there are three options, in my eyes, that the team needs to strongly consider. If the Avalanche can make 2 out of 3 of these decisions(3 of 3 […]

There’s a new top line in the town of the NHL. It might come as a big surprise to some, though it shouldn’t at all when you really look at it. The Colorado Avalanche, who stumbled out of the gates quite badly, have the NHL’s best line. That line consists of Matt Duchene, Gabe Landeskog, and […]

The Colorado Avalanche have been playing without their number one goalie for some time now. That came to an end last night, as Semyon Varlamov took back control of his crease. Varlamov didn’t have to stand on his head like the last couple of years, as the shots against have been cut down by quite […]

The Colorado Avalanche just thumped one of the best teams in the league, the Montreal Canadiens, in their own barn. This was no fluke win. The Avalanche finally look like a team with an identity. They finally have put all parts of their game together, and they are finally on a very solid winning streak. […]
