The Colorado Eagles have started their season at a disappointing 0­–3–1, but fans should not fret too much about the slow start. Despite the losses, Eagles Country has a lot to be optimistic about.

Now that the world is opening up again and, thanks to last year’s taxi squad, Avalanche fans are a bit more aware of what is going on here in the Northern Colorado hockey world, you might be thinking about […]

I have recently seen a lot of people mocking the Colorado Eagles for running an ECHL lineup. I should probably just ignore them, but these are the very people who many Colorado Avalanche fans consider to be […]

This is going to be short and sweet, largely because I have written about Martin Kaut so many times in the past, including here and here. As a first-round draft pick, selected No. 16 overall, expectations have […]

After a rough start, the Colorado Eagles are now at 6–6–2–0. I thought it was time for a quick season recap and a discussion of some of the highlights (and lowlights) of the season so far.
Breakdown by serie […]

The Colorado Eagles are now six games into their new season, and have a record of 2–3–1–0. I thought this would be a good time to discuss what is surprising so far, what is not surprising and to talk about the e […]

The Colorado Eagles’ season has finally begun! And while the Eagles lost both games this weekend against the San Diego Gulls, these are the kinds of losses that give a fan hope.

How? Let me explain. But f […]

The season is finally upon us!
I said three weeks ago I was going to write a season preview for the Colorado Eagles. At that point in time, the Eagles were expected to kick off their season on Feb. 5. Then, the […]

After being down 1-3 in their series against the Stars, the Avalanche did the miraculous — they came back and forced a game seven. And they did it with their third string goalie and without lineup staples M […]

Welcome back for the conclusions of my ongoing series where we take a look at what next season’s roster might look like. In part 1, I talked about the returning players. In part 2, I covered free agents. Today, I […]

In part of one of my series previewing the Eagles’ 2020–21 roster, I covered the players who we know will be back in the Avalanche/Eagles/Grizzlies pipeline based on contracts already in place. Today, I’m going […]

All eyes are on the NHL playoffs right now, but for me, the Colorado Eagles always come first. I thought this would be a good time to do a run-down of the team — who’s staying, who’s going, who’s new, and which p […]

The 2020 playoffs are finally here, so I asked five other writers from The-Rink to tell me who they thought would walk away with victories in the qualifying round.

Here are our picks:

New York Rangers vs […]

Since the hockey world is on hold, I thought I would spend an article (or two, or three—we will see how ambitious I am next week) discussing some myths I see in regard to the AHL and the Colorado Eagles and t […]

The Colorado Eagles hosted the Ontario Reign this weekend for back-to-back matchups on Friday and Saturday night, then faced the Texas Stars on Tuesday and Wednesday.

The Eagles won both games against […]

The last time the Colorado Eagles faced the Milwaukee Admirals was in October, only two weeks into the season, and before anybody knew what kind of year the Admirals were going to have. Now, more than four months […]

Two days ago, Hockey News published an article written by Steven Ellis titled AHL Contenders: Breaking Down the Top Six Hopefuls for the Calder Cup. The first team on his list, the Milwaukee Admirals, was no […]

Will the AHL divisions be realigned in the coming seasons? I have no idea. Let me just say right up front this is nothing but speculation. But this speculation is based on certain facts, so let’s start with t […]

Once upon a time, the Eagles were known for making spectacular, last-minute comebacks.

In 2016-17 and 2017-18 — the seasons the Eagles won back-to-back Kelly Cup Championships — comebacks were the norm. Col […]

With Nazem Kadri being hurt, there’s a lot of speculation about who could be called up. Everybody wants it to be Martin Kaut or Shane Bowers. And if the Avalanche suddenly needed a defenseman, it’s a sure bet eve […]
