Cale Makar was pronounced out for the rest of the road trip, at least, for the Avalanche.

I watched the Avalanche 2022 Stanley Cup film and while I enjoyed it, there was definitely room for improvement.

As far as actual hockey games, well, it didn’t go very well for the Avalanche on Thursday night in a rematch with Tampa Bay.

It was a subpar game in a lot of areas, but special teams let the Avalanche down big time.

Around the NHL

In a big NHL trade, Vladimir Tarasenko was dealt to the New York Rangers and the return seems…underwhelming to me?

Pittsburgh: Rickard Rakell could have gone to unrestricted free agency. Instead, he stuck with the Penguins. Does he regret it?

Boston: With two Eastern Conference teams having made big trades already, when will the Bruins join in?

San Jose: Erik Karlsson has gone back to looking like himself this season.

New York Islanders: Anthony Beauvillier got revenge on his former team.
