hokay. I wrote two pieces about last night's game. Here's the free one: thednvr.com/martin-necas... Here's the more in-depth, paywalled one: thednvr.com/avs-kings-ga...

I wrote a long and in-depth season preview for the Avs. Feel free to indulge if you're a sicko thednvr.com/colorado-ava...

In case anyone was curious, I checked and the government shutdown is not expected to cause any delays with newest Av Ilya Solovyov getting his visa to play in the United States. It's always a process, but the shutdown shouldn't cause additional delays.

This dude on Love is Blind who said it might get steamy in the sauna makes me want to punch him in the throat. YEAH, OBVIOUSLY DUDE. THAT ISN'T FLIRTING, IT'S A SAUNA

Housing prices are fucked. I'm having to accept I will likely never own my own place. And that sucks.

I found it amusing when Josh Manson was on the pod a couple of weeks ago and dropped the fun fact that he's never played with Landeskog in a regular season game

okay. Avs can forfeit the rest of this game. No need to risk injury for this dumb shit. Let's start the real season, thanks

Everyone shits on Nebraska but the absolute worst part of driving across the United States is consistently Iowa. It's all the same bad parts as Nebraska, but the speed limits are lower so it takes longer to leave.

You know its the paint but it looks like his jersey is also covered in blood. Like he's smiling after killing something. This is psychotic. I love it

I dont feel too bad about this year's team...

Ive been trying to resist the urge to build Avs hype but we did season prediction stuff that will come out soon and...there is Avs hype

I had a lot of observations from last night's Douboe W for the Avs. I know you are dying to read them :D thednvr.com/cale-makars-...

obviously go read my story from the day thednvr.com/avalanche-tr... But really really really scroll to the bottom and listen to the Parker Kelly interview we did. What a story, what a journey.

This isnt a complaint of any kind but I have found it interesting how many people keep me asking me when Im moving back to Colorado. Maybe never?

The Josh Manson interview in here was a delight to be part of. Very thoughful guy youtu.be/HVMHPLINE0M?...

Training Camp Day 2 Notebook is up. Stars shine, MacKinnon throws a stick (hell yeah), guys you maybe never heard of were pretty good. Another fun day at the rink. thednvr.com/avalanche-tr...

Let's overreact to Day 1 of Avs camp! 🏒 Gabe Landeskog rules 🏒 Brent Burns, too 🏒 Zakhar Bardakov we see you 👀 ✍️: @ajhaefele.bsky.social 🔗: thednvr.com/avalanche-tr...

Day 1 of training camp notebook is up. I'm leaning into the fun of instant overreactions. I'll be way less fun tomorrow 😀 thednvr.com/avalanche-tr...

Pretty fun being at the rink all day again. For obvious reasons I am very disconnected from Avs coverage in a way I never used to be, but it's energizing to be around this group. There's a strong belief in there and not in the "We hope it goes well" kind of way

Catch up on Avs Media Day with all the pressers here. Oh also I wrote about 8 storylines to follow during Avs camp, from Martin Necas and his contract situation to this year's Mystery Man, Zakhar Bardakov. thednvr.com/martin-necas...

Ill be honest about this: It's a personality problem. Social media has severely impacted my life in negative ways in recent years so I try to limit how much I do across platforms and this is the one getting the short end of the stick. But I'm gonna work on it <3

okay i swear im going to use BlueSky more this training camp. If you don't hear from me on any given day, yell at me

I took an early stab at the 23-man opening night roster for the Avs mostly out of excitement and impatience that the season is around the corner thednvr.com/predicting-t...

Hell yeah, good piece fella

Hell yeah, good piece fella

Is Martin Necas worth the investment for the Colorado Avalanche? ✍️: @ajhaefele.bsky.social 🔗: thednvr.com/martin-necas...

Insightful as always. I'm of the opinion you just have to get this deal finished. Even if it does look like an overpayment at the start of the deal. I expect the cap will keep going up and I think Necas is going to look like a real beauty this year.

I wrote about the Martin Necas contract situation and you definitely want to spend approximately 12 minutes reading it thednvr.com/martin-necas...

My gf has America's Next Top Model on and was like "omg a Broncos player" and it was Clinton Portis so i sat down to watch it and started giving her Champ Bailey facts. "Did you know 2/3 of the earth is covered by water and the other 1/3 was covered by Champ Bailey?" "Babe im trying to work" 😂😂

Get to know Colorado's latest signing as @ajhaefele.bsky.social looks at Victor Olofsson's circuitous path to Denver. 🏒Why it didn't work in Buffalo 🏒Why it did work in Vegas 🏒Where Olofsson fits with the Avs thednvr.com/avalanche-ad...

Its disappointing that the most successful way to be a sports content creator (the only genre I can speak to, though I'm not sure I can pull off being an e-boy) is to lean into the soulless algorithms that dictate our lives. Absolutely soulless.

hell yeah im sending a screenshot of my own tweet on bluesky

Also I wrote a piece on Kiviranta coming back to Colorado. He won me over across the season. Clear pros and cons, but he's a guy who makes a lot of positive impacts on an NHL game. thednvr.com/avalanche-re...

Girlfriend got me drunk on moonshine. Shes awesome

Gutting that all of the things women talk about when it comes to SA, from why they dont report it to the victim blaming that happens later, played out in 4K during that trial and a huge swath of people refuse to accept these are why dudes get away with this heinous bullshit. Fucking gross.

another day of me saying the American healthcare system (particularly in regards to mental health) makes everything significantly worse

I did not enjoy writing this thednvr.com/what-if-colo...

My girlfriend and I are kicking around the idea of spending a few months at a time in both Connecticut and Colorado and I said we should be in Denver for the spring because of playoffs and she said, "yeah, that one round." Fucking devastating

Josh Manson re-signed for two more years. Seems a little aggressive on the timing, but the money is such that it gives this a chance to be positive value for the Avs. thednvr.com/avalanche-re...

Kind of wild how my response to Dave Hakstol's hiring was "lol" and I was swamped under a deluge of "Most negative Avs person on this app" and people being mad at me when I didn't say much. No, I don't think it's a great decision, but also he's an assistant, so maybe it's fine? Joe Sacco Corollary

I wrote certainly what feels like it could be my last Avs piece for a whiiiiiiile if they don't do some stuff lol thednvr.com/what-work-le...
