E

The Conference Finals have been exceptional hockey, but how do the Avalanche get back to this point of the playoffs again next season?

Ep 397Tell It Avs It Is - Reaction to Landeskog's Press Conference - S4

E

Gabe Landeskog is not retiring and is still looking to return next season, but there's still very little clarity as to when. So what exactly do MacFarland and the Avalanche do in the meantime with the salary cap space? Additionally, not much clarity on the Nichushkin with situation leaves very few options other than possibly coming back. Is there still a path forward? With still so little cleared up as we head into the offseason, how do they navigate bringing back Jonathan Drouin and making sure they do the best they can to do right by MacKinnon and Makar in their primes?Send questions to the mailbag here: https://forms.gle/7aveTJBXg2RkMkhi8Welcome to The Tell It Avs It Is Podcast, your home for everything Colorado Avalanche on The Hockey Podcast Network!

Ep 396Tell It Avs It Is - So What Now? - S4

E

Let's take a look back at the season that was for the Colorado Avalanche, and all of it's up and down moments as the offseason gets underway. Ultimately the season ends earlier than anybody wanted, but when you look at the season as a whole, how stacked the Stars are, and the overall future of this team, are thing even that bad at all? How did the offseason moves ultimately work out? What about the trade deadline?

Ep 395Tell It Avs It Is - Woe - R2 - G6 - S4

E

The season is over, as the Avalanche lose 2-1 in double overtime to the Stars in Game 6, ending a promising season in disappointment and leaving a lot of questions going into the offseason. Game 6 itself was a solid game that fell apart in overtime despite Georgiev's outstanding performance, but this series was lost long before it got to this point. Disappointment aside, the Avalanche will be back again next year and several years down the line. This one hurts though.Send questions to the mailbag here: https://forms.gle/7aveTJBXg2RkMkhi8Welcome to The Tell It Avs It Is Podcast, your home for everything Colorado Avalanche on The Hockey Podcast Network!

Ep 394Tell It Avs It Is - Still Standing - R2 - G5 - S4

E

The Avalanche are still standing and force a Game 6 in Colorado with a 5-3 win over the Dallas Stars in Game 5, finally having their most complete game of the series with big performances from Cale Makar and Nathan MacKinnon to put some doubt into the Stars. This effort looked largely repeatable and can even be improved upon by cleaning up some big mistakes that ended up in the back of the net. The Avs looked great, but this win is only a third of the way there to completing this comeback, so what needs to happen in Game 6 to force a Game 7 back in Dallas?Send questions to the mailbag here: https://forms.gle/7aveTJBXg2RkMkhi8Welcome to The Tell It Avs It Is Podcast, your home for everything Colorado Avalanche on The Hockey Podcast Network!

Ep 393Tell It Avs It Is - It's Bad, But It's Not Over - R2 - G4 - S4

E

The Avalanche lose Game 4 by a final of 5-1 to the Dallas Stars and are pushed to the brink of elimination going into Game 5. Val Nichushkin was placed into the player assistance program and suspended for six months right before the game, and we wish him nothing but health and peace from what's been a horrible battle. Devon Toews missed the game with an illness at the last moment, leaving the Avs without two important pieces on both sides of the puck. The game itself was awful, flat and lifeless with pure domination from the Stars which now leaves staring down elimination in Game 5. But until you lose four times, a series is not over, and this series is not over.Send questions to the mailbag here: https://forms.gle/7aveTJBXg2RkMkhi8Welcome to The Tell It Avs It Is Podcast, your home for everything Colorado Avalanche on The Hockey Podcast Network!

Ep 392Tell It Avs It Is - Desynchronization - R2 - G3 - S4

E

The Avalanche fall short in Game 3 with a 4-1 loss to the Stars, and fall behind 2-1 in the series. It was a brutally frustrating and boring game to watch, and the stats may tell you the Avs deserved to win this game, but did they really? Lot of sloppy mistakes, missed opportunities, failed scoring chances, and overall out of sync play cost them big, and a really sloppy third period plus a bad powerplay took away any chance of a win. The Stars have the edge in the series now, and the Avalanche are going to have to adjust their game to turn it around and win this series, which they are capable of doing.Send questions to the mailbag here: https://forms.gle/7aveTJBXg2RkMkhi8Welcome to The Tell It Avs It Is Podcast, your home for everything Colorado Avalanche on The Hockey Podcast Network!

Ep 391Tell It Avs It Is - 60 Minutes, Not 20 - R2 - G2 - S4

E

The Avalanche lose Game 2 5-3 to the Dallas Stars, almost pulling off a comeback after being down 4-0 in the third period but falling short due to a bad 40 minutes beforehand. With everything that went against the Avs in this game from the ice, officiating, bad bounces, hot goalie, and bad start, being able to drag this game to an almost comeback is still something to build off of for Game 3. However, there are a LOT of mistakes to clean up to prevent the game from getting out of hand in the first place. Georgiev was not one of the problems, and there needs to be much more help in front of him.

E

The Avalanche are never out of a game, and they did it again to the Dallas Stars in Game 1 of the Second Round, coming back from 3-0 down in the first period for a 4-3 overtime win to take a 1-0 series lead. Miles Wood is the overtime hero on a breakaway like we called all season long, and the Avs best players did what they had to drag them back into the game with huge nights from MacKinnon, Rantanen, and Makar. How does this comeback set the tone for the rest of the series, and what can be improved to build on this series lead?Send questions to the mailbag here: https://forms.gle/7aveTJBXg2RkMkhi8Welcome to The Tell It Avs It Is Podcast, your home for everything Colorado Avalanche on The Hockey Podcast Network!

The Avalanche finally have their second round playoff opponent, and it's none other than the Dallas Stars at last. This matchup has been a long time coming, and it's hard to find a closer series between two teams at the height of their power with so many storylines. With Dallas needing seven games against Vegas, how much impact will the week of rest have the for the Avalanche?

Ep 388Tell It Avs It Is - Gentleman's Sweep - R1 - G5 - S4

E

The Colorado Avalanche are moving on to the Second Round after beating the Winnipeg Jets 6-3 in Game 5, completing the gentleman's sweep in dominant fashion. The Avs are the first team in playoff history to score 5+ goals in a five game series, and they did it to the top defensive team in the NHL and the eventual Vezina winning goalie. 15 different players had a point in this series, Georgiev significantly outduels Hellebuyck to make us look stupid, and your best players were the best when it mattered most. Now, we wait for the Avalanche's second round opponent as the Dallas Stars and Vegas Golden Knights war it out, but in the meantime, let's realize just how special this team is.Send questions to the mailbag here: https://forms.gle/7aveTJBXg2RkMkhi8Welcome to The Tell It Avs It Is Podcast, your home for everything Colorado Avalanche on The Hockey Podcast Network!

The Avalanche are a win away from moving on to the Second Round after an utterly dominant 5-1 win over the Winnipeg Jets in Game 4. Right now, the Avalanche are running the Jets out of this series, dominating them at even strength and on special teams. Cale Makar is doing things that only he can do, Lehkonen and Nichushkin continue their dominance in the playoffs, and Georgiev remains the best story in the league. Meanwhile, the Jets are crumbling. Hellebuyck gets pulled, while the players and coaches go at each other in the media.

The Avalanche completely overwhelm the Jets for five goals in the third period for a 6-2 win in Game 3, and take control with a 2-1 series lead. When the Avalanche get going the Jets just can't do anything to stop them, and Hellebuyck gives up five goals again while Georgiev once again makes the saves he needed to give the Avs a chance.

The Avalanche lose Game 1 to the Winnipeg Jets 7-6 after Alex Georgiev's shockingly awful performance singlehandedly ruins what was actually a solid performance for Colorado in a game where they were the better team. There is no more discussion to be had, it is Justus Annunen's net from now on, Georgiev cannot go back in. The Avalanche did everything they needed to do to win this game and proved that they can beat the Jets, but now it comes down to a response in Game 2 to even up this series before coming home to Colorado.

Where do the Avalanche hold clear advantages over the Jets, and vice versa? Can Nathan MacKinnon be denied, so long as he just gets a little bit of help from the rest of the Avs?

Eight wins in a row for the Avalanche as they embarrass the Columbus Blue Jackets with a 6-1 win.

We exist in a golden era of the Avalanche, and it's very easy to forget that sometimes. With the playoffs around the corner, don't forget to take a moment to appreciate that.

The Avalanche really did it. The Colorado Avalanche have traded Bo Byram to the Buffalo Sabres in exchange for Casey Mittelstadt, at long last solving their need at second line center for the foreseeable future, but at the cost of a beloved player in Byram. But not just that, the Avs set that deal up by acquiring Sean Walker from the Philadelphia Flyers for Ryan Johansen and a 2025 1st Round pick, opening the space to move Byram and freeing up cap space.
