05-01-25 - Game 7 Western Showdown in Dallas - Game 6

Raj and Spring breakdown what this Game 6 win means for the Avs!!! Are any legacies on the line or is this just another Game 7 between two great teams!  Early returns say the Avs are favorites in Game 7! The fellas discuss why they believe the oddsmakers think the Avs have a slight chance as road favorites to pull this out  Jared Bednar vs Peter DeBoer is the ultimate chess match but will DeBeor stop complaining long enough to coach! Raj and Spring explain why they're fed up with his crap!  Is Jared Bednar coaching for his job on Saturday? A lot is riding on this season and Spring highlights the severity of being bounced in the 1st Round!

04-28-25 - A must win Game 6 is loading - Game 5

Raj and Spring were beyond frustrated with the Avs lack of urgency on multiple fronts. First off, the game started with the goal that started this meltdown. Secondly, the big dogs didn't step up to the plate. Last but not least, is Jared Bednar coaching for his job? Raj believes JB is a Top 5 Coach in the NHL but the question of "is this the end of the road" needs to be asked!!  Where is Cale Makar? The fellas breakdown why some top stars need to step up sooner rather than later. Raj and Spring take calls and answer some of the listeners questions.  The guys give their final remarks and get you set for the all encompassing Game 6. The Avs season is on the line but how much faith do the guys have that this series is going to 7?

04-26-25 - Gabe scores; Complete team win - Game 4

Raj and Spring discuss how the Avs came out with a different energy and life in Game 4! Did the changes spark the team or wake up the dog in the Avs! Gabe was the man with the plan tonight and boy did he deliver!  The fellas discuss why this team is no longer under the Gabe boost mantra, the Avs ready to roll. Is Gabe's current role and productions sutainable? Raj and Spring breakdown how that question will determine how far the Avs will go, not should go. Raj also believes the rest of the sports and hockey world are rooting for the Avs due to gabe's story.  They close with what the Avs can do to continue to turn the corner heading into Game 5. They also go around the NHL and bring you up to date with what's going on in other series.

04-23-25 - Gabe's return was ruined - Game 3

Raj and Spring go off on the Avs for not capitalizing on the many power play opportunities they had. Raj calls out Coach Bednar and his staff for not putting LAndy and Val on PP1.  Cale Makar is stuck in neutral right now and the guys are worried. They go through why he's stuck and why the D-men need to step up and help out offensively.  As they take a look at Game 4, it's win or bust territory for the Avs. Do we trust this team is ready to step up and help Gabe get his first win in three years?  Between the Pipes leaves you with one message: Saturday will make or break the Avs season.
