Colorado Avalanche
Avalanche lineup vs. Dallas tonight, preseason Game No. 2

Back from the morning skate at the Pepsi Center, where the Colorado Avalanche will host the kinda-sorta Dallas Stars tonight (7 p.m.). Altitude TV will have the broadcast, but no deal yet between them and the Big 3 cable companies. I keep hearing that Altitude is exploring a “variety of options” at getting their product distributed to a wide audience. Could it be Amazon, or YouTube or Hulu or some other outlet? Yeah, could be I imagine.
But as for now, you still can’t see the product unless you live outside Denver and/or have a different cable company.
So, the lineup for tonight is posted above. Obviously, a little more firepower in the Avs lineup than the one from Tuesday night, eh?
NOTEBOOK
- Obviously, a fun part of this game will be seeing Nazem Kadri in action for the first time in an Avs sweater.
- One other interesting thing: Martin Kaut will be in the lineup and Tyson Jost won’t. Jost was/is supposed to be the left wing on a line with Kadri to start the season. Is this more of an audition for a guy like Kaut to see what he can do? Or, what about Val Nichushkin? Jared Bednar doesn’t do media meet-ups at morning skates in the preseason, just after games.
- I doubt it’s anything that consequential. Just food for thought.
- I’ll have a feature later on Philipp Grubauer, and his outlook going into a season where he’s the No. 1 guy for the first time in his career.
- Gabe Landeskog was at a Barnes and Noble last night, stocking up on new books. He’s a big reader. He just finished “Shoe Dog”, the story of Nike.
- Site news: First podcast should be up tomorrow late afternoon, early evening. Me and Jesse Montano talking Avs on “Can’t Hear What Jeremy Says”.
- We’re at 108% of our subscription sales goal for one year – after three months. Thanks and keep spreading the gospel.
Can’t wait for the podcast to start. Will there ever be a Colorado Hockey Now app version?
Any word on where Timmins is/why he’s not playing tonight?
He’s fine
Looking forward to seeing the Avs 1st PP unit in action. Should be good. 🙂
Adrian, first congrats on achieving your subscriptions goal. I’m glad you decided to get your own site to publish your articles. I was wondering if you are intending to simplify the logging process of your site. If you ever need help with this, let me know. Also, a contact page to send you private messages would be great.
Regards,
Charles
I occasionally hear about log-in issues. I’m always told by my tech guy that it’s rare, and that people who experience this often haven’t clicked the “remember me” box. Let me know if you still have issues….i can always be reached at adater@comcast.net
