While we may be losing our minds without Avalanche hockey, the Olympics have begun and hockey is just around the corner once again. Did team USA bring a good enough team to take home a gold medal for the first time since 1980, or is the Avalanche's firepower on Team Canada with MacKinnon, Makar, and Toews too much to overcome? Is anything short of a gold medal a failure for Team USA?

The Avalanche are taking some much needed positive momentum into the Olympic break after a dominant 4-2 victory over the San Jose Sharks, surviving a rough month stretch to keep in the lead in the West. The Avs powerplay officially dropped into last place in the entire league in the win, and it's far past time to have a serious conversation about what needs to be done to fix this before it tanks the season in the playoffs.

The Avalanche are becoming a two faced team before the olympic break, shutting out the Detroit Red Wings on the road with a 5-0 win before being shutout themselves 2-0 by the same Red Wings team two days later. Is it really just as simple as they need to get to the break and will come back in three weeks ready to figure it out? Also, when is enough enough with this powerplay after another overpassing empty handed performance? Could the Avs make a move before the trade freeze? Finally, answering your mailbag questions!

The Avalanche did not show up at all for their back to back against the Ottawa Senators and Montreal Canadiens, and in turn were embarrassed twice in 24 hours as they clearly are looking towards the Olympics more than this final stretch before break. The powerplay is at a crisis point now, they need to something real to make change, but what is that change? But even still, the Avalanche are going to be just fine after getting healthy and making some trade deadline additions right? Finally, answering your mailbag questions!

The Avalanche got the bounce back that they needed to start the road trip, dominating the Maple Leafs in Toronto on the back of a Brock Nelson hat trick and an incredible 32 save performance from Mackenzie Blackwood. Can this win be the start of another run after a disappointing homestand, and will we see Toews or Colton make their return to the lineup again soon? Also, who are the Avalanche most likely to face in Round 1 with 32 games left to go? Finally, answering your mailbag questions!

One year after the blockbuster trade that sent Mikko Rantanen to Carolina and brought Martin Necas to Colorado, the Avalanche have hit a low point after an embarrassing 7-3 to the Philadelphia Flyers with a horrible powerplay and overall horrible execution. Can they break out of this rut before the Olympic break?

The Avalanche bounced back nicely on home ice with a 5-2 win over the Washington Capitals, complete with a three point night from Nathan MacKinnon and another game of even strength domination. How far can the Avalanche pull away from the Central division before the Olympic break, and how much thought needs to go into the trade deadline this season?

The Avalanche have lost consecutive games for the first time and their first regulation game at home this season, as they've hit a bit of a lull in the dog days of January. Is there anything to worry about long term from the loss to the Nashville Predators, or can they bounce back with a win over the Washington Capitals on Monday?

The Avalanche had their 17 game home winning streak snapped against the Toronto Maple Leafs in a overtime loss, but are getting a much needed few days of rest after 6 games in the last ten days. Are they getting enough from their depth during January so far, and do they have anything to really worry about with such a large lead over the rest of the NHL?

The Avalanche continue to roll at home with their 17th straight win, shutting out the Columbus Blue Jackets 4-0 with Trent Miner's first career win. Even in a game where their stars are held point less, the Avs depth is still able to come through and dominate. The trade deadline rumors are beginning to swirl as some teams spiral out of control, could the Avs do any big game hunting before the deadline?

After their first two straight regulation losses of the season, the Avalanche kicked off a seven game homestand with a 8-2 embarrassment of the Ottawa Senators on the back of Josh Manson's best game of his career and a Gordie Howe hat trick. Additionally, the Avs are finally getting to play another outdoor game as they head to Utah to play the Mammoth in the 2027 Winter Classic.

The health of Gabe Landeskog immediately became the top priority for the Avs in just their third regulation loss of the year against Florida, but it seems they avoided the worst case with an upper body injury. Additionally, Toews and Blackwood will also some miss some time. The loss to Florida comes on the heels of another great comeback win over the Hurricanes, with the powerplay finally coming through. Team USA also named their Olympic roster, and it sucks, but Brock Nelson made it so it's fine.

2025 has come to a close, and what a run it's been for the Avalanche since October, as the first team in NHL history to hit 30 wins before the new year. Blackwood and Wedgewood being snubbed from Team Canada couldn't the new years spirit, as the Avalanche got to embarrass Jordan Binnington who was selected instead in front of the GM who picked him, running the Blues out of the building with a 6-1 dominant win. With Nathan MacKinnon hitting 400 goals as well, there's so much greatness to reflect on as we head into 2026.
