The Avalanche took us on a wild roller coaster this week. Steph, earl, and Vlad are here to break it down. Also, the myriad of injuries to Jonathan Bernier, who has the toughest schedule left in the western wild card race, and the Avalanche debut of hero and savior Mark Alt!

Steph, earl, Jackie, and the Voice of Vlad hope that you enjoyed this week of Avalanche hockey as much as they did. Also, MacWinning the Hart, some Avalanche players are back from the dead, and earl is being stalked by an ominous flock of crows!

Steph is joined by earl and Jackie to try to figure out what happened that the Avalanche lost 3 straight in overtime in a total of 2 minutes, scored 3 goals in a total of 4 minutes, and had a backup goalie for a total of 46 minutes. Plus, we look to the playoff picture, who the Avs could use help from, and which games remaining need the ol' big red circle!

Steph, earl, and Jackie meet up after the Avs' heartbreaking loss to Nashville to remind us the team won 7 of 8 points this week, check out Nathan MacKinnon for the Hart, and prepare themselves for the playoff race the Avalanche have thrust themselves into!

Steph is joined by earl, Jackie, Rudo, and the Voice of Vlad to break down the few things that did happen on this year's trade deadline! Also, fun with pronunciation guides, we've had enough excuses, and earl has a bold strategy for acquiring hats.

Steph, earl, and Jackie sit down after the Avs fall to Connor McDavid and try to figure out what happens next, with Lindholm and Johnson and Bernier joining everyone else in the hospital. Also, MacKinnon is back!, chaos as the development plan, and we wonder how the power play has gotten this rank!

Steph, earl, Jackie, and AceODale marvel at the Avalanche's best goal scoring threat: Gabriel Bourque?!? Also, whose crease is it anyway, Steph vs. Steph's Voice, everyone has Thoughts on a random Patrick Roy mention, and earl has some Thoughts on interior decor!

Steph, earl, and Jackie get together after a work day to figure out how the Avalanche will get by without Nathan MacKinnon. Plus, Mikko Rantanen is questionable, and what the heck happened to Mark Barberio?

Steph, earl, and Jackie hold a brief wake for The Streak and think about how the team can prepare for the returns of Andrighetto, Barrie, and Varlamov. Plus, making the all star game relevant again, and a dive into the mittenstringer muck!

The Avalanche have won a lot of games in a row. Steph is joined by earl, Jackie, and Vlad to work out what that means, what to do when Barrie and Andrighetto return, and look longwise at the evolution of the 17-18 Avalanche.
