Ducks take Avalanche
Posted on 7 Feb 2013 by Tyler Hetu.
Well, it looks like the Anaheim Ducks have hit the jackpot in the free-agent market after missing the Stanley Cup Playoffs last year. The acquisitions of defenseman Sheldon Souray, forward Daniel Winnik and goalie Viktor Fasth have played major roles in the Ducks' 7-1-1 start (the best in franchise history). All three players contributed to a 3-0 victory against the Colorado Avalanche ...

San Jose Beat Down
Posted on 28 Jan 2013 by Tyler Hetu.
Before I begin my first ever column, I would like to introduce myself. I'm an aspiring writer, born and raised in the great state of Rhode Island, and I love sports. Although I reside out in New England, I am a die-hard Colorado Avalanche fan. Other than the Avalanche, I will be writing about the Boston Red Sox once the season comes, and any other sporting even that strikes my interest. I hope...

Collapse Continues as Avs Move Backward
Posted on 18 Feb 2011 by Donovan Wilson.
(Denver, Colorado) — They are in mid-stretch in the race for a playoff spot… and the Avs are plummeting to the basement of the Western Conference – laboring night in and night out since the month of December in which they had their best run of the season winning six games in nine days. After leading the league in offense for much of the first part of the season, the Avs have trended...

Avs Goaltenders Not Up to the Task
Posted on 5 Feb 2011 by Adam Lanning.
Things aren’t looking good for the Colorado Avalanche these days. They have lost three games in a row and five out of the last six, and they are having difficulties getting the puck into the net. Something a bit askew for a team ranked fourth in the NHL in terms of scoring goals. There are many factors as to why the Avs are in a slump and why they can’t win any games lately. However, there ...

The Grades: Avalanche Mid-Season Report Card
Posted on 28 Jan 2011 by Donovan Wilson.
With the All-Star break in full swing, and with the second half of the season right around the corner, I thought it fitting to grade the Avalanche for what they did prior to the All-Star break. Clearly, the young Colorado team raised many eye brows with their cardiac style and high-powered offense for much of the first 30 games of the season which saw them play above .500 hockey and lead the ...

Yip, Defense Lead Avs past Blues
Posted on 25 Jan 2011 by Adam Lanning.
It just goes to show that when the Colorado Avalanche score three or more goals, they are a difficult team to contain. The Avs broke a two-game skid against the visiting St. Louis Blues Monday night, and they did it as a team, not as individuals. Even though the Avs got the eventual win, it didn’t come easy, as it took them a while to figure out Blues goalie Jaroslav Halak. The first period w...

Posted on 21 Jan 2011 by Adam Lanning.
Tonight’s matchup between the Colorado Avalanche and the Nashville Predators can be summed up in four words; the Avs got dominated. The Avs lost tonight by a count of 5-1 and lost more than just the game.
