Steph, earl, Jackie, and Rudo offer helpful suggestions for how the Avalanche can close out the season. Also, seriously, the power play is dreadful, the future of Avalanche goaltending with Grubauer showing serious signs of life, and it's Jackie's turn to scratch everybody!

Steph, earl, and Jackie thought this thing was over but apparently it isn't. We reflect on a tough week of... wins...? Plus, the lineup without Gabe Landeskog, if and when you can expect Cale Makar, and the question must be asked: Can the Avalanche bank points? Is it possible?

Steph is joined by earl, Rudo, and Jackie after that disgraceful, but flu-ridden, loss to the Anaheim Ducks. Will Ian Cole get suspended? Why did the team stop doing what was working??? Why won't Minnesota just lose their games?????

Steph, earl, tigervixxxen, and Rudo react to the Colorado Avalanche trading for Derick Brassard, the central division moving players all over the place, and Colorado actually winning 4 in a row? What is this? Plus, earl has never heard of Gushers, Sheldon Dries returns from the paper transactions, and the Jets got a conditional pick........... when? 2022? Is that a typo?

(We recorded this before the Avs called up Andrew Aggozino.) Steph is joined by earl, Rudo, and tigervixxxen to talk about some of the things going wrong for the Avalanche this month and dreams for the trade deadline. Also, what a Barrie return might look like, fear of moving past the blueline, and Mr. Tigervixxxen Out Of Nowhere's thoughts on the loss to the Blues!

Jackie is back! She re-joins Steph and earl for a bunch of speculation: What should the Avs do this trade deadline? What might actually happen? What need has to be addressed in the next six months? Which voice on the pod gets a debilitating calf cramp but finishes their shift anyway?

Steph, earl, and Rudo are frustrated by all this Avs losing, bored by the all star game, and excited to see Kendall Coyne Schofield and Brianna Decker from the USWNT showcasing their own talents at the event anyway! Plus, Tyson Jost in the AHL, Spencer Martin had a nearly-nice shutout, and join us next week for a trade deadline preview!

Steph, earl, and Rudo take a look at 3 very different Avalanche hockey games this week and try to figure out what they mean. Also, what to look for while Tyson Jost is an Eagle for a minute, and Carl Soderberg is free!

Steph and earl have heard your complaints and try to figure out which reasons to panic about the Avalanche are worth the anxiety. Also, no one in the West wants to make the playoffs, #GotGabeIn, and the podcast is guest-produced by a ghost!

Steph, earl, Jackie, and Rudo are frustrated with the Avs, but we see signs of life even though a ridiculously tough road trip is coming up. Also, no one knows what Bednar thinks about Francouz, the Avalanche have 2 and maybe 3 All-Stars, and some World Junior updates!

Steph is still slightly sick, but they're joined by earl and Jackie anyway to help you figure out why the Avalanche are losing so much, where the goals went, and why the defense is such a mess. Plus, giving Tyson Jost positivity, it's World Junior time, and find out which Avs prospect earl calls a "Compher that could kill you"!

Steph was uploading this episode when the news broke that the Avs had reassigned AJ Greer and Mark Alt. But they also talked to Earl, Jackie, and Rudo about Colorado's struggles with defending and goaltending this week, how important JT Compher is, and nobody can figure out why you would choose to only keep 12 forwards!

Steph, earl and Jackie break down the road trip and wonder about the playoffs outlook. Plus, trying not to worry about Ian Cole, a hotly contested Star of the Week, and what to do with the injury to Kamenev!

Steph, earl, and Jackie take a look at how the Avalanche have made it a 10 game point streak, The Erik Johnson Red Mist Incident 2018, and what the Avs can do in the absence of two of their defenders. Plus, accolades for an Avs forward, Jackie thinks Sam Girard is okay at hockey, and predicting the road trip!

Steph, earl, Jackie, and Rudo try to figure out who to blame now that the Avs have won 6 of their last 7 games. Also, saying goodbye to Marko Dano, maybe the Pacific actually IS that bad after all, and one of us thinks the Avs can be a Cup contender right now!

Jackie, earl, and Rudo carry a mildly-ill Steph through this week's Avalanche drama, from the scratching of Zadorov, to Grubauer's return. Plus, Mikko Rantanen is godly, looking for more opportunities for Vladislav Kamenev, and what's the PK's problem lately?

Steph, earl, Jackie, and Rudo are back! We wonder if the Avalanche actually have two different power plays and Jackie has a terrible suggestion for the MacKinnon line's nickname. Plus, the offside reviews come for our show D:

THE AVALANCHE SCORED 5 GOALS AND THEN 6 GOALS AND LOST BOTH GAMES! LOUD NOISES! Steph and the gang make a few. Plus, the Kings fired a coach, New Jersey disappeared, and the NHL scheduler was probably on drugs!

The Avalanche played some wildly different games this week, and the gang have Some Thoughts: encouraging losses and how we rate the Avalanche after a month of action. Plus, we're ready to make changes to the top power play unit, and the offside rule is a troll!

Steph, earl, Jackie, and Rudo look at an ugly Avalanche week that still somehow produced a lot of points, how to clean it up against future opponents, and swoon over Mikko Rantanen!
