The long break begins. The Avs close out the unofficial first half of the NHL season with a great five-game road trip in which they attained eight out of ten points, and no regulation losses.

We begin the episode with some general analysis of the standings in the Western Conference, and some other general thoughts around the league.

We then recap the 6-3 win over the Red Wings, and go in-depth with some overall thoughts of the play of some Avs, as of late, influenced by play in the most recent games.

The NHL Allstar Game and events are this weekend. Have a great time watching the spectacle, and cheer on Nathan MacKinnon as he represents Colorado.
