It kind of comes with the territory, but when you are winning, other people don't like you. Evander Kane apparently doesn't either since it was reported he called the Colorado Avalanche "arrogant". It got us thinking, do other hockey fans dislike the Avalanche, and if they do, why? Is it because of certain players on the team? If so, which ones? Or is it just because they have been a winning team over the past several years. Winning brings hatred from others. Are the Avs there yet?

We also discuss the news that new training / practice facilities could be on the way for the Avalanche and Denver Nuggets, which is long overdue. The Avalanche are severely lacking behind other franchises, so getting these built and ready to use ASAP is pretty important. We talk about why.

Finally, our player preview today is for Ryan Johansen!
