Avs 2, Blues 1 [OT]
A slick Milan Hejduk wrist shot just 48 seconds into overtime rang off the left post and eluded Ty Conklin’s glove to give the Colorado Avalanche a 2-1 overtime victory at Pepsi Center tonight. In a game that saw 60 shots in less than 61 minutes, it was pretty much the goalies and the grinders that stole the spotlight. After witnessing a few style changes in Thursday’s 3-1 [...]
Tyler Weiman and Peter Budaj
The 2009-10 Colorado Avalanche Training Camp closed yesterday (Tuesday) and I was fortunate enough to soak in a few more drills with Peter Budaj and Tyler Weiman.

Rookie Training Camp Recap
Avalanche Rookie Training Camp kicked off this morning with plenty of enthusiasm, energy and excitement between the 26 players and four goalies. Even though Rookie Camp was scheduled to run from 9:00a – 9:50a, about halfway through the 50-minute session, a number of Avalanche veterans started showing up – and we honestly had no idea why. The team’s regular Training Camp doesn’t open until [...]
