Podcast appearances and mentions of Nathan MacKinnon

Has Nazem Kadri been playing out of his mind lately? Yes. Has he been the one to step up in the absence of Nathan MacKinnon? No question. But this early season explosion does not warrant Joe Sakic to throw a blank check at Naz and jump the gun on a knee jerk reaction to sign the forward now, and not wait for his contract to expire at the end of the season. I explain why. I also took some listener questions which include the Avalanche history if a new team moves to Quebec. Potential trade targets for the Avs, and will Sid the Kid be one of them?

The Colorado Avalanche beat up on the Vancouver Canucks last week, 7-1. You didn't think that was going to happen again did you? The Avalanche got an opponent that played a much better game, but it still was not enough to overcome the Avs offensive weapons, and in the end the Avalanche went on to a 4-2 lead and their third win in a row. Nazem Kadri continued his fantastic start to the season, and at a time when they need him the most with Nathan MacKinnon out, as well as J. T. Compher for the next few weeks. Up next, the Avs gravel to Seattle for the first time ever to take on Philipp Grubauer and the Seattle Kraken. Tune in and enjoy! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

People on the West Coast are coming to terms with the discovery of human remains deep in the Pike River Mine, almost eleven years after the deadly explosion. Tomorrow's the anniversary of the deadly explosion in which 29 miners lost their lives. Many of their families have been campaigning for the last decade to see justice done. Samantha Gee and Nathan Mackinnon spent the day on the West Coast.  

The Avalanche are back in the win column, and emphatically so with a 7-1 win over the Canucks and a 6-2 win over the Sharks. Everybody stepped up with Nathan MacKinnon out of the lineup, but even still, the injuries continue to add up as Bowen Byram and JT Compher go down in back to back games. Who was the most impressive over these two games, and will this play continue on Wendesday against Vancouver? Also, it's time to put some respect on Sam Girard's name, and take his name out of trade rumors.

This was a topic we discussed over a year ago BUT with Von Miller traded in the last month, Nolan Arenado traded in the last year...the only two players left are Nikola Jokic and Nathan MacKinnon. Is the easy answer Jokic? Or is there anything MacKinnon could do to take over? Allie Monroy is joined by Ryan Koengisberg, AJ Haefele and Harrison Wind to discuss their takes, what the face of Denver should do and more on THE Denver Sports Podcast.

In the 2nd hour, the fellas discuss who should be calling offensive plays for the Broncos Sunday? Adrian Dater joined the show to break down the Avs' big win last night without Nathan MacKinnon. Adrian gave an update on Bowen Byrum. In the water cooler, all of the Denver teams won their games this week without their star players. Our 9News Broncos Insider Mike Klis joined the show to give an update on the Broncos situation with the virus. Are the Broncos going to add an emergency quarterback?  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Pete and Rob are joined by Michael Leboff (@TheBigLeebowski) from The Action Network to discuss the biggest betting storylines around the NHL at the one-month mark of the season. The guys discuss the Oilers' chances of winning the Stanley Cup, debate the three California teams' playoff chances and discuss other surprises like the Red Wings and Blue Jackets plus some longshot award candidates from those teams, including John Gibson, Brent Burns, Troy Terry, Jeff Blashill, Brad Larsen, Cole Sillinger, Jonathan Dahlen and more. The crew also does a Stanley Cup futures update on the Golden Knights after the Jack Eichel trade and how their long-term upside compares to the Avalanche after Nathan MacKinnon's injury. Other topics include Igor Shesterkin and Ilya Sorokin's case for the Vezina and Hart trophies, whether to sell high on Burns in fantasy, the surprising value of Shayne Gostisbehere for the Coyotes and how Alex Ovechkin is playing like an MVP candidate once again.

This team is undoubtedly cursed, as now Nathan MacKinnon goes to injured reserve for the next three weeks. What happens now for the Avalanche as they'll now have to be without their star for the rest of the month? Will Alex Newhook be able to fill some of that void after his call up? Also, how close were the Avalanche to trading for Jack Eichel, and how close was Sam Girard to being in the deal?

AJ, Rudo, and Jesse discuss what the Avs have to do with Mackinnon out. The fellas are hopeful everything will be okay, but there is still a worry. They go through which lines should be out there and where will the production come from.

In a matter of one hour, we went from the excitement of potentially having a full roster of Avs for the first time all year against Vancouver on Thursday, to all of that being in jeopardy with a possible Nathan MacKinnon injury. Because....Avalanche hockey. Unrelated to the MacKinnon news, Sampo Ranta was sent down to the Colorado Eagles as Alex Newhook was called up. Ranta didn't do anything bad in the first 10 games of the season, but it didn't do anything eye popping either, hence the move to Newhook who has been eating the AHL alive. Let's hope that carries over for him in this go-round with the Avs. And then there was the weird news involving Val Nichushkin and a blood test from 2013 that could come back to haunt him in terms of his Olympic availability.

The Avs have returned Alex Newhook to the NHL but with Nathan MacKinnon questionable with an LBI and a weak portion of the schedule coming up, the next 10 games could be crucial for the Avalanche.

AJ, Rudo, Jesse, and Blais go through the brutal loss against the Columbus Blue Jackets. Nathan MacKinnon seems to be completely out of it. The Avs need to get back on track if they want to fulfill expectations of being Stanley Cup Champions.

What's the first thing you think of when I say Colorado Avalanche? Joe Sakic? Patrick Roy? Maybe current players like Nathan MacKinnon? It won't be long before we start saying 'injuries'. The injury bug strikes again and this time is has sent Avs star Cale Makar to the IR (that all rhymed). But it isn't all hopeless for the Avs. They have played well over the past few games and they have done so with the players taking the ice Wednesday against Columbus. Finally, it seems like Devon Toews and his wife won the Halloween party the Avalanche threw. What they wore and why have we not seen images of it?? Subscribe and enjoy!

The Avalanche bounced back in a big way with two wins over their division rivals to get to .500 on the season. Aarif and JJ start the show with a recap of Saturday's victory over Minnesota and who stuck out on the ice. They specifically touch on big performances from Nathan MacKinnon, Gabriel Landeskog, Erik Johnson and Darcy Kuemper. They also discuss the dirty hit on Bowen Byram before breaking down the previous game against the St. Louis Blues and all the happenings around Nazem Kadri, Justin Faulk and Jordan Binnington. All that and more on this edition of Hockey Mountain High: Your go-to Avalanche Podcast.Produced by Patrick Stedman.Follow the guys on Twitter @JJoftheyear and @runwriteAarif

The Avs slow start has been less than ideal. The most surprising part is the lack of impact from the Avs two best players, Cale Makar and Nathan MacKinnon. The Avalanche need them to lead the way badly. Rudo and AJ Haefele come to you LIVE to break down everything you need to know in the world of the Colorado Avalanche! 

Get the worst game of the season out of the way early. Let's hope that's what the Colorado Avalanche did Wednesday night with their first road game of the year against the Washington Capitals. Nothing went right for the Avs. The defense was full of holes, the forwards looks stiff and in the end the Avs gave up 6 goals when it could have been much worse. Yes, it is still early in the season, but to play the way the Avs did should not happen with the talent on this team. Especially with Nathan MacKinnon making his season debut.

Star center Nathan MacKinnon finally escaped COVID protocol and made his season debut but it was about as forgettable a game as he's ever had. Aarif and JJ review the Avalanche's 6-3 loss in Washington and MacKinnon's poor performance. The guys also break down the team's efforts through three games and if it's too early to panic. The show ends with a conversation about Jack Eichel and the report from Sportsnet that Joe Sakic inquired about the Buffalo forward.

Reports came out late Monday night that Nathan MacKinnon provided a negative COVID test and was therefore en route to Washington to be with the Avalanche. Another negative test Tuesday morning would clear him and allow him to potentially play against the Capitals. Stay tuned to that news as it was surprisingly NOT making the rounds you would expect news like that to be. We do know that Mikael Maltsev and Martin Kaut were called up to the Avs. It remains to be seen if they will actually take the ice, but for someone like Kaut, this is another opportunity to show his ability at the next level. Someone not called up? Alex Newhook. Are we getting to the point with Newhook that Coach Bednar was at with Nikita Zadorov in that he knew the ability he had, he just wasn't utilizing it well enough? Or is this just a young prospect who still needs time to mature? Hit that subscribe button and enjoy! BetOnline AG There is only 1 place that has you covered and 1 place we trust. Betonline.ag!

We knew the Dept of Player Safety would come calling after Gabriel Landeskog's hit on Kirby Dach, but the lurking question was if a suspension was coming. It did. Landeskog will miss the next two games for the hit and with the status of Nathan MacKinnon for Saturday's game still unknown, this could be a tougher task than usual for the Avs against the Blues.

NHL – National Hockey League – Season Opener Last Night Colorado Avalanche 4, Chicago Blackhawks 2 Avalanche 4, Blackhawks 2 – Byram gets first NHL goal, Avalanche beat Blackhawks 4-2 Bowen Byram scored his first NHL goal and added an assist to lead the short-handed Colorado Avalanche to a 4-2 win over the Chicago Blackhawks. Nazem Kadri and Gabriel Landeskog each had a goal and an assist for Colorado, which played without star center Nathan MacKinnon and head coach Jared Bednar. Both are in the COVID-19 protocol and away from the team. Assistant coaches Ray Bennett and Nolan Pratt led the team. Darcy Kuemper stopped 32 shots in his Avalanche debut and Jack Johnson added a goal. Kuemper, acquired from Arizona in the offseason, wasn't tested early but made two big saves on Kirby Dach in the second period. Dach had a breakaway at 12:02, but Kuemper closed the pads on his shot. Minutes later, he had another wide-open chance from the left circle that Kuemper stopped. Tonight Tampa Bay Lightning at Detroit Red Wings, 7:30 p.m. NFL – National Football League – Week 6 Tonight Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Philadelphia Eagles, 8:20 p.m. NFL – Lions coach Campbell says Ragnow feels guilty about surgery Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell says center Frank Ragnow feels guilty about having season-ending toe surgery. Campbell says Wednesday that the surgery went well, adding Ragnow does not need to feel bad about doing the right thing for his long-term future. Ragnow was hurt earlier this month at Chicago and went on injured reserve last week. Center Evan Brown made his first career start in Sunday's loss at Minnesota. The Lions signed Ragnow to a $54 million, four-year extension in May that keeps him under contract through the 2026 season. The Lions host the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. NFL – Fields understands rivalries going into game against Packers Chicago Bears rookie quarterback Justin Fields is getting his first taste of the rivalry against the Green Bay Packers, a lopsided one since Aaron Rodgers became a starter, and it's not a new situation for him considering Fields played in the Michigan-Ohio State rivalry. Fields' passing numbers haven't been up to the kind his counterpart has put up, but he said he's more interested in getting the win than statistics as the Bears try to end a four-game Green Bay winning streak in the series. MLB – Major League Baseball – Division Series – (Best of 5) Tonight Los Angeles Dodgers at San Francisco Giants, 9:07 p.m.             (Series tied 2-2) MLB – After another early exit, White Sox shift focus to future The Chicago White Sox are shifting focus toward next season after they were eliminated in convincing fashion by Houston in an AL Division Series. Another early exit wasn't what they envisioned. The White Sox thought they were in position to make a run in October with stars like José Abreu and Tim Anderson and Hall of Fame manager Tony La Russa back for a second stint. Chicago ran away with the AL Central, only to get pushed around by the Astros. Abreu says the White Sox “did our best" and Houston was “better.” MLB – Playoff series for the ages as Dodgers, Giants go to Game 5 Everybody expected a playoff series for the ages between the century-old rival Dodgers and Giants, and now they've got it. Anything less than a winner-take-all Game 5 would have been a baseball travesty, leaving the sport short-changed on the October stage. It's the 107-win, NL West champion Giants vs. the defending World Series champ Los Angeles Dodgers for a place in the NL Championship Series against Atlanta starting Saturday night. It all comes down to Game 5 on Thursday night, back at the San Francisco's Oracle Park after the Dodgers staved off elimination with a 7-2 victory at home Tuesday night.

The Colorado Avalanche set the tone early with three goals in less than 10 minutes, then went on to a 4-2 win in the season opener against the Chicago Blackhawks. Jack Johnson (you read that right) got the scoring going to Colorado, who made life difficult for new Blackhawks goalie Marc-Andre Fleury. On the other end, new Avalanche goalie Darcy Keumper is making Avalanche fans have Grubauer amnesia pretty quick. He was great when he needed to be as Chicago was forcing the issue in an attempt to get back in the game. It was all rainbows for the Avalanche. The power play was clearly missing Nathan MacKinnon, and Gabriel Landeskog delivered a dangerous hit late in the game to Kirby Dach that should have him hearing from Dept. of Player Safety. In the end, it's just how the Avs wanted to start the year. With a win. Now they turn their attention to Saturday to face another divisional rival in the St. Louis Blues Subscribe and Enjoy!

The Avs come out firing on opening night defeating the Chicago Blackhawks 4 - 2, often looking dominant in a game without Nathan MacKinnon. The Avs were led by the rookie Bowen Byram and received contributions from the entire lineup. Blais, Evan, and Rudo break it all down.

The Wednesday Athletic Hockey Show debuts with Rob Pizzo from CBC Sports and Sara Civian and Jesse Granger from the Athletic. Pizzo, Civy and Jesse look back on the debut game between the Seattle Kraken and Vegas Golden Knights in a playoff like atmosphere in Vegas, a questionable winning goal from Chandler Stephenson and a controversial goal celebration from Morgan Geekie. They discuss Nick Suzuki's contract extension with Montreal, Nathan MacKinnon missing the Avalanche season opener due to Covid-19 and how much Sara and Jesse are looking forward to interviewing players in person, after a year of connecting with players on zoom. Tarik El Bashir, the Capitals writer for the Athletic stops by to preview the grudge match between Washington and the New York Rangers with Ryan Reaves looking to settle the score yet again vs Tom Wilson. We also discuss the injury to Nik Backstrom, the acting chops of Alex Ovechkin, and his wife Nastya and Tarik gives us a sneak peak into what TNT is going to deliver during it's first night of covering hockey for the NHL.

Jeff and Producer Matt look at some over/unders for Connor McDavid, Nathan MacKinnon and Taylor Hall (7:22).

Carlos Correa and Alex Bregman each hit a two-run double as the Astros advanced to the AL Championship Series for the fifth straight year, bouncing back from Sunday night's 12-6 loss with their usual relentless brand of baseball. Michael Brantley had three hits and two RBIs. Braves 5, Brewers 4 – Bats finally wake up but Hader falters, Brewers eliminated The Atlanta Braves won their NL Division Series by beating Milwaukee, 5-4 on Freddie Freeman's solo homer with two out in the eighth.

Today No games today MLB – La Russa-led White Sox make another early October exit Hall of Fame manager Tony La Russa and the Chicago White Sox had their sights set on advancing in the playoffs after running away with the AL Central. Their season came to an emphatic end with a 10-1 loss to AL West champion Houston in Game 4 of a Division Series that wasn't close. They never got the pitching and only occasionally got the hitting that carried them to their first division championship in 13 years and gave them back-to-back playoff appearances for the first time. And after getting knocked out by Oakland in the wild-card round last year, they bowed out in humbling fashion against the Astros.

As if the Avalanche needed more to deal with heading into the regular season, their superstar forward Nathan MacKinnon will miss game one against Chicago after contracting COVID. MacKinnon is vaccinated and is asymptomatic so there is a chance he will be ready to go for game two on Saturday against St. Louis. Cale Makar spoke with the media and he is ready for action.
