Get the smellin salts buddies hockey is almost here! My final thoughts on the preseason that was - with a special shout to Tri-City Storm alumni Gavin Brindley for making the roster out of camp! #GoAvsGo

How the Colorado Avalanche made good use of the preseason

The Avalanche finished the preseason 4-2. What did we learn about the roster heading into games that really count?

I was confused as to how anyone could even think they were breaking ground with this essay topic in 2025..

Then I see it’s by the editor of The Economist.

Are finance guys just living in a reality as a human pocket protector or what?

His due?

Joaquin played him in a biopic 20 years ago.

Sharp Pins - Turtle Rock.. Kai Slater is back already with a third (!!) album in 2025

Soft Serv - Split. Lovely NYC jangle debut.

Malin Pettersen - Wildflower. Big beautiful Americana from Oslo, Norway?

Boyish - Gun. Feverdreamy pop duo

Maybe the Broncos did something to the Eagles? I dunno.

I actually hope Denver takes it as a lesson themselves and really commits to playing well against the Jets.

It’s a reminder that any team in the NFL can be dangerous for sure. #BroncosCountry

Tryin to get coached up man! Life is hard.

Jokic basically does this every offseason for the Nuggets where he zeroes in on something to improve on drastically and actually achieves it.

Why not the best in the world at hockey too?

I have been waiting forever for it - because he’s so good at everything else.. but if Nate becomes a faceoff ace?! 👀

This is the perspective I need. Thanks ❤️

The Mammoth have a lot of goal scoring talent between Keller , Gunther and Cooley etc.

It’s a team people look past now but they really shouldn’t. A 1 goal lead does not feel comfortable.

Aww that’s sad.😔

When they did an interview with Hakstol and he said he just watched film of the old system and he wanted to do it too I was like…

Man the whole Covid lockdown era absolutely tanked my beer tolerance.

I used to hang with my best bud 2 to 3 nights a week and easily drink double what gets me tipped over now.

Part of it sucks because 3 beers during a hockey game now makes me sleepy AF. But my wallet approves.

MacK heard em talking about how he needed a home point and said ok bet. Colorado back in front. #GoAvsGo

At least they are tied and can figure it out. If this were the beginning of last year the Avalanche would probably be down 4-1.

The Avs just cruising along there in the second. Not good enough. They find themselves tied after two. Gotta refocus and get back to firing pucks if they want this W. #GoAvsGo

Valiant effort by Wedgewood so far but Mammoth draw even on a almost instantaneous PPG. #GoAvsGo

Utah keeps trying to bully our Captain. Sure would be nice if Colorado made em regret it by scoring here. #GoAvsGo

Avalanche take a 1 goal lead into the room after 1. Pretty enthused to see the third line gettin on the scoresheet and Olofsson gets his first official point in an Avs sweater. #GoAvsGo

First helpin’ on chicken and waffles on the season. Avs up 1-0. #GoAvsGo

If you are unfamiliar — I really liked Buffaloed * which I watched thanks to another movie game result last year.

Wanted to get a change of pace from the movie game. A director spotlight matchup for Tanya Wexler.

Avs win - Jolt

Avs lose - Hysteria
