In my latest for Mile High Sticking I took a look at an incredible stat that shows why the Avalanche may be even better than you think. #GoAvsGo

The stat that best proves why the Colorado Avalanche are a Stanley Cup favorite
What happens when you lead the National Hockey League in goals scored and fewest goals allowed? Utter dominance.

I mentioned last week how we needed a big cat performance this year - finally found one in Caught Stealing.
Saturday segababa double. It went bad yesterday but I have faith in my Avs and Nuggs to get some bounce back wins.

Haven’t seen enough of the crime genre in 2025 releases so I’m fixing that.

2 wins - Caught Stealing

1 win - She Rides Shotgun

0 wins - Sovereign

Nuggets win and finish of the bounce back twofer on the day.

Sure, I was bummed out yesterday but part of why I believe in both these teams is seeing the way they respond to disappointments with team effort. #MileHighBasketball

RIP to Daniel Woodrell.

I haven’t read everything he wrote, but everything I have read ; Winter’s Bone, The Outlaw Album and The Death of Sweet Mister left an impression.

One of the most unique voices in American fiction.

I just added Tomato Red to my Christmas list.

Colorado crushes Montreal 7-2. The win streak might have ended yesterday , but if my rough math is right I think that’s 16 games in a row with points for the Avalanche. That’s hot enough to melt the ice.

Wheeeee! This time it’s Nate assisting Gabe for the PPG and Marty gets his third point of the afternoon. 7-2 #GoAvsGo
November 29, 2025 at 10:22 PM
Aww. Montreal cashes in on the PP. score is now 6-2
November 29, 2025 at 10:15 PM
Devon at last! This team is so fun. Colorado leads 6-1. It’s a beatdown at Ball. #GoAvsGo

More crazy Colorado Avs hockey in the second. Nelson is off hat trick watch momentarily as they gave a goal back to Landy in a wild plot twist. Brock then immediately goes back on hat trick watch - oh and Burnsy bombsy and a vintage Gabe to Nate goal?!! Avs up 5-1 after 2 #GoAvsGo
November 29, 2025 at 9:54 PM
That’s a solid first on no rest. Of course you love Nelson scoring twice , but that momentum was started by Blackwood being awesome. #GoAvsGo
November 29, 2025 at 8:52 PM
The goal stands and the Avalanche lead by a pair. Nelly is on hat trick watch officially as Colorado goes on the powerplay #GoAvsGo
November 29, 2025 at 8:38 PM
Nelly scores another as Gabe is sent careening into the net. The Habs are unhappy but they count it.

Challenge incoming. #GoAvsGo
November 29, 2025 at 8:35 PM
Blackwood is on it today.
November 29, 2025 at 8:27 PM
💯 Nelson! Avalanche up early! #GoAvsGo

Snow White 2025 is not good - but it’s not as awful as people made it out to be either.

Rachel Ziegler deserved better. Disney just created a perfect storm of poor choices surrounding it.

This was oversold as a crime against movies.
November 29, 2025 at 3:53 PM
I’ve done it to myself again buddies. My teams serve up an 0-3 leftover turkey fart and I end up watching Snow White which has been widely panned as one of 2025’s worst films ..
Big time Friday triple. The theme is fairy tales

3 wins - Gretel & Hansel
2 wins - Red Riding Hood
1 win - Tale of Tales
0 wins - Snow White (2025)

Gross game. As if I needed more reasons to hate the dumb NBA Cup.

Maybe this team wants rest more than they want to play in this silly tournament.

A putrid third for Denver and now it’s a win a quarter to win a game situation in the fourth.
November 29, 2025 at 4:25 AM
Nuggets with a furious turnaround in the second there! Can they finish the job and win saving me from the dreaded 0-3?? #MileHighBasketball
November 29, 2025 at 3:42 AM
Landy just tied it on an amazing effort play after getting whacked. That’s my captain! #GoAvsGo

Fast hockey being played in the matinee in Minnesota. The Avalanche have a lead after 20. #GoAvsGo
November 28, 2025 at 9:22 PM
Nate opens the scoring and the Avs are up 1-0! #GoAvsGo

The Avs are still as hot as a thousand suns and Swiss Army Man ended up being a close to perfect movie for Thanksgiving morning - our foremost farting holiday.
Avs going for 10 straight , against the last team that beat them. Hope they are extra motivated.

Wanted a guaranteed hitter tonight in the movie game. Going with two movies I can’t believe I haven’t seen yet.

Avs win - Swiss Army Man

Avs lose - Nope

Getting some steps in after the win and this came on the shuffle to remind me to credit my Blenderman Jared Bednar #GoAvsGo
