NHL: Avalanche Warning - 2/13/12
The Colorado Avalanche have earned five points in their last three games and are certainly trending in the right direction after a tough divisional stretch. The conclusion of the four-game homestand proved fruitful for Colorado as they defeated the Chicago Blackhawks 5-2 last Tuesday and the Carolina Hurricanes in a thrilling 4-3 overtime win in which Ryan O'Reilly was the hero...

It is truly...

Aaron Musick: The evoloution of Erik Johnson
This has been an article I've been writing for a while but because of the Denver Post's article by Mike Chambers, it felt like the right time.
When the Avalanche added a player like Erik Johnson to their roster late last year, there were some serious questions that had to be answered.
Was he a first round bust? Can he find his game again? Will he stop being so soft...

Duchene back to practice
Matt Duchene at practice today, though he wore the pumpkin jersey for non-contact. He looked much quicker on his skates than when I saw him a few days ago, skating on his own.
We’ll get an update on him after practice, but the signs are looking strong he’ll be back real soon.
Here’s some video of him from the practice:

Avs' Erik Johnson performs well with a bit of a mean streak
Erik Johnson played like he had a score to settle with the St. Louis Blues on Saturday night. The young Avalanche defenseman was chippy but did not commit a penalty, and his mean streak was pure benefit to his team.

Quiet Sunday for Avalanche
No practice today for the Avs, who resume practice Monday and next play at Vancouver on Wednesday. Adrian Dater will be on that three-game, western-Canadian trip. Look for a story in Monday’s paper about young defenseman Erik Johnson, who had one of his best games as an Av against St. Louis, his former team, on Saturday night. The story speaks to required skills that EJ actually...

Improved Offense, Blues Win Again: 3-2 Over the Avalanche
With one fell swoop from Patrick Berglund and a deft tip from Carlo Colaiacovo finished a game that should have ended long, giving the St. Louis Blues a 3-2 overtime win over the Colorado Avalanche.
It was never a game St. Louis looked like losing, merely another that provided dominating attacking periods after one another only to be frustrated by a game goalie in Semyon Varlamov...

Hejduk scheduled to tie Foote in franchise games played
ST. LOUIS — No skate today for the Avalanche, which flew here immediately after last night’s 4-3 overtime victory over Carolina in Denver. No updates, really, other than the same guys who participated in last night’s warmups — including scratched defenseman Ryan Wilson — also just skated in warmups at Scottrade Center.
Assuming veteran winger Milan Hejduk...

The hockey gods giveth and they taketh away. I feel that phrase sums up tonight's game well as the Hurricanes suffered their second consecutive overtime loss and this time the game-winner goal came with less than two seconds left in overtime. To make matters worse, Carolina had a 38-28 even strength shot advantage and controlled this game for a good 40-some minutes but a few...
