News Article: Colorado Avalanche Media Coverage Part VI

Not sure of the credibility/reliability.

“From a private source, I have been able to confirm the Avalanche Reverse Retro jerseys for next season will be based of the Colorado Rockies.
The Rockies played in Denver from 1976-1982 before being relocated to New Jersey and becoming the Devils.
The jersey will have a white base and use all of the colors from the Colorado flag.”

I'd buy one of these. Didn't know the team could get the rights to them considering its not really their franchise.

I'd pass on replicas of the first few years of Avs jerseys, plenty of options there already to get. Same thought with the reverse retro Nordiques design, would rather buy a real Nords jersey. This one though feels right to be rolled out if the Devils franchise and NHL work out a deal to allow them. As much as one could buy a Lanny jersey, just doesn't feel right when the man is much more known for his contributions to another franchise.

Why is it white again?

No, you gotta go for Wilf Paiement.

God there is such a dearth of imaginative local coverage on the Avs. I still subscribe to Colorado Hockey Now out of some misplaced loyalty, and i guess bad takes are better than none at all (hello, national media). But Terry Frei’s piece this morning could have been written by a bot. This one is better from Aarif Deen.

I know no one wants an update from Hockeybuzz podcast, but it’s genuinely funny to me. Their theme was how many players from each team would be worth the #10 overall pick in a draft. Here are the Avalanche which received unanimous no’s:

Devon Toews
Nazem Kadri
Bowen Byram
Alex Newhook
Sam Girard
Valeri Nichuskin
Andre Burakovsky

The last 2-3 names are certainly arguable. The concept was for contract status not to be included. I coulda just listed the top 4 as it makes plain what we’re up against with east coast perception.

I feel like you brought this upon yourself (again).

God I loved getting the Rocky Mountain News sports page as a kid. It was so much better than the Denver Post’s because of Rick Sadowski. He was our blogger on Hockeybuzz for a bit.

comparing the great coverage then to this team having 0 legitimate beat reporters and a 3 year tv blackout now

what the hell happened

 

[willy702]

That's pretty funny Dater admitting he's not a good human.

 

[Avs91]

Evoca brings live TV, including Altitude Sports, to Denver

And there it is

 

[Hennessy]

Oof. That's rough.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

So $30 a month for Altitude? Ha Ha. Yeah, I'll continue to watch via kitten until they agree with Comcast

Comcast/Dish don't need to be so greedy, but yeah, Altitude thinking they're worth that much on the consumer market isn't going to get them a contract for a long time to the cable retailers.

It’s somehow cheaper to buy a VPN sub and sub to the Disney+ bundle than it is to just get Altitude. And you get a VPN and Disney+ and Hulu and access to other sports by going that route.

Doesn’t work with VPN

 

[SirLoinOfCloth]

Incorrect. It's fiddly and requires a specific VPN at least from my experience, but it definitely does work as I've been doing it since the season began.

 

[Papa Francouz]

Doesn’t work with VPN

It’s been working for me all season and I’m in the Denver ‘burbs

Just caught up watching the last couple games.

Did they cut off the last couple minutes of the first Stars game live on ESPN? Because that's how the replay was. Had to switch to the Stars broadcast to finish the game.

So far ESPN has been a clear downgrade from NHL.tv IMO. They've shown less games because of TNT and the NHL Network getting exclusive access, they cut out portions of the intermission reports, they come back late from commercial sometimes, and they don't show the pre games, and rarely show the post games like NHL.tv did.

 

[Foppa2118]

Hell yes Peter!

 

[El Travo]

Hell yes Peter!

I just saw this, that's amazing news!

 

[AllAboutAvs]

Hell yes Peter!

Fantastic news!!!!
Stay healthy Pete.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Gonna be an emotional night on the broadcast for sure.

 

[Avsboy]

Fantastic news!
