We have only one thing on our minds this week and that's Olympic Hockey. Men's, women's, it doesn't matter. While there have been plenty of amazing Olympic moments throughout this last week. But we're a hockey first podcast. We're going to discuss each of the twelve teams in the tournament individually as we close in on the medal's being awarded.

It's time for the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic winter games. The men's hockey tournament is just underway, but the women's hockey tournament has already been grooving and the US women are crushing opponents and making history. We also play some fun hockey hypotheticals with some of our favorite NHLer's turned Olympians. But it's the Olympics, there's a lot more to talk about than just hockey on this week of the Captain Avalanche Fancast.

Power rankings aren't all we're bringing this week. We talk the Artemi Panarin Trade Saga coming to an end. The State of the Avalanche and the Sharks heading into the Olympics. Talk Stadium Series and outdoor games. And reflect on the history of women's Olympic hockey. There may be a rant or two in here.

P.S.

We want to do a mailbag during the Olympic break. If you have any questions about the Avalanche or Sharks or hockey in general. Send them our way!

Who makes the playoffs? Many teams are in contention for the coveted spots but only 8 can make it from each division. Dom and Cory do their best to figure that out, but before that more trade news is coming in by the second. The Avs extended Sam Malinski and the hosts play ping pong with the limited games played this week. Many questions, questionable answers.

The NHL will experience two different trade deadlines this year. One tied to the OIympic roster freeze on February 4th to February 22nd and the regular trade deadline on March 6th. That leaves little time for business to get done. GM Chris MacFarland of the Avalanche and Mike Grier of the Sharks have to move fast to get the pieces that they want. But who should they target? We have some thoughts here on the Captain Avalanche Fancast.

Josh Manson was this close to the NHL's first double Gordie Howe hat trick. The Avalanche may have cost Dean Evason his job. Captain Avalanche Cory and Dom from the Tank glaze Brock Nelson and Macklin Celebrini. Bobby McMann is really fast and Auston Matthews can score goals again. All this and so much more on this weeks episode of the Captain Avalanche Fancast.

Today well break down the Canadian Olympic roster, who we thought got snubbed, and who should replace whom. We'll do a check in on the other major hockey tournament, the World Juniors. We bring back the Avs and the Av Nots to break down some more Avalanche dominance. And as always we'll dive into the tank with Dom.
