We talk pucks and objects of that kind. We yell, complain, and analyze in the language of hockey fandom. Gretzky can do no wrong.
Ending the Year on a Roll
It's fitting that the Colorado Avalanche's last game of the 2024 calendar year was against the Winnipeg Jets. The Avs entered that year having problems with Winnipeg, yet the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs saw us totally dismantle them. However, Connor Hellebuyck got his pound of flesh in the first meeting of the season, a 1-0 shutout win in Winnipeg. On New Year's Eve, it was Round Two, and it was in Denver this time. We had the added bonus of Jonathan Drouin returning to the lineup as well.

The Colorado Avalanche's last game before the holiday break was a big home victory against the Seattle Kraken, which was centered by Joel Kiviranta's Hat Trick. The Avs returned to action with two games left in the calendar year, and the first of those two games was a meeting with the Utah Hockey Club. This was the third meeting of the season, with the two teams splitting the first two, though the road team is undefeated in this season set.

It's the Wedgewood That Makes it Good
The Colorado Avalanche were coming off an amazing win in San Jose against the Sharks; an interesting battle between the two goalies who were traded for each other: Mackenzie Blackwood and Alexandar Georgiev. So the Avs were 1-1 in the three-game road trip, and we concluded our trip to the Pacific Time Zone with a stop in the epicenter of Orange County, California: Anaheim. This meeting was the second of the season between the Avalanche and the Anaheim Ducks, with the first one taking place on October 18, with the Avs defeating the Ducks in OT for our first win of the season after a shocking 0-4 start.

Trading Places
Amazing. When the Colorado Avalanche and the San Jose Sharks last faced each other, Alexandar Georgiev was with the former, and Mackenzie Blackwood was with the latter. Over a month later, the two goalies were swapped for each other, as Colorado was looking to solve our goaltender problems. Interestingly, these two goalies were not in net during the first meeting between the clubs this season. In this matchup, they were.

The Colorado Avalanche were coming off a very impressive win at home over the Nashville Predators, in what was Mackenzie Blackwood's Avs debut, but once again, we were back on the road. At least, this time, it's a three game trip, and it is in the West. Can't get any more West in this continental land mass than the Pacific Time Zone, and that's where the Avs would be for the next three games. The first of those three was a trip to the Canadian side of the Pacific Northwest, the city that hosted the 111th Grey Cup and this year's Survivor Series: Vancouver, British Columbia.

Always Bet on Blackwood
For me, this was a very awesome Saturday night. I enjoyed seeing Saturday Night's Main Event for the first time in 16 years, and as the show reached the second half, the Colorado Avalanche began play against the Nashville Predators. This was the third meeting of the season against the Preds; the first meeting in Nashville went the Preds' way, but the second meeting was the overtime win at home for the Avs. This was also the second game of a brief two-game homestand before the Avs would head back on the road for three games in the Pacific Time Zone.

A Cold Homecoming
Finally! Home sweet home for the Avs! This has been a strange schedule so far for the Colorado Avalanche. We are coming off a five game Eastern road trip that saw us win four of those five games. The latest game was a 6-2 win in Pittsburgh over Sidney Crosby's Penguins. Now we are finally in the familiar setting known as Ball Arena. It was December 12, yet this was our first home game this month. That's how whacked our schedule has been. For this bout, it's our second meeting of the season against the Utah Hockey Club, with our first meeting being a blowout win for the Avs in Salt Lake City.

Road Warriors
There they are, folks. Sidney Crosby and Nathan MacKinnon. These are my two favorite players currently in the NHL. It's amazing that I've seen each of their careers since Day One. When Sid started, MacKinnon idolized him, especially since they came from that same place: Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia. Sid was drafted back in 2005 by the Penguins, while the Avs would draft MacKinnon #1 overall eight years later.
