Matt Duchene

I hate giving an “incomplete” copout grade here, but I can’t in good conscience put a label on Matt Duchene’s 2011-12 season. I may have just formed this rule on the spot, but I’d say my informal rule on giving a guy a g...

I bumped into Joe Sacco at the Pepsi Center this morning, on my way to serve as Los Angeles Lakers beat writer for the Post this weekend. Despite having a roomful of Larry Bird and Celtics memorabilia in my place, I will cover the Lakers like I cover...

Hello Avs fans, my name is JibbleScribbits, and I’m a pretty die-hard Avs fan who will be writing the occasional blog post here on All Things Avs. I have written about the Avs for 4-5 years on my own site, the self-titled Jibblescribbits.com. Y...

I’ve said myself, and heard it a lot from other media types, fans, management people, everyone: that year went fast. Like, really fast. The 2011-12 season just seemed to have this big fast-forward-machine part to it, and here we are. It’s...

Entering Saturday night’s contest at the Pepsi Center (a.k.a. “the Can”) both the Penguins and the Colorado Avalanche were on a bit of a roll. While Colorado had posted an impressive 7-3-2 mark in their previous 12 games, the piping-hot Pens ha...

Here is some video yours truly shot today of Matt Duchene at the Avs’ practice facility. Keep in mind, I ain’t no Martin Scorsese, but what do you want from me. I have a brief story on how he looked up on the Post’s main site, but w...

Now THAT was a performance to warrant writing something very positive about tonight. I haven’t seen an Avalanche player put on a show like that in a third period – in all phases of the game – like Ryan O’Reilly did tonight in...

Joe Sacco made the boys huff and puff at practice today, putting them through a 90-minute session – about eight of which included the dreaded “bag skate.” Above are a couple minutes of it. Sacco yelled at the boys a couple of times...
