The injury train is making it’s annual stop in Colorado. This, more than anything, was the downfall of the Avalanche of the 2008-09 season. The train arrived earlier this year than it has the last couple of years, but it’s just been just as effective. Cody McLeod, Darcy Tucker, JM Liles, and now TJ Galiardi [...]

That’s it. The Avs are now officially off to their best start in franchise history. I can’t say enough about the tenacity of this young team. Last night they start about as slow as you can get – 2 goals down less than two minutes into the game?! Like a team heavy on veterans, the [...]

Twenty-nine teams and their fans are still waiting for the Colorado Avalanche to come back down to Earth. Judging by the Avs’ impressive performance against the Edmonton Oilers, they shouldn’t hold their breath. Wojtek Wolski scored two goals and Craig Anderson recorded his second shutout of the season as the Avalanche rolled over their division [...]

I feel like Christmas came early this year! Any time I can watch the Detroit Red Wings take a loss, I’m a happy guy.

In related news, Tyler Weiman has been recalled and will be on hand against the Hurricanes. Weiman is the starting goaltender for the Lake [...]

Cody McLeod is going to be okay it seems. Coach Joe Sacco said McLeod’s vision seems to be okay after he took a stick to the face during the second period of Wednesday’s shootout loss to the Minnesota Wild. As a precautionary measure, Sacco is keeping him [...]

The Colorado Avalanche were nursing a 2-1 lead with five minutes left in the 3rd period, but penalties and and an inability to score in the shootout resulted in a 3-2 loss to the Minnesota Wild Wednesday night.
The Avalanche were doing everything they could in the first period to put themselves behind early, playing nearly [...]
