Terry Frei leaving Avalanche beat
It was kind of a low-key announcement (way to bury the lead, AD!) so in case you missed it, Terry Frei will no longer be on the Avalanche beat for the Denver Post. He'll be staying with the Post and, as I understand it, focusing more on bigger features. Adrian Dater and Mike Chambers will be...
Frei's Take On Budaj
Terry Frei has a great piece on Peter Budaj today in the Post, and it comes on the heels of AD's solid blog entry about a week ago. Some of the highlights: With the Avalanche mired in a seven-game losing streak and vying for the worst record in the NHL heading into tonight's home game against...
Terry Frei's Correctness Cannot Be Contained
If there's been one great thing about the 2008-09 hockey season for the Colorado Avalanche, it's been Terry Frei's coverage of them in the Denver Post and at ESPN.com. He's been dead-on in his analysis since day one. He's really upped his game. Frei's latest piece, "Identity Theft Hits Avs,"...
Somebody At The Denver Post Is Wrong
Something has happened to the hockey writers at the Denver Post this season. Terry Frei, long known for his doom-and-gloom assessments of the Avalanche during the Coach Q era, has shifted to a much more balanced, rational tone this year. His colleague Adrian Dater, once an apparent kindred spirit...
Is Any Game In October A Must-Win?
At the start of last season, I had a tendency to take divisional games really seriously. As in, I called some of them "must-win" games. Bear in mind that these games were in October and November. While it's definitely better to beat a divisional opponent rather than lose to one, any game that...
Frei On Footer
Terry Frei did a great piece on Adam Foote, which appeared in today's Denver Post. In it he talks about his move from Columbus (minus the bogus rumors), the rebirth of his defensive style, his role on the Avalanche and the fact that hockey still makes him feel like a kid, even at age 37. But the...
31-10-7 Just Isn't Good Enough When You're Peter Budaj
I've probably added four or five inches to my biceps carrying all this water for Avalanche goaltender Peter Budaj. But even if I don't convince anyone but myself, I'll stick to my guns and defend him as long as he keeps playing well. Why this worn-out topic again? Because of Terry Frei, of...
Joe Is Back, But The Narrative Hasn't Changed
So Super Joe is back, a year older and $6 million richer. Even at 39, he's a formidable top line center, an inspiring veteran presence, and his wrister is still plenty twisted. I have contended that the most vulnerable part of the Colorado Avalanche this season will be the offense and I'm...
Joe Sakic To Speak During Democratic Convention
Technically, the headline is true. Terry Frei informs us that Super Joe will indeed hold a press conference of some sort on Thursday (August 28th) at his charity golf tournament at Sanctuary in Sedalia. The DNC events will not conclude until Obama's speech at Invesco later that evening, so I'm...
Frei: Granato's Coaching Ability Is "Suspect"
I like doing traditional media-style headlines. You cherry pick a single word from the article you're headlining, and then build a false impression of what the article is about using just that one word. This will all make sense, so stick with me. Terry Frei, one of "our" reporters, posted a...
