Dater’s Daily: Avalanche Players Getting Out In Finland; Flames Choke to Kraken

It seems like forever since I have been at the rink. October 21st was the last time I was at the rink for any hockey-related event. I swear it is like an addiction, so I will be heading up to Loveland on Thursday to report on the Colorado Eagles. The Avalanche still have two more days until they play in Finland for two games and then they will be back home against Nashville on the 10th. Avalanche players seem to be getting out and about in Finland, as seen below. Also, let’s take a look at the rest of the league, The Kraken put out some Flames last night and much more!

As mentioned, Avalanche players aren’t just sitting in their hotel:
