A lot has been talked about involving the Nashville Predators goalie situation with Juuse Saros out for at least the first two games. Game 1 did not go well and ended with with starter David RIttich getting pulled after allowing five goals. Backup rookie Connor Ingram entered and did enough to warrant a start in Game 2. Even though we are an Avalanche podcast, what that young goalie did was nothing short of miraculous. The Avs had possession for what seemed like the entire game and even threw 51 shoots on goal. The very first shot by Nathan MacKinnon found the back of the net but the Avs couldn't find a second goal until Cale Makar ended the game in OT. There were spectacular performances all around.

The Stanley Cup Playoffs are finally here, and the Avalanche made a statement in Game 1 against Nashville with an absolutely dominant 7-2 to take a 1-0 series lead, and showed that they are in a whole other league from the Predators. Playoff mode Nathan MacKinnon was activated with two goals and three points, and Cale Makar made the whole Nashville roster look silly. After such a beatdown, can the Predators do anything to counter this unstoppable force of Colorado? Can we expect more of the same in Game 2?

The Colorado Avalanche have been waiting for this moment since last year's playoff exit. It may only be one game, but getting off to a fast start was exactly what the Avalanched wanted and it is exactly what they got. Just a couple minutes into the game Nathan MacKinnon found his first of two goals, then 22 seconds later Devon Toews found the net and the Avs were off to the races. We had discussed on yesterday's episode who would be the odd men out now that most of the Avalanche roster was healthy. We had an idea Logon O'Connor might be one of those guys, we did not expect Alex Newhook to be the other one. Coach Jared Bednar seemed to favor experience with players like Darren Helm and Andrew Cogliano for Game 1, and his instinct paid off. Chris and Kyle also discuss who should play goal for Game 2 as well as get to their first sound check of the postseason. Tune in and subscribe!

Episode 56 for Sergei Zubov! We start this edition of the pod looking back at Wednesday and the 9-3 beat down the Colorado Avalanche handed the LA Kings. Nathan MacKinnon factored on five goals and Cale Makar had 1-3—4 to eclipse the 80-point mark as the Avs (53-14-6, 112 points) established a franchise record for most wins in a season, besting their previous high of 52 from 2000-01 and 2013-14.The New York Rangers (10:45) also took care of business Wednesday with a win over Philadelphia.

The Colorado Avalanche had three days off. The Los Angeles Kings were coming off a game the night before. All of it showed. The Avalanche looked like a well rested, ready to roll team while the Kings looked tired and slow. In the end the Avalanche found the net nine times including a hat trick from superstar Nathan MacKinnon. Cale Makar added four points of his own and Nicholas Aube-Kubel and Valeri Nichushkin each had two goals as the Avalanche took control early. But there was even more excitement off the ice as well. Joe Sakic had to part with a couple highly touted prospects at the trade deadline. He is already making the moves to fill those spots and he brought in a big one by signing University of Minnesota forward, and captain Ben Meyers. Word is just about every team in the league was in on Meyers including his hometown Minnesota Wild. In the end, he picked the Avalanche. Joe Sakic did it again. No time for the Avalanche to enjoy this too much as they turn right around and play the New Jersey Devils Thursday night, and we all know how the last game against them went. Tune in and subscribe!

This was a slaughter from start to finish, and the Avs push their winning streak to seven wins in a row against teams desperate for points, while they play for nothing.

The Colorado Avalanche had an eventful weekend in securing four more points to add to their season total and they did it in dramatic fashion. Friday the Avalanche faced off against division rival Winnipeg and seemingly had the game in hand with a 4-2 lead in the 3rd. But a terrible Mikko Rantanen penalty late in the 3rd after the Jets cut the lead down to one, helps Winnipeg secure the game tying goal to send it into overtime. But that is where Cale Makar goes to work, as he send home to game winning goal while the Avs were on an OT power play. The very next day the Avalanche traveled to Edmonton to take on the Oilers. In a very different style of game, that saw a much more defensive match up, the Avs needed to find a way to tie it late in the 3rd down 1-0. That's exactly what Nathan MacKinnon did with a few minutes to go in regulation. The game went to OT where an incredible Avs penalty kill shut down the Oilers, and it took Darcy Kuemper, playing the best game of his season, to shut down all three Oilers attempts to take the 2nd game of the trip to Canada.
