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.

This Friday, the Avalanche didn't just get Val Nichushkin back, but Jonathan Drouin and Miles Wood as well. The top six is now back together and a completely healthy Avalanche roster is closer now more than ever and hopefully an Avalanche of success along with it.

P.S.

We're all just gonna collectively forget Friday's game against the Capitals happened and gear up for next Monday. Disregard Cory's foolish optimism.

Artturi Lehkonen has returned and it was as glorious as everyone expected. With every player returned the Avalanche grow stronger and the goaltending looks... a little better! Positives are to be found even in loses Avs faithful. Just keep looking forward.

The Avalanche are injured, there's no ifs ands or buts about it. But there is hope on the horizon and his name is Artturi Lehkonen. Survive two more weeks Avs Faithful and 4 of the missing top 6 forwards will likely return. Oh also the Sharks won not one, but two games! It's Halloween at the Captain Avalanche Fancast and things are looking spooky.
