The Avalanche lost 4 straight to Vegas. We have a few ideas about how that happened. Plus a teensy bit of speculation about what the offseason may hold!

Colorado smoked Vegas, got smoked by Vegas, and even played Sampo Ranta! Plus, a center named Wingerli, Mikko's toe pick legal brief, and when will Bednar bring Bowen Byram back to the blueline?

The Colorado Avalanche swept the St. Louis Blues! They await the Vegas Golden Knights in one of the most anticipated playoff series of the last few seasons. Also, some mid-week ELC signings, shakeups in the amateur scouting department, and Jared Bednar may be open to playing Sampo Ranta!?

[hey hi sorry Steph has a minor bitcrush that no one can explain for the opening few minutes of this one - it goes away - thank you for understanding

The usual gang welcome Vlad back aboard to break down the PRESIDENT'S TROPHY WINNING Colorado Avalanche's upcoming series with the St. Louis Blues. Plus, a short stop in the other series, and who's coming back for the Avs this week?

Steph, earl, and Jackie regrettably watched those games this week. BUT that means we got to watch Alex Newhook's debut! Plus, defenders take the scoring reins, the Avs' playoff scenarios, and Steph may refer to audio distortion you can't hear! It was just in my headphones, not recorded, and I'm not for sure that I edited out all the times I mention it! Fun!

After a very up and down week in Avs hockey, Steph, earl, and Jackie circle up to summon healthy players, since the Avalanche blueline is currently decimated. Also, Alex Newhook!

The Avs are back after their Covid pause sequel, and some things don't look quite right. We try to parse which are rust and which might be worrying. Also, Martin Kaut Martin Kaut!, reading the tea leaves on when our players may return, and what's up with Nazem Kadri?

The Avs are taking a little mini-break after getting a couple more Covid positives. We talk about how the trade deadline went and what "going for it" actually means, Big Ol Carl, and a look at the first week of pro hockey for Alex Newhook and Sampo Ranta!

Colorado made a couple trades. Did they get better or worse? Probably not!

The Avalanche continue their relentless tear through the West division, including a Cale Makar clutch winner, the return of the MacK, and Joonas Donskoi's Hat Trick% speedrun. Plus, the team signed some prospects... and also some... not.... prospects?

The Colorado Avalanche haven't lost in regulation since March 2. Also, Tim Peel's career ends, Martin Kaut doing the dang thing in the AHL, one-game reactions to Jonas Johansson, and did you know the Colorado Avalanche haven't lost in regulation since March 2?

The Avalanche dominated this week and scored all of the goals, including the ones that counted against them. Plus, ESPN's return to hockey, how the Avs' defense call-ups are holding the fort (spoiler: with help), and what if the league kept the idea of in-season series?

The Colorado Avalanche played what we can only assume were supposed to be hockey games. Also, Nathan MacKinnon got his head rang up, Hunter Miskadventures, and making sense of a barrage of roster moves on a near constant basis.

Colorado played really bad and then they played really good. What can we learn? Also, the Connor Timmins carousel, Trent Miner surprising in the AHL, earl scratches everybody again, and the constant threat of a way-too-packed schedule looming over every decision!

Steph, earl, and Jackie say words about the Colorado Avalanche's outdoor game and its longest intermission of all time, maybe? Plus, Grubauer Appreciation Hour, Nathan MacKinnon is ridiculous, we're gonna miss the Golden Knights when they're gone (even if Vegas-28 is a turd), and what's going on with the AHL team since most of their regulars have been with the Avs?

The Avalanche are on hiatus due to covid after going without Nathan MacKinnon for one game. Again. Plus, our MVPs and surprises of the season so far, a role found for Tyson Jost, and, regrettably, the Avalanche chose to play He Who Must Not Be Played...

We don't talk about Nathan MacKinnon's injury in this episode because it hadn't happened yet. We do try to figure out how the Avs can find cap space to call up players, marvel at Bowen Byram, and complain about Martin Kaut's demotion, though.

We open the season in busy fashion by bidding adieu to Ian Cole, welcoming Bowen Byram to the lineup, shaking our heads at mystery injuries and the goalie pipeline, and wondering where the second line is!

Burgundy Radio has nothing but hype for the Avs prospects at WJCs, tries to read the tea leaves on the taxi squad, and then gets proven right when news drops during the show!
