The Avs Hockey Podcast

Hey everyone...just wanted to keep in touch with you regarding the show. I know it has been a while. My wife and I had our first baby in late March and I've been focusing on being a Dad for a while now. Based on the end of the season it was easy to step away from the show for a bit to focus on what really matters.

I am still planning on posting a season ending show sometime after the June draft so please hang in there. I definitely appreciate your patience while I get used to the new addition to our family. I am also currently planning on continuing the show through next season, so if you like what you've heard the past few seasons, I will definitely be back to help you stay up to date.

Until I post my next show, please don't forget to join me on Facebook. Just become a fan on "The Avs Hockey Podcast" fan page to get all the latest from the Avs' official site and my favorite Avs blogs from around the web. Let me hunt the stories down for you, all you'll need to do is join me there. I'm doing my best to make it your one stop shop on Facebook for everything Avalanche. Please join me and all of the AHP fans there!

Take care, thanks for another great season, thanks also for your patience in the delay for the latest show, and see you next time on the Avs Hockey Podcast. See ya!

On Twitter? Follow my show? Like to talk Avs hockey? Now follow the show on Twitter. Just follow Twitter name AvsHkyPodcast and we can stay connected between shows. I'll post tweets from games, while I watch games, and pretty much any other time I'm thinking about Avs hockey which is way more than any other normal person. Please notice the spelling on the Twitter name. Twitter allows one character less for names than I needed for the entire title of the show so I got as close as I could. Looking forward to talking Avs hockey with you on Twitter!

In this show I will at least mention every game between Wednesday, January 21 and Saturday, February 28. I'll also describe the play that defines Darcy Tucker's career with the Avs so far, I'll give you the latest Avalanche trade rumors as we approach the March 4th NHL trade deadline, and I'll give you the Avalanche's chances of making this season's playoffs in an actual percentage. Those topics and much more in episode #40 of The Avs Hockey Podcast. Thanks for sticking with me Avs fans!

In this show I'll recap all 11 games between Monday, December 29 and Sunday, January 18. I'll also describe the one play that epitomizes Tyler Arnason's season, I'll tell you about a period of hockey Avs fans will remember for a long time, and I'll tell you the one and only thing that kept my wife and I in our seats well into the third period of the 6-1 whoopin' the Avs got from the Blue Jackets on Friday, January 2. Those topics and much, much more in episode number 39 of The Avs Hockey Podcast. Thanks again for joining me Avs fans!

This is just before my free skate at the Pepsi Center prior the Avs/Canucks game on December 8, 2008. I hope to do this again during the spring as well. Definitely an experience I'll remember for a long time. Not many people get to do stuff like this!

In this show I'll break down all seven games between December 12th and December 27th. I'll also tell you how the Avs won a shootout without ever scoring a shootout goal, I'll give you a play-by-play of Ryan Smyth at any Avs practice, and I'll give you 1,000 more reasons to love Adam Foote. Those topics, a new question of the week, and much more in episode #38 of The Avs Hockey Podcast. Happy New Year's Avs fans!

In this show I'll cover the 6-5 win against the Wild, the 3-2 loss to the Predators, the 2-1 shootout loss against the Stars, the 5-4 shootout win versus the Canucks, and the 6-1 demolition of the Kings. I'll also tell you why John Zeiler has way more class than Jordin Tootoo, I'll have a full recap of the coolest free skate in free skate history, and I'll tell you why the scoreboard now reads: snow blowers 3 and Joe Sakic 0. Those topics, your responses to the question of the week, and much more in episode #37 of The Avs Hockey Podcast. Happy Holidays Avs fans!

In this show I'll break down the 4-3 shootout win against the Kings, the 4-1 loss to the Ducks, the 3-1 win versus the Blues, the 2-1 loss against the Coyotes, and the 4-3 win versus the Lightning. I'll also tell you why Lappy playing in Black Friday's game against the Coyotes saved someone a bunch of money, why Kings foward John Zeiler should watch his back when the Avs play the Kings again on December 9th, and I will make history and actually criticize Avalanche captain Joe Sakic for the first time ever on my show. Those topics, your responses to the week, and much more in episode #36 of The Avs Hockey Podcast. Thanks for listening Avs fans!

In this show I'll recap the shootout wins against the Canucks and Oilers as well as the back-to-back losses versus the Flames. I'll also give you three reasons why Wojtek Wolski is our friend in the shootout, I'll tell you why it's now a little safer to buy a Paul Stastny Avalanche jersey, and I'll try to explain why the Avs have struggled so badly as of late. Those topics, your responses to the week, and much more in episode #35 of The Avs Hockey Podcast. Thanks for tuning in Avs fans!
