The Week(s) That Was the Avs - 3/16-End of Season

Well the season for the Avalanche is now over.  There are certainly reasons for optimism going forward for this team and I can't wait to see what they do in the offseason, however that isn't the point of this writing.  This will be the last "week that was the Avs" for the 2011-2012 season.  I realize that I got a bit away from weekly reporting as I took on more at work and became busier, but I hope those that read this enjoyed it and maybe took a thing or two away from it as well.  I think I'll definitely pick back up next year, and likely will have some things to say through the summer, but for now here we are with a wrapup of the last few weeks of the Avalanche season.

No Avs? Sucks but Bring On the Playoffs!

So the NHL regular season is now over but that just means the best time of the year has arrived and playoff hockey is set to start.  While my beloved Avs just missed out this year that doesn't entirely ruin the playoffs, though I will admit they would have been much better if they had made it in.  However there are some great matchups and while I will go back and look at how I did predicting this season later, right now I am going to take a look at the first round and give my take on who has a chance of not only making it deep in the playoffs but winning it all.

Past Meet Present - Dispatching Orcus

I have slacked in my duties to post the game recaps even though the hard work of writing them for the last two sessions was done by Jeremy once again to assist in my busy hours.  With the last two sessions, recaped below, the party closed their first major arc in the story out.  Moves, busy lives, and conflicting schedules have delayed things taking off again but in the meantime the party heads into new waters courtesy of a "guest" GM ... leading to the third recap below.  Enjoy...
