On todays episode of Locked on Avalanche, I start with taking a look back at the weekend the Avalanche had against the Los Angeles Kings. Colorado was able to take both games vs LA but it was more of the same that we have been seeing. The Avs with 40+ shots of goal and just winning by the skin of their teeth. Is this a trend the Avs can break? Does this have more to do with the Avalanche and their shot selection or are the goalies they are going up against just having the game of their careers?
In the second segment, I continue to praise our goalie, Philipp Grubauer. We all heard the talk at the beginning of the season and how the one thing that would prevent the Avs from lifting the Cup, it was going to be their goalie play. Nobody had faith in Philipp Grubauer to be their A1 goalie or to stay healthy. He has proven both aspects wrong so far and is a leading Vezina Trophy candidate.
Finally, the NHL made waves in announcing they have signed a seven year deal with ESPN to televise the league. Many people are happy about this, I'm on the other side of the fence. Sure, this deal is good to spread the game and get more viewers, but at the cost of being under the ESPN umbrella that can sometimes blur the line between sports journalism and TMZ. Your viewing experience is about to change.
