  • Old Pod

    Show is so much better when it’s just AJ & Rudo. Keep it that way

  • Miss the old Pod

    AJ and Rudo are professionals who know this game in and out. I respect what Eric was able to do as a player in pro hockey but he adds nothing but rambles that drag on WAY too long about how the game used to be or piggybacking off Rudo or AJs opinions cause he doesn’t know the way this game functions anymore. He has some occasional good insights on personalities in the league, but otherwise cut the dude’s mic lol.

  • How is AJ still employed?

    Eric is just terrible. Rambles on and on. AJ finds every excuse to not work which is a shame cause the show would be good if it were just him and Rudo. Find a way to get AJ to do his job and get Eric off the show permanently and we’ll be in business.

  • Disappointed to hear AJ’s contempt for his own listeners

    Fell in love with hockey this year watching the new local NAHL team the Colorado Grit. Eric’s son played for them last year, I believe? Have loved the podcast and hearing everyone’s takes. Really disappointed then to hear AJ throw the entire Avalanche fanbase under the bus on DLLS. Very strange honestly! I certainly hope he will apologize.

  • Listen for nostalgia

    Started listening to this pod in 2017 and still listen to regularly, but sadly, mostly for nostalgic purposes. I’d honestly rather listen to an Adrian Dater solo pod over the current state of this show. Eric seems like a good guy but adds absolutely nothing of value in terms of analysis. Sounds like a random homer fan talking at a bar after a few beers, not the son of a brilliant hockey mind. Listening to him talk while eating on the last pod was gross and the final straw for me. Much love to Ru... more

Q: How does Parker Kelly's breakout influence decisions on contracts for fourth-line players?

The Success (and failures) of the Colorado Avalanche depth | DNVR Avalanche Podcast
