Fans with a deep passion for the game of hockey and, in this case, the Colorado Avalanche! Email us: captainavalanchepod1@gmail.com

SPORTS. IS. PAIN. Pain is all we know, pain is all we will continue to know, we deserve pain, we will know pain, we must have pain. Being a sports fan is one of the worst punishments you can put on yourself as a human being. The highs are the absolute highest and the lows can truly not be lower. Stubbed your toe? Not as painful as being a sports fan. A family member ate the last donut? Not as painful. Wife left you? Not as painful....
Have you ever wanted to watch the fastest sport on two legs but have had no idea where to start or had the game of hockey gatekept by weird fans? Well the Captain Avalanche Fancast is here to help! We will teach you; Whatis the goal of hockey, Who’s on the ice, Who’s off the ice, An explanation of penalties, Terms You Might Hear Thrown Around, What The Hell Is Offsides (and Icing), and finally differentiate betwee...
Were the Colorado Avalanche good enough to beat the Dallas Stars in both games? Should the Avalanche have beaten the Penguins at all? Are the Sharks ever going to win in regulation? The Avalanche play Philadelphia next. Are they in danger of helping continue Philly’s new found winning streak, putting them right back on track? Speaking of, a quick look back on our preseason predictions and just how correct they are right now. ...
Do you like offense? Yes? Great, we have that in historic numbers! Do you like power play offense? Yeah? Well forget you that is a non functional factor! Goaltending seems to be the question on every team's mind as history and tragedy keep occurring on a daily basis. Today we bring back the good, the bad, and the Avalanche and break down this last week's worth of games. Captain Macklin made his return but did it make a difference? ...
That’s right, for the first time in NHL HISTORY the Avalanche are undefeated in the month of September, the Sharks are also 2-0-0 (after almost being the exact opposite a couple of times). The Avalanche have already scored 14 goals in their first two games. The Sharks have more than just Celebrini scoring. Mackenzie Blackwood is an excellent goaltender and I will continue to not accept any slander on his name. Yaroslav Askaro...
We're back for Season 3! We, once again, have preseason divisional rankings and Dom ranked Chicago how high? The Utah Mammoth are a top three team in the Central, maybe even a top three team in the West! No one will win the Atlantic Division. Are we actually even watching hockey anymore? It’s your turn to decide. We’re back with less time than ever but that isn’t going to stop us from bringing you hockey from a fa...
Anyone can be a breakout candidate! Because sports are the most unpredictable event on the planet. But it isn't going to stop our intrepid hosts from endeavoring to give their best guesses on who they think will breakout for the Avalanche and Sharks in the 2026-27 season!

As we may have mentioned before, there were a lot of games played last season. But some stuck out in our minds more than others. All for the better in this case. There are no blown leads here, only epic comebacks and utter dominations.

Shockingly, there are 30 other teams in the NHL and today we made it our mission to select our favorite player from each one, even if we hate the team itself. Of course we snuck in our favorite Avs and Sharks player(s). Do we bend and break the rules? Maybe... possibly... but they are our rules to bend and break. Who are your favorite players?

Who's most likely to still believe in the tooth fairy? Be a tree in Robinhood? Win a team wide game of hide and seek? If you thought this would be anything like your high school yearbook superlatives. You are very wrong.

We all have those NHL teams that we just despise, loathe, hate. They are the ultimate enemies in our minds, but eventually all wounds heal with time. Or perhaps one enemy is simply replaced by another. Today we talk about some of the teams we used to hate but maybe not so much anymore.

A brand new bit of summer hockey content to satiate the craving. CAF Minicasts are bite sized pieces of thoughts, analysis and fun segments! Dude, where's Makar? Get it? We ponder this question as well as reflecting on the second season of this podcast as well as ponder a few more. What does the Leo Carlsson contract mean for the rest of the league? Is he even worth the money? Who did the Avalanche try and trade for? All the answer...
And just like how it usually goes, we record an episode or some content and a major piece of breaking news comes out. Well, we couldn't just let this one sit. Captain Avalanche Cory and Dom from the Tank breakdown Macklin Celebrini's record setting contract, if it's actually a discount, and what it mean's for the rest of the Sharks. All this from a fan perspective during our brand new CAF Minicasts!

Turns out we DID need an episode last week. So if you missed that go back and check out all the action that happened BEFORE the draft. Because this week we're talking about everything that happened during and after. (And actually a little more before too because timing). Right after last week the Avalanche made their final cap shedding move and then signed some critical defensive extensions. Then the draft finally arrived and let&r...
First round picks are being moved on an hourly basis it seems. Some even more than once. Every other trade is a blockbuster. Franchises are being permanently altered and Captains are being traded and it feels like this is just the tip of the iceburg. All this before a draft with franchise altering players begins this friday.

And just like that the 2025-26 NHL Season has come to an end, a new Stanley Cup Champion has been crowned and while their celebration has just begun, the journey begins anew for 31 other clubs who will now restart their chase for the hardest trophy to win in sports. Today we’ll discuss Carolina’s dominance all the way through to their 34.5lb silver lift. Look at the winner and ultimate bragging rights holder of our brac...
There is a lot going on in the hockey world this week! So much so that despite trying to keep track of it all I likely still won’t remember it all! We dive head first into what has turned out to be one of the most exciting Stanley Cup Finals in recent memory. A former Av is trying to make their NHL comeback. Speaking of, what should the Avalanche do or what are they going to do this offseason? Captain Gabe Landeskog’s p...
Exactly as the title suggests we have prepared as thoroughly as is possible for what went wrong for the Colorado Avalanche against the Vegas Golden Knights in the Western Conference Final and why. Not every question will have an answer but we'll endeavor to find it. We also wrap up our discussion on the IIHF World Championship as well as share some other exciting announcements. All this and more on this weeks episode of the Captain...
The journey for the Colorado Avalanche is over. The quest for the cup has once again been cut short. It is truly the hardest day as a sports fan to watch your team fall. But ultimately only one can come out on top. Today we will not analyze what, how or why as we will do so next week. But instead give you our kneejerk reactions and predictions on what's to come. But the playoffs are still happening and there is still and ECF to cov...

DISGRACELAND is an award-winning music and true crime podcast about musicians getting away with murder and behaving very badly. Jerry Lee Lewis's 5th wife? Dead. Sid and Nancy? Both dead. Why? Because musicians are insane, and insane things happen to them. Why did we lose Amy Winehouse at 27? Was Debbie Harry really abducted by Ted Bundy as she claims? Is Patti Smith not just the "Godmother of Punk", but also the "Original True Crime Girl"? What really happened the night of the Jay Z nightclub stabbing? What do the Diddy indictments truly reveal? All these stories and more, on artists from every genre and their true crimes, in our massive 260-plus story archive. The Dead, the Stones, Johnny, Willie, Frank, Kurt, Courtney, Gaga, Lana, Taylor, and too many to name. DISGRACELAND is music history come to life through audio storytelling as you've never heard it before, with revealing facts: yes, assassins are the real reason the Beatles quit touring—reclaimed myths: no, Mama Cass didn't die from choking on a ham sandwich––and constant reckoning between art and artist––all told through the lens of true crime. This is the podcast for the self-proclaimed "Disgos", the musically obsessed and the true crime heads; the outsiders, the independent thinkers who know that the best history is the history that gets buried. DISGRACELAND is where host Jake Brennan tells the stories they didn't want told. The kind you'll end up telling someone else. Get ready to uncover hidden truths and buckle up for truly edge-of-your-seat storytelling. New, fully scripted, sound-designed episodes are released every Tuesday. Bonus chat-style episodes where Jake responds to voicemails, texts, and emails from Disgos hit on Thursdays, and "Rewind" episodes from our archive drop on Sundays. DISGRACELAND is not a journalistic podcast. It's an entertainment podcast inspired by true events. Certain dialogue and scenes are dramatized, as is common in scripted entertainment based on real stories. Sources and credits for each episode are available at www.disgracelandpod.com.
