In my latest for Mile High Sticking I took a look at an incredible stat that shows why the Avalanche may be even better than you think. #GoAvsGo

The stat that best proves why the Colorado Avalanche are a Stanley Cup favorite
What happens when you lead the National Hockey League in goals scored and fewest goals allowed? Utter dominance.

And now I turn to a Polka movie featuring Jack Black apparently doing a Polish accent to cheer me up.

That is a sentence no one has ever written, I’m sure.
Last night’s movie game winner was good, but was also a profound bummer. Tonight I’m hoping a comedy about music will be somewhat lighter.

Nuggets win - Great World of Sound

Nuggets lose - The Polka King

These nuggets are so damn frustrating sometimes.

It’s like they suddenly decided to only attempt 3s

What are you even doing.

Do not give excuses. You were up 17 early. That’s when you drop the hammer and never let them close.

My guys look like they are about to set the soft folk scene on hot fire.

Music recs for *last week

* the holiday distracted me and I neglected my usual post

THE NONE - MATTER AND CARE. London Noise punks

Blanco Tranco - The Imagined Life. Melancholic surf from Melbourne

ShitKid - The Essential vol. 1.. punchy lo-fi pop from Stockholm

Oh my god!

This game was ridiculous.

Defense tired as hell, getting shredded and you get chance after chance. It comes down to that.

Insanity.

The Denver Broncos are 10-2. #BroncosCountry

Hell yeah Broncos! Defense gets a second chance to close this out. LFG! #BroncosCountry

Gah. Momofuku went and changed every element of their product and made it worse in all aspects.

I’m maybe unreasonably upset but their sweet and spicy noodles went from being maybe my favorite lunch to being something I don’t even like.

RJ score!! Back up!! #BroncodCountry

I was like what the hell is this name. And then realized it was from an I Think You Should Leave bit.

Site 1 continues to crush it. Great juicy IPA.

Big time BO! #BroncosCountry

Broncos going for their 10th win tonight! Need a quick theme for the movie game because I’m running behind.

It’s a battle of two foreign films. One a Palme d’ Or winner and the other almost won a Fangoria Chainsaw

Broncos win - Rosetta

Broncos lose - Veronica

I mentioned last week how we needed a big cat performance this year - finally found one in Caught Stealing.
Saturday segababa double. It went bad yesterday but I have faith in my Avs and Nuggs to get some bounce back wins.

Haven’t seen enough of the crime genre in 2025 releases so I’m fixing that.

2 wins - Caught Stealing

1 win - She Rides Shotgun

0 wins - Sovereign

Nuggets win and finish of the bounce back twofer on the day.

Sure, I was bummed out yesterday but part of why I believe in both these teams is seeing the way they respond to disappointments with team effort. #MileHighBasketball

RIP to Daniel Woodrell.

I haven’t read everything he wrote, but everything I have read ; Winter’s Bone, The Outlaw Album and The Death of Sweet Mister left an impression.

One of the most unique voices in American fiction.

I just added Tomato Red to my Christmas list.

Colorado crushes Montreal 7-2. The win streak might have ended yesterday , but if my rough math is right I think that’s 16 games in a row with points for the Avalanche. That’s hot enough to melt the ice.

Wheeeee! This time it’s Nate assisting Gabe for the PPG and Marty gets his third point of the afternoon. 7-2 #GoAvsGo
November 29, 2025 at 10:22 PM
Aww. Montreal cashes in on the PP. score is now 6-2
November 29, 2025 at 10:15 PM
Devon at last! This team is so fun. Colorado leads 6-1. It’s a beatdown at Ball. #GoAvsGo
November 29, 2025 at 10:14 PM
More crazy Colorado Avs hockey in the second. Nelson is off hat trick watch momentarily as they gave a goal back to Landy in a wild plot twist. Brock then immediately goes back on hat trick watch - oh and Burnsy bombsy and a vintage Gabe to Nate goal?!! Avs up 5-1 after 2 #GoAvsGo
November 29, 2025 at 9:54 PM
That’s a solid first on no rest. Of course you love Nelson scoring twice , but that momentum was started by Blackwood being awesome. #GoAvsGo
November 29, 2025 at 8:52 PM
The goal stands and the Avalanche lead by a pair. Nelly is on hat trick watch officially as Colorado goes on the powerplay #GoAvsGo
November 29, 2025 at 8:38 PM
Nelly scores another as Gabe is sent careening into the net. The Habs are unhappy but they count it.

Challenge incoming. #GoAvsGo
November 29, 2025 at 8:35 PM
Blackwood is on it today.
November 29, 2025 at 8:27 PM
💯 Nelson! Avalanche up early! #GoAvsGo
