Avalanche Alley

We break down Game 5, discuss the Manson butt end and goalie controversy in Denver!

Time to review Games 1 and 2 against the Minnesota Wild. Our power play has come alive, and we also discuss whether targeting Hughes is smart and much more.

The Colorado Avalanche are moving on — and they made it look convincing.

In this episode of Eyes On Avs, we break down Colorado’s first-round sweep of the Los Angeles Kings, what stood out most, and why this team looks more complete than ever. From Scott Wedgewood’s standout performance in net to the Avs’ defensive structure and depth across all four lines, there’s a lot to like coming out of Round 1.

We also dive into key takeaways from the series, including the power play finally showing signs of life, the impact of players like Logan O’Connor and Parker Kelly, and how Colorado handled business without overextending early. Plus, we discuss the only real concern coming out of the sweep — Josh Manson’s injury — and what it could mean moving forward.

Looking ahead, it’s all about Round 2. Minnesota or Dallas — who’s the better matchup? We break down both scenarios, including the physicality of Dallas, the structure of Minnesota, and the ongoing debate of rust vs rest with the Avs having extended time off.

If this team flips the switch the way we saw in Game 4, the rest of the league should be on notice.

We breakdown the first two games of the series and preview Game 3. Plus we come up with some powerplay solutions.

Welcome to our first Eyes On Avs show with Cam, Dave, and Eric! Trivia talk and Wedgewood for Vezina with some game breakdown before the NHL playoffs start later on this week!
