Listen to “Holding a Lead” on Spreaker.
The Avalanche blew a three-goal lead against the New Jersey Devils. Aarif and J.J. kick off the show by discussing the team’s suddenly bad habit of being unable to hold a lead. They also chat about the ending to the game against the Islanders on Monday, where Colorado held on to win 5-4 despite having a 5-1 lead in the third period. They then have a long chat about Darcy Kuemper and trust in the goaltending. The guys discuss Nathan MacKinnon’s scoring, goals from the bottom two lines and the upcoming measuring stick games against both the Carolina Hurricanes and Calgary Flames. All that and more on this edition of Hockey Mountain High: Your go-to Avalanche Podcast.
