Rank #2: Burgundy Radio: Talent Crisis (11/11/2019)
The Avs have lost several of their best players to injury and they just scored nine goals on the Predators anyway.

Rank #11: Burgundy Radio: Full Dozen (12/9/2019)
Valerie Nichushkin is a goal scorer now. We have no idea what to do with this information. Also, give Nathan MacKinnon the dang Hart already, whether the Avs trading for Taylor Hall is even a good idea, it's impossible for the Avs to lose in Boston, and a quick aside on hockey's culture problem coming to light. It lasts from 22:58-29:50 if you would like to avoid such topics.

Rank #12: Burgundy Radio: How does this affect the Leafs? (11/25/2019)
This time, the Western Canada trip maybe didn't ruin the Avalanche, even though it tried very hard to? Also, the Avs call up a defender during the show, piecing together what's going wrong with team defense, Cale Makar remains Cale Makar, and we promise Burgundy Radio isn't sponsored. Pinky swear.
