Avalanche Goaltending

The NHL loves a spectacle, and the Stadium Series game at Falcon Stadium in Colorado Springs, Colorado was certainly that. Unfortunately, the game featured a major injury to one of the team's starting goaltenders. Also, two Pacific Division goalies had major shutouts on Saturday. Grubauer Injured Outdoors The Colorado Avalanche and Los Angeles Kings have been awaiting Saturday's Stadium Series game all season. They debuted new threads months ago, and have spent several days in Colorado Springs at the Air Force Academy soaking in the festivities. The goalies even got new buckets for the occasion. Playing at night with temperatures below zero, the two teams struggled for traction in the unfamiliar environs. Philipp Grubauer got the start for the Avalanche, facing off against Jonathan Quick of the Kings.

Avalanche Goaltending

The Colorado Avalanche and Los Angeles Kings will be heading outdoors this evening, taking part in the National Hockey League’s Stadium Series. Falcon Stadium and the United States Air Force are hosting the two teams and the unique setting will include a runway and an F-16 fighter plane on the field. Renowned airbrush artist David Gunnarsson has been very busy of late as both starting goaltenders had him design special masks to go along with their Stadium Series uniforms. He certainly did not disappoint with his beautiful creations. Grubauer’s Mask is a Work of Art Gunnarsson created the “Yeti Maverick Showdown” mask for Avalanche netminder Philipp Grubauer. The left side of the mask has been turned into a fighter plane in an obvious tribute to the Air Force. The wonderful 3-D art shows a yeti monster flying his aircraft at top speed through the Rocky Mountains. You can see a small German flag on his pilot’s helmet, paying homage to Grubauer’s homeland....

Los Angeles Kings

If you haven’t been following the Colorado Avalanche, you may have missed hearing about the upcoming outdoor game. But it’s happening. Saturday, Feb. 15, the Avalanche will be hosting the Kings of Los Angeles in an NHL Stadium Series game at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Despite the lack of wide-ranging attention, a lot of effort has been poured into preparing for the event. Questionable Jerseys The game itself hasn’t garnered much notice but the jerseys generated plenty of attention, not all of it positive. The Avalanche will be sporting a fairly simple jersey. It’s bright blue on the top, burgundy on the bottom, and sports a big white ‘A’ on the front. The ‘A’ contains a couple of smaller white triangles to honor the unique architecture of the academy’s chapel and the mountains. According to the NHL, the colors are intended to reflect Colorado’s blue skies, red rocks, and snow-covered...
