Colorado Avalanche dominate at 5v5 but can't solve overtime. Are five OT losses a real concern or just noise before the playoffs?

On today's episode we break down the Avalanche's back-to-back weekend against the Vegas Golden Knights and San Jose Sharks, celebrating Marty Necas's scorching start after his contract extension while analyzing the team's troubling overtime record.  

We examine why Colorado leads the NHL in five-on-five performance yet struggles in three-on-three situations, debate goaltending decisions between Scott Wedgwood and Mackenzie Blackwood, and discuss whether Nathan MacKinnon and Necas should stay together in OT.  

We also expose the Fanatics disaster surrounding highly anticipated Nordiques throwback jerseys, where countless fan orders were mysteriously canceled and won't be restocked until early 2026.

Discover why the Avalanche's statistical dominance suggests playoff success despite regular season overtime frustrations.

Colorado Avalanche lock up Martin Nečas with an 8-year, $11.5 million AAV extension. Is this the contract that solidifies their championship window?

On today's episode we break down the Nečas signing, analyzing whether the Colorado Avalanche overpaid or secured a bargain as the salary cap rises. The discussion covers Nečas's chemistry with Nathan MacKinnon, playoff performance concerns, and how this deal positions the team for Cale Makar's upcoming extension on July 1st of next year.

We debate the complex three-team trade involving Mikko Rantanen and the Dallas Stars, examining who ultimately won the deal and if that can even be answered right now.  

Community reactions reveal overwhelming relief among Avalanche fans, while we call out media narratives that predicted Nečas's unhappiness in Colorado. Key comparisons to contracts for Connor McDavid, Kirill Kaprizov, and other star players provide context for the market value.

Discover why this signing could define the Avalanche's path to another Stanley Cup and what it means for their roster construction moving forward.
