The Avalanche lost in a shootout but Jonas Johansson, Colorado's latest goalie project, was not terrible. The guys discuss why Johansson's performance was uniquely important for the Avs. Philipp Grubauer has been on a tear and the Avs destroyed Minnesota in goals. But also in shots. Or so we think. Maybe. Let's talk Michael Russo and his attack on Colorado's off-ice officials. Speaking of officials, Tim Peel was just let go. The Avs are hot and so is Vegas. The real litmus test starts Thursday. All that and more on this edition of Hockey Mountain High: Your go-to Avalanche Podcast.
