Between the Pipes is Avalanche postgame analysis with the clock still warm. The show catches Colorado games as they become arguments: a shutout, a shootout win, a late-season loss, a clinch, an injury scare, or a playoff matchup that suddenly looks obvious. It does not linger on games that no longer matter. It says so, then moves to the consequences. Seeding, rest, matchups, goaltending, and injury risk matter more than polite recap once the Avalanche have already banked a dominant regular season. That gives the show its edge. A franchise-record points season becomes less a celebration than a launchpad for Los Angeles Kings talk. Nathan McKinnon’s goal total sits beside Marty Natchez reaching 100 points, Kale McCarr returning, and Parker Kelly looking like a playoff factor. The show likes firm opinions. It also likes working toward them out loud. One stretch may sort through the entire NHL playoff field, while another stays on a single leaky goal, a goalie’s confidence, or whether Colorado should rest stars before the postseason. The Avalanche are treated as a serious contender, not a mystery. Opponents are measured by whether they can actually threaten them. The local frame is strong, with Altitude broadcasts, Brooklyn’s appearances, and Denver sports overlaps forming part of the texture. Nuggets talk can enter when the night demands it, especially during live double-feature energy with tight basketball and hockey games happening together. The show is loose enough for headset trouble, broadcast logistics, and locker-room color to become part of the rhythm. It is also detailed enough to care about five-on-five possession, power-play movement, goalie deployment, and playoff bracket paths. Between the Pipes works best for Avalanche fans who do not need introductions and do not want neutral distance. It offers the immediate aftershock: quick reads, strong disagreements, local familiarity, and the feeling that the postseason conversation has already started.
Made for: Built for Colorado Avalanche fans who follow the standings, know the roster, and want immediate postgame argument instead of neutral recap. It also suits Denver sports listeners who like local broadcast texture around big nights.
What sets it apart: Its strength is the live-wire mix of scoreboard watching, tactical hockey detail, and blunt playoff judgment. The show treats each Avalanche result as part of a larger postseason picture, not as an isolated final score.
The broadcast for every Avalanche game goes into overtime and the team’s fans are a part of the show with the hosts of Colorado's original #GoAvsGo postgame show, Alex Rajaniemi and Mark Springer TEXT or CALL: 3035040925
