December 19, 2013 - Oilers at Avalanche

I always enjoy shooting the Oilers, regardless of their record, for the young players and for the classic style. They play good hockey and the games in Denver always seem close. The Avalanche would take this one, though.

December 16, 2013 - Stars at Avalanche

I enjoyed shooting this "new rivalry" game which is "new" due to the re-alignment of the NHL conferences for this season. I also enjoyed the new uniforms of the visiting Stars. The Avalanche handled the Stars and I shot a late-game photo of the Avalanche Ice Girls sweeping around frustrated goalie Kari Lehtonen.

December 12, 2013 - Chargers at Broncos

Tough loss for the Broncos, who just couldn't get drives going for much of this game. The rematch, with significantly higher stakes, is scheduled for Sunday night, January 12, 2014. The game went OK for me, though I missed the single best play that happened in front of me all year when Keenan Allen hurdled a defender for his first of two touchdowns on the night. You hate to miss those. Oh well. Photos copyright Getty Images 2013.

December 10, 2013 - Coyotes at Avalanche

Can't lie and say I don't enjoy some sprayed ice, as well as being around and watching the girls who clear it for us during the commercial breaks.Glad the Avalanche brought some ice girls to Denver, and I think they enjoy their job.

December 8, 2013 - Titans at Broncos

The Broncos handled the Titans on this cold Sunday afternoon. I wore five layers of shirts and two layers of pants, and I was comfortable through the freezing cold game. Prater nailed a 64-yard field goal with seconds left in the first half for that "perfect storm" field goal where everything had to align for it to even be attempted. He owes Broncos TE Joel Dreessen a couple of beers for getting tackled at just the right spot. Photos copyright Getty Images 2013.

November 10, 2013 - Capitals at Avalanche

The Avalanche continued their early season winning ways against the visiting capitals, who featured the diva flopper Alex Ovechkin this particular evening. At one point Ovie lied against the boards motionless for about a minute after tripping over Jan Hejda, before getting up, skating to the bench, and taking his next shift. Nice win for the Avs.

November 6, 2013 - Predators at Avalanche

The Predators visited the Pepsi Center for the second time in the young season and managed a 6-4 win.
