If you follow our Twitter page, then you know we have been counting down the 12 weeks Colorado Avalanche captain Gabriel Landeskog has been out, looking forward to his return likely in January.

We saw the beginning stages of that return yesterday as Landeskog put on skates and.... glided around the ice. Though he likely will be out the month of December, it is at least nice to see the Captain back out on the ice.

Speaking of December, the Avalanche play a lot in the final month of 2022. But the good part is they play more at home than away. We take a look at the schedule.

File this one away and never mention it again.

The Colorado Avalanche couldn't do anything right in Tuesday's matchup against the Winnipeg Jets, while the opposite was true for the Jets. Winnipeg did what not many teams have done to the Avs this year. Punish them for all the injured players the Avs have on the sidelines.

Sure, the Avs had 40 shots on goal, but next to none were high-danger shots that challenged Jets goalie Connor Hellebuyck. And the Avalanche power play, #1 in the league, struggled to get anything on net.

It was a challenge and one we thought would have happened weeks ago when Avs players started dropping like flies. Despite those injuries, the Avalanche have been playing well, but against Winnipeg, it caught up with them.

The Colorado Avalanche made a couple moves Monday. One signing veteran, and preseason PTO player Alex Galchenyuk for the remainder of the season. The other was calling up prospect Jean-Luc Foudy for his first action with the club.

The Avalanche continue to be decimated by injuries, but it is also giving them an opportunity to see what their up-and-coming prospects can do, and now it's Foudy's turn.

The Avs likely would have offered Alex Galchenyuk a contract had he not gotten injured in the preseason. Coach Jared Bednar stated then that he liked what Galchenyuk offered the team, so it's no surprise they brought him back and signed him with all the injuries the Avs are suffering.

Can either or both of them make an impact tonight against a very tough Winnipeg team? This should be fun to watch!

We said at the beginning of last week that it was going to be a busy 7 days for the Colorado Avalanche. Four games, three of which were two against division rivals had the Avs in a position to put some distance between them and the teams below them as well as close the gap between them and the Dallas Stars. For the most part, they did just that.

A loss to the Vancouver Canucks is not what you want to see, but two wins against division leading Dallas does make you feel good. Especially behind the fact that the Avs continue to play with a decimated roster, but are getting the most out of what they are putting out on the ice.

And Alexandar Georgiev is a top goalie in the league. It's time everyone else recognizes that.

Another year, another NHL season for the Colorado Avalanche already filled with injuries. Once again, the Avalanche are holding their own and near the top of the division standings despite these injuries.

However, once again it seems like head coach Jared Bednar is getting shown little love by the hockey media for the job he is doing navigating these injuries and making his team relevant. Will this ever end?

We also look at a fun article in The Athletic that takes user suggestions for rule changes in the NHL. Some make a whole lot of sense, some don't, and some are flat our hilarious and should be implemented immediately.

All that plus looking at tonight's game against the Vancouver Canucks!

Add "fewest games for a defenseman to get 200 points" to Cale Makar's list of accomplishments in his early career. Makar reached the milestone in his 195th game on a power play slapshot against the Dallas Stars Monday night and the Avs needed the shootout to get the extra point against the division leaders.

It was a playoff atmosphere in Dallas in a game that had it all. Good offensive opportunities, fantastic goaltending, and a fight between Josh Manson and Jamie Benn that ended with Benn flat on his back after a knuckle sandwich to the face.

These two teams will do it again at the end of the week, but for the Avs, it ended their 3-game road trip with all 6 points going the way of the Avs.

The Colorado Avalanche played two games since our last recording. One against the Carolina Hurricanes (which Chris was in attendance for) and the other against the Washington Capitals.

In Carolina, the Avalanche couldn't get anything going against the Hurricanes but somehow, someway pulled out a victory in OT, 3-2.

In Washington, the Avalanche played their most complete game of the season, which also happened to be their first shutout of the season, in defeating the Capitals 4-0.

We look at both games and discuss how this is similar to last year's Avs team who just found ways to win.

Plus, the Avalanche play four games this week, two against the division leading Dallas Stars. How this week of games is a very important week for the Avs.

Also, we discuss if Nathan MacKinnon should keep taking face-offs. Because...he hasn't been very good at them.

Like Vincent Gambini in My Cousin Vinny, you win some you lose some. For the Colorado Avalanche, last night was the latter.

The Avs threw 47 shots at St. Louis Blues goalie Jordan Binnington but could only find the back of the net twice, while St. Louis had two "excuse me" goals, then another by Jordan Kyrou to leave Denver with a much needed win for the Blues.

Colorado found themselves with the very rare 6-on-3 power play at the end of the game, but overpassing and missed chances prevented the game from going into extra minutes.

It's a frustrating loss, no doubt. But while the Avs missed a chance to put more distance between them and St. Louis there is still a decent amount of good to be found in the loss.

The Colorado Avalanche made a couple roster moves in terms of their injured players and their salary cap. Placing Gabriel Landeskog and Darren Helm on LTIR does free up space for now with their salary cap, and if the Avs wanted to go out and bring in a player or two they could.

But the Avs will have to be creative if they want to go that route with Gabe and Helm's caps numbers waiting there once they are able to return. It will be interesting to watch over the next couple of days or weeks.

Even with all the injuries the Avs have been suffering, they went out and beat a very good Carolina Hurricanes team last weekend 4-1, with great performances from their top guys like Mikko Rantanen, Cale Makar and Nathan MacKinnon.

Can the Avs continue the good play tonight against a struggling St. Louis team?

The Colorado Avalanche paid tribute to long time commentator, Peter McNab Thursday night in an emotional pre-game ceremony. Ball Arena filled with applause instead of silence for all he has meant to the Avalanche franchise.

The Avs decided not to fill his role, at least for this game, and announcer Mark Mosher pulled double duty in calling the action for the first time without his trusty sidekick.

On the ice, the Avalanche looked great despite missing several key players whole bringing up some fresh faces from the Colorado Eagles team. In the end, it was a 5-3 win for the good guys.
