In this show, James “Tapeleg” Gralian and Jay talk about new arrivals to this year’s team and departures from last year’s squad, the importance of roster depth, and they make absolutely no predictions about the upcoming season (while obviously hoping things turn out great.) Those topics and much more Avs and hockey stuff in episode number 131 of the Avs Hockey Podcast. Thank you for joining us for the 15th season of our show and #GoAvsGo!

Looking for plenty of this from a hopefully healthy Bowen Byram this season.

ESPN, NHL.com, theScore, Sportsnet, and many other sources think the Avalanche are ready for a huge season.

All our best to Peter McNab as he recently announced that he had been diagnosed with cancer.

Those topics and whole bunch more Avs and hockey stuff coming at you in episode #130 of The Avs Hockey Podcast. Thanks for joining us this season, friends. We’re sorry the season is over too.

Ryan Reaves was suspended for two games after this outburst during game one of the Avs/Golden Knights series.
A few turnovers is all it takes to lose an NHL game and eventually a series. We all saw this in game five at Ball Arena. Hockey can be such an interesting game at times.

Nazem Kadri was suspended for eight games for this hit on Justin Faulk.
The end-of-series handshake line. One of the best traditions in hockey.

This is episode #129 of The Avs Podcast so James and Jay talk about jersey number 29s in Avalanche history. One of those number 29s was “The Sheriff” Scott Parker. Please check out the details on one of Scott Parker’s game worn jerseys from Jay’s collection here.

This is one of Jay’s favorite modifications to a jersey in his collection. This is what was done on the front of the neck of Scott Parker’s jerseys to keep them from ripping during fights.
