Listen to “Excitement in Vegas” on Spreaker.
All-Star weekend in Vegas is upon us. Aarif and J.J. discuss the buzz around the event which seems a little more than years past. They break down Nazem Kadri and Cale Makar’s participation in Friday’s skills competition and the event as a whole. The guys also start the show with a recap of the shootout loss to Arizona heading into the break and why the team has been yearning for this time off. The show ends with a rewind to the 2001 All-Star Game in Denver and the nostalgia around that event. All that and more on this edition of Hockey Mountain High: Your go-to Avalanche Podcast.
Produced by Patrick Stedman.
