Wow a whole 600


That's 600 requests, not tickets. I'm part of that number and would be buying 5. We're talking potentially thousands of tickets sold to new season ticket holders in one day.

That's not exactly something to dismiss. The number will grow.

Magic number now 11, and about out of reach for Dallas.
Give Wade a few extra days to get settled/get things established for when the portal opens. If we waited until 4/1, that's one hell of a quick turnaround for 4/7

And we did just that as Dallas shite the bed at home.

7 point lead, game in hand, tiebreaker almost clinched. 15 point magic number currently.

Lehky sounds to be back Thursday. If not, held off to return back in Denver.

Great response by the boys

Colton back for the Avs tonight and LOC is making his season debut. Kadri is bumping back to C.

Only missing Lehky now.

And just like that, Avs have a game in hand and a 5 point lead again. Thank you, Vegas!

Avs finishing out this road trip with another win might be all she wrote.

Landeskog said that he needed a “quick surgery to fix a few things” after that Makar slapper to the jewels.

He came back in the game after that.

I’ll never understand the toughness of hockey players, but coming back with broken nuts is a bit more than I would’ve otherwise expected :lol:

MacKinnon has been the odds on favorite pretty much all season, even when McDavid has had the lead.

One would think that if the Avs clinch the Central, it’ll be largely on the performance of MacKinnon, and if the points are close it probably goes to him. Though, like most years, all three mentioned would be deserving.

Ovi gets #1000 and Avs get another 2 points.

Hopefully Vegas breaks the Pacific out of their winless streak tonight!

I’ll never say this ever again - thank you, Wild!

Avs with a 3.5 point lead and a game in hand. Magic number is 23 unless my math is off. We will have the tiebreaker.

Ivan Ivan sent down… LOC incoming.

Avalanche are first team to clinch a playoff spot, get to 100 points on the season, and more importantly - now with a 4 point lead, really 4.5 with the tiebreaker, on the division finally at equal games played with Dallas (though that changes by Sunday :lol:).

It feels weird to think Sunday is likely the last time we play against Ovi.

But yeah, we should have our roster back soon. Still, I will be on Max hockey anxiety if those two have a series.


Oh, no doubt. No different than Bednar’s woes an inability to get past the second round until 22.

No one back tonight for the Avalanche, but Bednar said one guy is going to be back Sunday if all goes to plan. Seems like LOC given two straight practices working on the PK.

All the others skated this morning. It sure would be nice to shake off the injury bug we’ve had in 2026.

Now if Mckinnon was hurt that's a different story.


Ah, yes. The guy who knows all about hockey, yet can’t spell the best player in the world’s name correctly.

OH FYI I actually live in DFW and you probably jumped on the AV's bandwagon when Joe Sakic and Peter Forseberg were wrecking shop!


Actually even later. After the USMC and living in the SE my entire life, I randomly moved out to Colorado to try something different. Always had liked playoff hockey, but never had a team to root for or had some obsession about it.

When the Avs made the playoffs for the first time in a hot minute in 2018, I went to Games 3/4. Instantly hooked. Signed up for season tickets while going to school at CSU (despite definitely not being able to afford them :lol:), had them until getting married and having kids. Have been absolutely obsessed with hockey since at all levels. Have season tickets for the FPHL team here in Baton Rouge.

Not like any of that really matters, but I would venture to say that if you don’t know Landeskog and that he’s out for the Avalanche (and what that means for us) - you’re more likely the casual fan I used to be. And that’s okay!

Coming in here pumping out your chest based on where you live (or how long you’ve “watched” hockey/your team) is stupid.

I can say without a doubt that I’ve been to more SCF games for my team than you in the timeframe I’ve been a fan, and I’m pretty content with that. :cheers:

I understand your MO is to be a douche, and that’s okay.

Avalanche are down the Captain, do-it-all Lehkonen, Colton who bounces from the top to third line, and LOC who is ridiculously important as a bottom 6 guy. All wingers.

A bunch of AHL guys have been playing for the Avs since the break, and there are expectations that on this road trip we will be getting guys back. And yet, Avalanche were the better team last night, but that’s just how hockey goes sometimes.

Youre still looking up at us with an extra game played.

The Stars are absolutely surging while the Avs are sputtering. Not good. One of these teams is your Cup winner.


Avalanche aren’t just injured, they’re missing 4 of their top 6 wingers. Don’t even mind you look at the record with Landy in the lineup.

2 point lead for the division. Game in hand. Getting healthy.

Not worried.

Correct. LOC is close. He might play Friday; Sunday at worst.

The other three are coming BEFORE playoffs.

The Avs haven’t even been able to play with Kadri the way they want to. Just wait.

I get tacky calls and complaints, but how do refs miss a clear double minor on a high sticking 10 feet away from them against Malinski?

re: NHL 2025-2026 Thread

Biggest game of the regular season in a couple of hours. Avalanche are close to getting our wingers back (LOC seeming imminent, which is MASSIVE).

A regulation win here without further injury and just have to navigate the 4 game road trip.
