Colorado Avalanche Vitaly Kolesnik Game Worn jersey

The season of 2005-06 was a strange on for anyone watching the NHL. Coming out of the lockout, fans saw their favorite players walk away to other teams for more money, new rules were in place, a new national broadcaster was getting their feet wet and their faces flattened, and everything else was fraught with [...]

Dog Days of Summer

Last summer seemed like the longest off-season ever. For me, it dragged and dragged, and I couldn’t wait for October to come. This summer has a different feel to it, with the impending approach of training camp and the start of the season feeling like a bulldozer riding up my ankles.

I’m looking forward to the [...]

The Perfect Third Jersey Comment

This was so spot on, I thought it deserved it’s own post.

Mark from Alaska wrote this comment about the Avs 3rd jersey:

They look like a replica of an old fashioned sweater using new technology/fabrics. I don’t buy into the fact that a sleek fabric makes a player better or faster. Constant gut-checks, love of the [...]

Avalanche Unveil 3rd Jersey… Which I Won’t Be Buying

The Colorado Avalanche finally showed off their latest abomination to the hockey world powered by Reebok 3rd jersey to the world, and while it has elements of the original 3rd, it really isn’t any match.

(the picture is from Icethetics, who got it somewhere else)

Great, the Avs will be playing in a Snuggie.

Look, I’ve made no [...]

Can I Get an Amen?

I can’t do this forever, but I could do it all day long for now.

The Avs have first place in the league locked up.

That is all.

I’m Not Saying, I’m Just Saying…

The Avalanche are tied for first place in the league.

I know it won’t last. I know 11 games are not an entire season. But I’m going to cherish this moment. I hope you do to.

Avalanche vs. Red Wings. Catch it!

Another night on the DVR. There is a certain anxiety in these games I watch after work. I don’t want to watch the Avs lose, and certainly not to the Red Wings. Even though this is a rebuilding year, there is a feeling that these kids are ready for the big time, thanks to [...]

Avs vs. Canes: A Few Notes

I haven’t done a game report in a while. Mine aren’t like your average game recaps. My “insight” and focus goes in different directions. Enjoy.

- The amount of turnovers in the first six minutes were mind boggling. It seemed like everyone had a number eight on their back.

- Is there a reason for Scott [...]

I Know It Won’t Last

Look, it won’t last. There is no way it will last. But the top and bottom of the standings just make me happy. So damn happy.

So happy….

Avs Trade Leopold to Flames for Bag of Pucks

See you later, Leopold. Don’t let the door hit you.

That may sound kind of mean. I don’t ned to pick on Jordan Leopold, his services, when available, were decent enough. But it hasn’t been easy to get the taste of his first season with the Avs out of the mouth. It [...]
