Locked On Avalanche - Daily Podcast On The Colorado Avalanche Locked On Podcast Network

Colorado Avalanche Captain Gabriel Landeskog and GM Chris MacFarland met the media Thursday morning to discuss a number of things involving the team, with getting the biggest concern out of the way right off the bat. Gabe Landeskog is not retiring.

His plan is to play next year. Exactly when still remains a mystery however. What also is a mystery is what the Avalanche will do with Val Nichushkin. Right now there doesn't seem like there is much they can do, with MacFarland going as far as to say it is "plausible" that he returns to the team when his suspension is over.

A lot was covered in the 45 minute press conference and we discuss it all!

It was announced that Colorado Avalanche GM Chris MacFarland will meet the media for the first time since the Avs season ended. Which is customary for front office members. However, it was also announced that Gabriel Landeskog will also take part in the press conference. Is that a cause for concern?

We also begin our season grades and like usual start alphabetically with Andrew Cogliano!

Alexandar Georgiev turned things around pretty quickly in the playoffs and not a moment too soon. He had a year filled with ups and downs, but did ending the year on the up swing save his career with the Avalanche?

We also dive into listener questions on if there would be a team out there that would be willing to take on the risk and contract of Val Nichushkin, who would be next in line for the Avalanche captain C, and what color lightsaber do we prefer?

We are a few days removed from the Colorado Avalanche season coming to an end by the hands of the Dallas Stars. Have we come to terms with that yet, or do we feel like this years Avs team went as far as expected? Maybe the bigger question is, was this season a failure? For a team that has championship aspirations every year, you could say it was.

So what does the offseason bring for the Avs? That is the million dollar question. It will no doubt be one of the more interesting ones for the team. And in the center of it all will be the Val Nichushkin situation.

And what about the roster as a whole? We use the Cap Friends Roster Builder to construct an Avs roster with only currently signed players and their lone RFA, Casey Mittelstadt. What do we get? A lot of young guns needing to take the next step. Can it work??

The Colorado Avalanche had their chances, but couldn't break through against the Dallas Stars, who an old nemesis in Matt Duchene found the back of the net to end the series in six games.

The Avs seemed to find their game over the past two games, but it was too little too late as they needed so many things to go right for them for three consecutive games against a very strong Stars team.

So the question is what happens now? There are many questions around this Avalanche team heading into the off-season.

A lot to discuss so tune in, subscribe and enjoy!

Just about everything was going against the Colorado Avalanche. Just about nobody expected them to be able to continue their season especially when the Dallas Stars were looking to end the series on their home ice.

But this is why there is nothing like playoff hockey. The Avs come out of Dallas with a 5-3 win and now will go back to Denver for Game 6 looking to even up the series at 3.

A lot to discuss with this one! Tune in, subscribe and enjoy!
