Colorado Avalanche Predicting the 2013 Depth Chart

The Colorado Avalanche have an exciting young roster ready to make an impact in the NHL. The roster looks very similar to the one that took the ice in Denver last season, but the Avalanche have made a couple of signings to fill a couple of needs. Greg Zanon and John Mitchell help the Avalanche ...

How The Colorado Avalanche Will Make The Playoffs Next Season

In the 2011-12 season the Colorado Avalanche won more regular season games than the Stanley Cup winning Los Angeles Kings.  In the end, they were separated by seven points.  Their respective seasons could not have been more opposite.  Whilst the Kings swept all before them, the Avalanche were confined to another season without playoff hockey.  ...

NHL Captains: Leadership Isn’t Defined By Age

The highest honor a current NHL player can have is to wear the “C” on the front of his jersey. The role of an NHL captain entails being a leader, which is usually reserved for players with years of experience. However, many teams have captains who aren’t wily veterans. When the Colorado Avalanche selected sophomore Gabriel Landeskog ...

Gabriel Landeskog Named Captain of the Colorado Avalanche

Yesterday, the Colorado Avalanche sent out a release stating that Milan Hejduk had relinquished his captaincy and Gabriel Landeskog would be taking over the role. With the news, not only does Landeskog become the 4th captain in the history of the Avalanche (following Joe Sakic, Adam Foote & Hejduk), but he also now becomes the ...

Gabriel Landeskog Poised For Progress In Year Two

One of the big questions facing the Colorado Avalanche as a new season approaches (hopefully) is how Gabriel Landeskog will follow up his Calder-winning rookie season. While his NHL debut demonstrated that he is indeed a force to be reckoned with from both an offensive & physical point of view, there’s always the danger that the dreaded ‘sophomore slump’ ...

Getting to Know the 2012-13 Colorado Avalanche

Greetings, Avs fans. My name is Ian, and I write to you from Guelph, ON (just down the road from Jamie McGinn’s hometown of Fergus); I have a huge passion for the game of hockey and for writing, and have been working towards combining the two for a few years now. As such, it’s my ...

Presenting the 2012 THW Year-End Awards

Every year, the National Hockey League’s awards are voted upon by the league’s general managers or the Professional Hockey Writers Association. The idea is to get a balanced cross-section of opinions and, hopefully, cancelling out any specific homerish voting patterns. With writers in all 30 NHL cities, some with multiple writers, and several at-large subject ...

Nugent-Hopkins nominated for the Calder Trophy

The NHL has begun to release their nominees for the annual individual awards, starting with the Calder trophy today. The award is handed out to the league’s best first year player, and Edmonton Oilers rookie Ryan Nugent-Hopkins is among the three candidates. Nugent-Hopkins finished the season tied for the rookie lead in points with 52, despite playing ...
