In this (in AHP terms) historic podcast, James “Tapeleg” Gralian and Jay talk about the Blues and Oilers series, they revisit the exhaustive list of playoff hockey clichés, and they make absolutely no predictions because everyone knows exactly what we want to see happen in the Stanley Cup Final. Those topics and much more Avs and hockey stuff in episode #139 of The Avs Hockey Podcast. Four wins away, friends!
Darren Helm becomes an Avalanche playoff legend with this series-clinching goal late in game six against the Blues.
Evander Kane’s hit on Nazem Kadri early in game three in the Western Conference Final against Edmonton. Kane was suspended for game four. Kadri was sent back to Denver, had surgery on his right thumb, and has been ruled out indefinitely.
Artturi Lehkonen sends his team to the Stanley Cup Final (for the second straight season) with a series-clinching goal in overtime.
Episode number 139 of course means that there is a T.J. Galiardi mention in the show. No one got hit downstairs more as an Avalanche player. Here’s one of the many examples of this fact.
