Look Out Below! Avalanche Set to Slide Down Standings
August 22nd, 2014 As far as Cinderella stories go, you couldn't find a better one in the NHL last season than the Colorado Avalanche. The preceding off-season was one of rejuvenation following their disappointing last place finish to the 2012-13 campaign. The franchise was stripped bare to it's foundation and the only figurehead left in the wake of this...
The Next Avalanche: Can Patrick Roy Share Power?
June 3rd, 2013 What does an NHL team do with a lame-duck general manager, a first-time VP of hockey operations, and a Team President who splits his time between hockey and basketball? Throw them in a pot together and add a dose of rookie-coach-from-the-QMJHL, apparently. This odd mix of ingredients makes up the new Colorado Avalanche, a team...
Colorado Avalanche: Judging Greg Sherman's Tenure as GM
April 6th, 2013 The Colorado Avalanche are hurting in a bad way. Such a bad way that some serious changes aught to be considered. I wrote not long ago about the serious possibility of a coaching change happening at the end of the season. With things continuing on a downward spiral, one must consider whether or not there will be more serious changes...
Flame Retardant: You May Be Smarter Than Your Team's GM
March 4th, 2013 On February 28, Calgary Flames' General Manager Jay Feaster made a huge splash in the hockey headlines by signing Colorado Avalanche holdout RFA center Ryan O'Reilly to an offer-sheet, giving the two-way pivot $10 million over two seasons. On the surface, it was a hockey move meant to help Feaster's club, a playoff bubble team at...Getting to Know the 2012-13 Colorado Avalanche
Greetings, Avs fans.

As such, it's my pleasure to introduce myself to you and to begin the...
Decisions Galore For Avalanche Forwards
June 3rd, 2012 With just four forwards (Paul Stastny, Gabriel Landeskog, Milan Hejduk, Chuck Kobasew) under contract for next season, Avalanche GM Greg Sherman will have a busy couple months this offseason. At first glance, it may appear that the Avalanche - the team with the lowest payroll in the National Hockey League - are poised to make a big...Avalanche Deal for McGinn, Prospects; Winnik, Galiardi to San Jose Sharks
The 2012 trade deadline was more a trade dudline (how many times have you heard that one) but the Avalanche managed to be involved in one of the bigger transactions of the day. Colorado shipped forward Daniel Winnik and T.J. Galiardi, along with a 7th round pick in the 2012 draft to San Jose for forward Jamie McGinn, and...Seller Beware: Avalanche Must Be Careful At Deadline
With the NHL trade deadline just two weeks away, it's time for teams to decide whether they will be "buyers" or "sellers" on February 27th. For some teams - Columbus, Carolina, Edmonton - no pending free agent or grizzled veteran is safe. These players could be attractive options for the buyers - think New York, Boston, Detroit,...
Should the Colorado Avalanche Trade Paul Stastny?
December 2nd, 2011 The Avalanche are off to a less than desirable start this season with a record of 11-13-1. You'll see fans point the blame at the coach Joe Sacco often, the general manager Greg Sherman. However the Colorado Avalanche have a synergy of problems happening and some of the blame has to be attributed to some of the players just not playing...
