I Hear That Train a-Comin’

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.

Another Impressive Victory

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

Briefs: Stewart Recalled; Budaj to Start

Just a quick post tonight for a few announcements.
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 [...]

Avs Beat Themselves, Lose to Wild in Shootout

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 [...]
