In this show, James “Tapeleg” Gralian and I discuss: the Avalanche’s hot start, Patrick Roy’s debut as the Avs’ head coach, and we give Cody McLeod credit for playing in his 400th game in the NHL as well as talk about his hit on Detroit’s Niklas Kronwall.  Those topics and a whole lot more Avs and hockey stuff are included in episode #83 of The Avs Hockey Podcast.

The audio quality of this show, as James explains in the intro, isn’t what we or you are used to on The AHP, but it was the best we could do and it’s way better than nothing.

Welcome to the season, thanks for joining us, and Let’s Go Avs!

Matt Duchene skates faster than you do.  He’s much faster than a tired Patrice Bergeron as well.  Here’s proof.

Bad news and good news AHP fans…

James and I recorded a podcast this weekend.  Everything seemed like it was cool and we had a great show for you guys.  James went to edit the show and the small sample of what’s attached is what the entire podcast sounded like.  It’s not awful, but it was definitely not good enough for us to post the whole show.  We take pride in the content as well as the sound quality of our podcast and don’t want to compromise either if it’s at all possible.  We apologize for not having a full show for you.  There’s not a whole lot that we can do about that right now with many other important things going on in our lives.  We will record another full show for you here in the near future.  Thanks for your patience with that.

On the flip side, just before we recorded our show, James and I were asked to be guests on another NHL podcast.  Jeff Ponder from The Bash Brothers Podcast recorded a segment with us that he posted here, so please give it a listen.  We go on at the one hour and two minute mark an talk Avs hockey for about 25 minutes.

Below you will find some of the resources that we were going to post with The AHP 83 had it sounded a little bit better.

And the worst locker room interviews ever.  Great stuff!

 

Thanks again for your patience and understanding.  We really do hate to leaving your ear holes unsatisfied.  We are definitely disappointed that our show didn’t turn out the way we wanted it to for you.  We will talk to you again soon though.  Until then, take care and Let’s Go Avs!
