Tell It Avs It Is Podcast: A Colorado Avalanche Podcast

The Avalanche had their 17 game home winning streak snapped against the Toronto Maple Leafs in a overtime loss, but are getting a much needed few days of rest after 6 games in the last ten days. Are they getting enough from their depth during January so far, and do they have anything to really worry about with such a large lead over the rest of the NHL?

The Avalanche continue to roll at home with their 17th straight win, shutting out the Columbus Blue Jackets 4-0 with Trent Miner's first career win. Even in a game where their stars are held point less, the Avs depth is still able to come through and dominate. The trade deadline rumors are beginning to swirl as some teams spiral out of control, could the Avs do any big game hunting before the deadline?

After their first two straight regulation losses of the season, the Avalanche kicked off a seven game homestand with a 8-2 embarrassment of the Ottawa Senators on the back of Josh Manson's best game of his career and a Gordie Howe hat trick. Additionally, the Avs are finally getting to play another outdoor game as they head to Utah to play the Mammoth in the 2027 Winter Classic.

The health of Gabe Landeskog immediately became the top priority for the Avs in just their third regulation loss of the year against Florida, but it seems they avoided the worst case with an upper body injury. Additionally, Toews and Blackwood will also some miss some time. The loss to Florida comes on the heels of another great comeback win over the Hurricanes, with the powerplay finally coming through. Team USA also named their Olympic roster, and it sucks, but Brock Nelson made it so it's fine.

2025 has come to a close, and what a run it's been for the Avalanche since October, as the first team in NHL history to hit 30 wins before the new year. Blackwood and Wedgewood being snubbed from Team Canada couldn't the new years spirit, as the Avalanche got to embarrass Jordan Binnington who was selected instead in front of the GM who picked him, running the Blues out of the building with a 6-1 dominant win. With Nathan MacKinnon hitting 400 goals as well, there's so much greatness to reflect on as we head into 2026.

Even when the Avalanche don't play their best, they just find a way to lose, winning their first shootout of the season as they comeback from three separate deficits in their first game back from Christmas break against Vegas.

How big is the gap between the Avalanche and the Wild, even after adding Quinn Hughes?

As if the Central wasn't ridiculous enough already, Quinn Hughes is heading to the Minnesota Wild in a blockbuster trade. While it does make the Wild better, does it put them on the same level of the Avalanche and Stars? Can they re-sign him after the hefty price they paid? In Avs updates, Gavin Brindley's return helped smoke the defending champion Florida Panthers following another shootout loss in Nashville that shows once and for all how pointless shootouts are.

How you bounce back is what matters, and the Avs responded to a rare regulation loss with two straight hard fought wins on the road over the New York Rangers and Philadelphia Flyers, overcoming controversial officiating and a back to back for four road points.

There comes a point where you can only say how good a team is so many times before you start to run out of different things to say, and after yet another stress free 3-1 win for the Avalanche over the Canucks, we are officially starting to hit that point. The Avalanche are hitting heights that haven't been hit since 1980, and they make it look easy. But yet, the Central division still remains right on their heels, but is that actually a good thing?

It is now 9 straight wins for the Avalanche after back to back shutouts over the Nashville Predators and Chicago Blackhawks, despite scoring just two goals on a goalie in six periods of play.

The Avalanche are off to a great start to this season with a 3-0-1 record, miles ahead of their 0-4 start from last season.
