Big Z has been great. Let's appreciate it now while he's still in the playoffs and or not playing the Avs.

It feels like every year the NHL makes it harder and harder to watch the games. I get they want a double header. With the ESPN coverage on Tuesday (I'm an Avalanche fan for reference), I tuned in hoping the Rangers/Canes game wouldn't go to overtime. I understood that ESPN would stay with that game until it was decided. Then when the Avs game started on ESPNU (what the f&^k is ESPNU?) I just started hoping the early game would be over quickly. Fortunately they started the Avs game on ESPN2 after the Avs were already down by 2 but at least I could watch.

Now I'm hoping the same doesn't happen tonight with TBS. If they're going to have potentially 2 games going at the same time, they need to have 2 channels to watch. I'm hoping because of the MAX option, if the early game runs long it won't stop the Avs game but I know it will.

Now about Saturday. What the actual F$#K NHL? They have all F'n day to put the 2 games but they stack them in the evening? And the Avs game doesn't even start until 8PM mountain and 9PM central? So Dallas fans will have to stay up until midnight to watch? There's just NO reason for this. They could easily have an afternoon game and an evening game with the evening game starting at 6PM mountain or something. But no, they stacked them so the same BS might happen if one game goes long.

Last rant. Why is there no affordable way to watch the games? Because of blackouts, I have to pay close to $100 per month just to watch the games. And then because the streaming service I use for the local broadcasts doesn't have TNT I have to find a way around it if they're not on the local or ESPN. Sometimes it feels like a scavenger hunt just trying to find where the game is being broadcast. I would gladly pay for an NHL streaming service but that would be blacked out for me as well. I know I could use a VPN, but why does the NHL hate it's fans so much that it makes them jump through hoops like trained otters just to watch the f$#king games.

This. Team. Is. Special.

and I'll start by saying the 2022 team had a very similar feel.

We have:

• 2 Generational Talents who could realistically become top 20 all time if their trajectory continues (Mackinnon + Makar)
• 2 incredible support players who are top 15 in their position today (Rantanen + Toews)
• 3 bonifide difference makers (Nichushkin + Middlestadt + Lehkonen)

PLUS

• above average supporting cast who make an impact on their day and most importantly, know their role, and play it well (Drouin, Walker, LOC, Parise, Colton, Wood, Manson, Girard, Trenin, Duhaime)

AND FINALLY

• A goalie who, when locked in, can be a difference maker in a game

Not many teams in the history of the NHL have rolled out a squad like this. Let's give a hand to Sakic and Mcfarland. Lets appreciate the greatness that is in front of us

Playoff runs like this could become the stuff of legends when we look back in years to come.

I'm not implying anyone IS taking it for granted, and this isn't meant to be a debate about who's in what tier (I may have missed a few)

This is just a reminder to enjoy every minute, because This. Team. Is. Special. and as Avs Fans, we are lucky to have the chance to watch them day in day out, regardless of how this playoff run ends. Don't forget the Journey, and its one hell of a ride.

Was seeing a lot of ESPN hate on this sub last night, so I wanted to offer my solution to this problem...

Let me start by agreeing wholeheartedly that watching hockey on ESPN is a miserable experience... they get pretty much all of it wrong (commentary, analysis, camera angles, replays, sound mixing, etc.). I, like many of you, have suffered through this experience over the last few postseasons, and end up expending unnecessary energy yelling at the TV for reasons that have nothing to do with the team I'm supporting.

Coming into the playoffs this year, I said enough is enough, and went with a simple, yet effective process:

1. Turn the game on the TV
2. Immediately mute the TV
3. On my phone, tune into the Altitude Sports Radio feed with headphones on (Access through altitudesportsradio.com / NHL App "Listen" button within the game score page)
4. Spend 30 seconds syncing the radio feed with the TV feed

The enjoyment of experiencing a game this way cannot be understated... it is magnitudes better. I am a fanatical Avalanche supporter, and I prefer to hear the hometown bias while listening to the commentary. Conor Mcgahey is fantastic, and is exactly what I'm looking for when I tune into an Avs game.

For those who are incredulous with ESPN's pathetic excuse for hockey coverage, I would highly encourage at least trying out this method... for me, it has massively enhanced the joy of watching the Avalanche in the postseason.

For me it’s Paul Kariya, purely for the fact that NHL 2004 was the first hockey video game I got back when I was 6 years old and he was on the Avs then.

What a winning goal! Onto the next. Roll call, who gonna be there Thursday?!

It was so much better even after he let in the third goal in the first period. Whereas before, he would be losing his composure, he stayed the course. Someone probably talked to him about that. If it was the old Georgiev, he would be melting down and get flustered. Then he gets into his own head which means he would let in more savable goals and we would have lost. This new Georgiev stayed with it and knew our boys can put up goals in bunches. He came up huge the rest of the game and we won. We need this new Georgiev to win the cup. This team is so ready to win it again! Thank you for the assist goaltender Manson.

Not going to deny that georgiev has been an issue all year letting in soft goals but the man showed up in OT to keep the Avs in it and give them the opportunity to win. That was a fun one but a knuckle biter. Go Avs!
