Burgundy Radio

Steph, earl and Jackie break down the road trip and wonder about the playoffs outlook. Plus, trying not to worry about Ian Cole, a hotly contested Star of the Week, and what to do with the injury to Kamenev!

The Avs have lost several of their best players to injury and they just scored nine goals on the Predators anyway. We look at the bad bits, the good bits, and howl into the void that is the NHL rulebook over the past two weeks. Plus, a preview of what's coming up on the swing through western Canada!

Steph, earl, Jackie, and Rudo look at an ugly Avalanche week that still somehow produced a lot of points, how to clean it up against future opponents, and swoon over Mikko Rantanen!

Steph, earl, and Jackie meet up between games of the Avalanche's back to back with Chicago to try and figure out whether we can trust this winning streak or not. Plus, Grubauer is killing it, Shane Bowers may stay at BU, and the next step without Mikko Rantanen in the lineup!

The Avalanche made all their selections in the 2019 Entry Draft. Steph enlisted tigervixxxen, earl, and Rudo to tell you everything we like about them and everything we're worried about with them. Plus, we talk UFA targets, and earl is not, in fact, in orbit!

Everyone is here to celebrate the Avalanche season as it comes to a close. Plus, That Offsides Call, the Avs' MVP and unsung heroes, and Steph steals Jackie's question idea as if it were their own: Should the 2019-20 Colorado Avalanche be considered a contender?

The Avs are on a 9-game points streak, even if this week was ugly. The gang talk about Pavel Francouz, making space on the blueline for.... Anton Lindholm? and Akim Aliu's blackface incident with the Eagles. Also, breaking down Taylor Hall trade destinations that aren't the Avs!

Steph, earl, Jackie, and Rudo are back! We wonder if the Avalanche actually have two different power plays and Jackie has a terrible suggestion for the MacKinnon line's nickname. Plus, the offside reviews come for our show D:

Steph, earl, and Jackie collectively grasp at straws to try to explain why the Avalanche are suddenly giving up half a dozen goals a game. Also, everyone hated the Islanders game, claps for Sam Girard, and the Devils fire Ray Shero in the middle of the show!

The Avalanche had a week of extremes. We look at what went bad, what went good, and what was exceptional (spoiler: see title). Plus, earl has a new headset, how the power play suddenly started finding success, and NHL standings points math is hard.

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.

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.

Steph, earl, and Jackie break down the madness from Game 1 and 2 of Colorado's first round series with the Calgary Flames, hype up Gabe Landeskog, and finally get an answer to the age-old question: Dude, where's Makar?

Steph, earl, and Jackie take a look at how the Avalanche have made it a 10 game point streak, The Erik Johnson Red Mist Incident 2018, and what the Avs can do in the absence of two of their defenders. Plus, accolades for an Avs forward, Jackie thinks Sam Girard is okay at hockey, and predicting the road trip!

Steph is joined by earl, Rudo, and Jackie after that disgraceful, but flu-ridden, loss to the Anaheim Ducks. Will Ian Cole get suspended? Why did the team stop doing what was working??? Why won't Minnesota just lose their games?????

(We recorded this before the Avs called up Andrew Aggozino.)Steph is joined by earl, Rudo, and tigervixxxen to talk about some of the things going wrong for the Avalanche this month and dreams for the trade deadline. Also, what a Barrie return might look like, fear of moving past the blueline, and Mr. Tigervixxxen Out Of Nowhere's thoughts on the loss to the Blues!

Steph, earl, Jackie, and Rudo were left by the NHL scheduler with only 1 second round game to yell about, so they took the opportunity to, er, "preview" the remaining up-to-6 games, and find lessons in Game 1 for the Avs to learn from.

Jackie is back! She re-joins Steph and earl for a bunch of speculation: What should the Avs do this trade deadline? What might actually happen? What need has to be addressed in the next six months? Which voice on the pod gets a debilitating calf cramp but finishes their shift anyway?

Steph, earl, and Jackie thought this thing was over but apparently it isn't. We reflect on a tough week of... wins...? Plus, the lineup without Gabe Landeskog, if and when you can expect Cale Makar, and the question must be asked: Can the Avalanche bank points? Is it possible?

Steph gets back together with earl, Jackie, and Rudo to party because the Colorado Avalanche won all 4 games of their homestand. Plus, impacts from new players, Pavel Francouz made his NHL starting debut, and the road trip gets a paper-tiger check!
