With the monkey off their back, can this turn into positive momentum as they wait for reinforcements to arrive? Justus Annunen played very well against San Jose, is the clock ticking on Georgiev's job with Kahkonen in town as well? Does Ross Colton stay on the wing after his hot start to the season to the top line? Finally, answering your mailbag questions at last!

The Avalanche are 0-4 to start the season, and that's not good to put it mildly. But the world is not ending yet, there are several reasons to view this as a simple losing streak and nothing more. This Avs team is missing five very key players as now Drouin and Toews are missing time, and the top six for the Avs is almost entirely depleted. MacKinnon, Rantanen, and Makar are all towards the top of the league in scoring, and the Avs have a winnable schedule coming up. However, several things need to be fixed with the product on the ice before you can wave off these results. Goaltending needs to be better, and the defensive process needs to be cleaned up.

The Avalanche's 2024-25 season is underway, but a 8-4 setback to the Golden Knights in the season opener has them asking questions about their goaltending after 7 goals against on just 20 shots for both Georgiev and Annunen. How tight is the leash for Georgiev from here on, and can he bounce back similar to in the playoffs? Mikko Rantanen still doesn't have a contract as the season starts and just opened the year with a hat trick. Is that any reason to be concerned? What positives can be drawn from the season opener ahead of the home opener against Columbus?

The Avalanche's roster is finalized ahead of the regular season opener, with some major salary cap shenanigans already taking place. Ivan-Ivan and Kovalenko have seemingly been sent down and not on the roster, but it's actually a smoke screen purely for salary cap reasons, so no reason to panic. They will play. With Lehkonen seemingly not coming back before the end of October, the new kids will have to hold their own in these roles for longer than expected. Also, finishing our season predictions with the Pacific and Central division, and our Stanley Cup predictions for the year!

The Avalanche are the busiest team in the NHL as the regular season approaches, trading Erik Brannstrom to the Vancouver Canucks after claiming John Ludvig from the Penguins as the defense continues to shift everyday. Is this really a good move for the Avs to send out Brannstrom, or would there be no role for him with the emergence of Malinski? Also with Kovalenko, Ritchie, and Ivan Ivan making the team, what are some reasonable expectations for them? Second half of the show is all about season predictions, and today going through both of the Atlantic and Metropolitan and giving our predictions for 1st to 8th for the upcoming season

Logan O'Connor is going nowhere! LOC has signed a six year extension to remain an Av for the foreseeable future at $2.5M a season, which is more than reasonable. We'll list all the reasons why this deal and LOC himself kick ass, and how the third line is shaping up for the future. How far behind could a Mikko Rantanen extension be? Also, training camp is underway, and the Avs are prepping for their first preseason game. What are the most important storylines as the season begins? Finally, is the NHL over-expanding?
