Locked On Podcast Network — Fri, 11 Sep 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Colorado Avalanche face a shake-up in the Selke Award race—can Nick Suzuki repeat as the NHL’s best defensive forward, or will Aleksander Barkov reclaim dominance after injury? Chris Micieli and Zach Pearson break down last season’s surprising results, Brock Nelson’s two-way impact, and which Avalanche players might make a case for the league’s top defensive honors. Is Suzuki set for back-to-back wins, or will Barkov and other rising stars tighten the race?

Plus, Anaheim Ducks stir controversy after waiving Chris Kreider due to cap constraints—could he make an impact on an Eastern Conference contender? The hosts highlight Kreider’s strengths and potential landing spots, then shift gears with their “say something nice” segment focused on the Boston Bruins’ history, iconic moments from legends like Ray Bourque and Bobby Orr, and the unique bond between Bruins and Avs fans. Don’t miss this lively look at NHL awards, player moves, and storied franchises.

Locked On Podcast Network — Wed, 09 Sep 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Chris Micieli and Zach Pearson dissect the persistent snubs faced by Bednar, question the award voting dynamics, and spotlight why star-studded rosters shouldn’t disqualify highly effective coaches.

Cale Makar Is the NHL’s Highest-Paid Player, Now What? | GS OFF ICE

Guerilla Sports — Tue, 08 Sep 2026 15:08:49 GMT

Cale Makar is officially the highest-paid player in NHL history, signing an eight-year extension worth $20.4 million per season. What does the massive contract mean for the Colorado Avalanche and the rest of the NHL?

Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette joins Meghan Angley to break down Makar’s record deal, how it could impact the market for elite defensemen, and whether the Avalanche have the salary-cap flexibility to keep their championship core together.

We also look at how Colorado’s roster construction could help them manage Makar’s contract, what the Avs may have to sacrifice to stay competitive, and how recent mega-deals around the NHL have shaped the market.

Plus, we hear from Logan O’Connor on the Avalanche’s leadership, playoff mindset and what the team needs to improve moving forward.

Locked On Podcast Network — Tue, 08 Sep 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Cale Makar enters Norris Trophy season as the clear favorite, but is the Colorado Avalanche superstar truly untouchable? With rising talents like Quinn Hughes, Zach Werenski, and Rasmus Dahlin hot on his heels, the race for the NHL’s best defenseman award is tighter than ever.

Chris Micieli and Zach Pearson spotlight Norris frontrunners, debate the impact of team success on award voting, and discuss dark-horse picks like Lane Hudson and Jake Sanderson. Plus, the hosts react to the controversy surrounding EA NHL 27—has AI ruined virtual hockey’s realism? Rounding out the show, they take a nostalgic look at the Anaheim Ducks, from Mighty Ducks movie lore and jersey debates to franchise legends like Teemu Selanne and Paul Kariya.

Will Age Really Play a Factor For the Avalanche? We Say Nice Things About: Calgary Flames

Locked On Podcast Network — Thu, 03 Sep 2026 22:34:25 GMT

Colorado Avalanche face mounting questions as a new NHL season approaches. Can veterans like Brock Nelson and Nazem Kadri maintain elite production and health, or will the team’s status as the league’s third-oldest roster catch up to them over an 84-game grind? Chris Micieli and Zach Pearson debate whether age truly poses a risk, spotlighting the Avalanche’s heavy travel miles, injury concerns, and the critical role of conditioning.

Spotlights turn to the younger prospects—will Head Coach Jared Bednar give them a real shot, or will a reliance on proven vets continue? The episode also salutes former Calgary Flames for facilitating Kadri’s return to Colorado and celebrates classic NHL rivalries like the Battle of Alberta. Listener comments bring additional insights on Colorado’s depth, prospects, and potential hurdles. Can the Avalanche balance experience and youth to chase another Stanley Cup?

Locked On Podcast Network — Mon, 31 Aug 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Colorado Avalanche shake the hockey world as Cale Makar secures a record-breaking $20.4 million contract extension, igniting debate across fanbases.
