Goodbye Avs. Hello NHL Playoff Tickets.

Things I know about the Colorado Avalanche:

1. They left us with quite a disappointing end to the season.
2. Next season better lead to a solid playoff run.
3. I still love them with all my heart.

Which is why I decided to renew my season of Avalanche tickets for next year. And why I'll continue cheering them on for every game. And I can't WAIT until the NHL Entry Draft in June.

Until then, I have to say that I will just wallow in disappointment while I watch all of the games on the NHL Playoffs schedule and wish that I were watching the Avs beat out every East Coast team. Damn.

Colorado Avalanche Playoff Potential?

The question that is burning in every Colorado Avalanche fan's mind: will they or won't they make the NHL playoffs? Well, they're on the brink. They still could make it. But they did lose last night to the San Jose Sharks, giving the Sharks the 1st place spot in their division. Annnd they didn't just lose. They lost 5-1. Basically: if they keep up this kind of play, there's not going to be any playoff action on the Avalanche schedule. Which makes me the teeeeeniest  bit sad. Which means I need something new to keep on cheering for my team! So I found this awesome Avs tank, perfect for a little warmer weather. It's dusted with Swarovski Crystals and just adorable. It's a little pricey for $55, but hey, a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do. And I NEED this shirt. Ciao!

Avs Make It...Easier...To Get Some Coloardo Avalanche Tickets

Six losses in eight games = no bueno for the Colorado Avalanche. But it could = muy bueno for you, if you love hockey (or have a little one that loves  hockey) but are sticking to a budget. Why, you ask? Well, let me tell you! When the team isn't playing as hot as fans would like, there's less demand to see a game. Which means prices on those tickets go down. Which means you can either:

a. go to a game and spend less money

b. sit in better seats for the same amount you would have spent.

Now for this Avalanche fanatic, I would opt for numero dos. (aka letter b). But you just have to decide what your ideal situation is! Spend less on seats and more on hot dogs and diet pepsi, or sit down closer to the players so you can try to make eye contact. The choice is yours, loves!

Colorado Avalanche Roster: Down But Not Out

So the Av's disappointing pre-All Star Break loss to the Minnesota Wild kind of sucked. Mostly because the team had a great chance to show off some skills and grab a couple of much needed points to make it to the playoffs, and then barely even showed up to the game. That being said, our ice boys still have a big chance to make it to the playoffs this season. What we need to make that happen:

1. A stronger 2nd period. For some reason, the team can't seem to keep the level of play consistent throughout the entire game. Unless you count them consistently performing sub-par during the second period. I don't know if it's an individual mentality thing or a coaching thing, but whatever they're doing is screwing with their heads enough to really screw with their game. For 20 minutes.

2. Matt Duchene needs to get better. Knee injuries suck, so cheers to him recovering quickly. This team just isn't playing at the same level without him. Again, could just be a mental thing, but there's no doubt that Duchene on the bench is messing with some heads on the Avalanche roster.

3. The team needs to utilize both goalies to avoid having one playing tired. That might be a 2 game on - 1 game off deal for Giguere, but our best offense is a good defense. And defense starts at the net - so let's make sure the guys IN the net are ON the puck. So to speak (that was my attempt at humor...).

Anyway - hoping to a good rest of the season and a solid post-season. Go Avs!

The Colorado Avalanche. Mid-Season. Love.

Alright. Did you guys see that Avalanche vs. Ducks game? Sad. We almost had 'em, dagnabbit! So if you want to wash away your Avalanche loss blues, why not check them out at one of their upcoming games? You know you want to. My suggestions:

February 2nd: Avs take on the Minnesota Wild at the Pepsi Center
