We will talk with Adrian about his journey as an NHL journalist and the transformation and changes he's seen the game evolve into. We will discuss his current job covering Colorado Hockey Now and all things related to the Avalanche. How he sees the season playing out for them, what they will need to do to take the next step in terms of not only being a cup contender on paper but also on the ice and what he thinks the Western Conference will shake out like with a lot of teams displaying strong performances early in the season. For our “We Just Gotta Know” segment we will ask Adrian to share with us the top three games he has covered over his long, illustrious journalistic career.
