Aarif and JJ discuss all the good habits the team started to develop in order to earn the two points. The guys also review the loss against the Florida Panthers and some of the consistency issues facing the team. They also take a deep dive into Dary Kuemper’s first four games with the Avs and Sam Girard’s season so far before looking at the week ahead, starting with a home game against the Vegas Golden Knights. All that and more on this edition of Hockey Mountain High: Your go-to Avalanche Podcast.
