The Avs got "goalied." Multiple times in fact. What does it mean to get "goalied?" It means no matter how many shots Nathan MacKinnon puts on net, how many grade-A chances Cale Makar creates, or how many snipes or back door tap in's Mikko Rantanen tries to set up, the hot hand of the opposing goalie allows none of it. Much to the dismay of the Avalanche Faithful.

Where have the episodes been this new year? A minor hiccup in scheduling but were back on track Avs Faithful. We have new power rankings and a new chapter in the Colorado coming back against Buffalo saga and I got to see it live and in person. All this drama and more on this episode of the Captain Avalanche Fancast.

Welp, this one took a while, but Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays whatever you may or may not celebrate Avs Faithful. Some teams are naughty but the Avs are oh so nice this year being gifted with a new goaltending tandem and depth contributions from across the board. There's a lot to look forward to in the new year.

It has not been the brightest week of hockey for either of the Colorado Avalanche or San Jose Sharks. There have been close losses, unlucky losses, and just straight losses. But there are some bright spots. Macklin Celebrini and Nikolai Kovalenko can't stop scoring goals and Mackenzie Blackwood can't stop saving goals. Keep your heads up Avs fans, there is still lot's of hockey left in the season.

It is official. As Captain Avalanche Cory so beautifully predicted, all on his own with no help, the Colorado Avalanche have traded for Mackenzie Blackwood. Thus solidifying their new goaltending tandem going forward. Get hyped Avs fans, if this early showing is anything, we have a lot to look forward to. The Avs went 4 for 5 on a long road trip. So that's cool too.

Who will win the Avalanche Goalie Sweepstakes? Will it be the one of the veterans Cam Talbot or John Gibson? Or perhaps some young blood in Dan Vladar and Mackenzie Blackwood. All I know is that Avs fans are the real winners with the acquisition of Scott Wedgewood and let us tell you Avs fan, this team likely isn't done. We take a look at who the Avalanche might acquire as their next number one goaltender, look at their fifth tendy between the pipes, rave about the prospect of the Sharks in the playoffs, and so much more!

The Avalanche have finally arrived back home after a (mostly) successful road trip. But we can't ignore the ending. Captain Avalanche Cory does his best Steve Dangle impression as he screams the tale of the Avs woes in Tampa and sings their praises for an over .500 road trip. Jumbo Joe got his number retired and were all preparing for some turkey in our gullets. Happy Thanksgiving Avs Faithful!

So maybe Friday against Washington wasn't all that great, but getting to celebrate with EJ in Philly with a victory definitely was. We take a long dive in the tank today, make fun of other franchises and ourselves and eat some garlic bread along the way.
