Tyson Barrie’s time with the Colorado Avalanche left a lasting impact on how the team plays from the blue line out. In this episode, Jesse Montano and Meghan Angley remember Tyson Barrie's 14-year NHL career on the heels of his retirement announcement. Starting with the Avalanche’s evolution of offensive defensemen: from John-Michael Liles’ consistent production, to Barrie’s creativity and puck-moving confidence, to the eventual arrival of Cale Makar.

Plus, a look at the Avs projected opening night lineup as we gear up for the 2025-26 season!
