Come for your regularly-scheduled podcast, and stay for the glorious debate! Aarif and JJ go head-to-head for an impromptu debate on the Avalanche’s excitement through 11 games of the season. The guys argue if the team has the spark fans have been yearning for and if their play aligns with this season’s expectations. But before that, the guys discuss the postponement of Thursday’s game between the Avs and Minnesota Wild and break down Colorado’s injuries and recent 4-0-1 stretch. Also, major kudos to Sam Girard for the season he’s had. All that and more on this edition of Hockey Mountain High: Your go-to Avalanche Podcast.
