Colorado Avalanche Media Coverage

[UncleRisto]

If I were a betting man, I'd bet on Boulding at this point.

That'd not be the worst.

 

[klozge]

That'd not be the worst.

He'd be a good choice imo.

 

[expatriatedtexan]

Yeah Boulding seemed to carry himself well. There would be a lot worse hires possible.

 

[Hennessy]

This was gratifying to see. Not everyday an editorial board goes hard after its ownership.

 

[Foppberg]

Doesn't TMV do a podcast with Boulding too? He must be pretty good then.

 

[henchman21]

Boulding is officially the guy. Solid choice IMO.

Nice! I guess this is obvious, but I thought he made the most sense.

 

[The Mars Volchenkov]

From talking to him the other night it’s just a contributory thing and the playoffs are a tryout. But that may have changed.

He’s a good dude. Happy for him.

His first two pieces are pretty consistent with the Athletics quality. Nothing earth shattering, but a good start IMO if he's having to prove himself in any way.

 

[Foppa Frossa]

has Boulding gotten into fights with fans on twitter yet?

 

[Foppberg]

Nice. Hopefully he sticks.

Also RL is a psychic apparently.

Haha, @RockLobster he who posts last is remembered first.

 

[Foppberg]

Hart Trophy race comes down to wire

Boulding already has a pair of Avs articles up on TA too.

 

[RockLobster]

Haha, @RockLobster he who posts last is remembered first.

Don't be jealous...

 

[Foppberg]

So it begins.. Really curious on how much this effects BSN.

 

[Avalanche]

Competition is good.

Forces everyone to be at their best

Nope.

Bet you can't start one with him...

 

[Bubba Thudd]

I'm sure you meant either psychotic or sidekick...

 

[Freudian]

Didn't Boulding work for Avs? If so, he might at least be on speaking terms with some insiders.

AJ's happy for him, at least that's what he told me a few days ago. He/BSN aren't delusional, they know what The Athletic brings to the market. They just happen to also be confident in themselves and in what they've done over the last two years, especially this year.

And in the end, it's as Avalanche said--competition is good, forces everyone to do their best, and us readers are the beneficiaries of it.

The word is that the parting of ways wasn't exactly "smooth". I'm not sure it will be a deterrent, but again, that's just what has sort of gone around (and given some of the tweets he's had since leaving, it would seem to indicate that it wasn't smooth either).

That's not a shot at him though, I'm looking forward to seeing what he/The Athletic do in Denver.

He certainly threw a fair bit of shade on Twitter RE: the Avs although I haven't noticed any for a while now, how much of that was just working through an (apparently) slightly acrimonious split and how much was him seeing stuff like this on the horizon and realizing it might be professionally detrimental is something really only he knows but I'm hoping for good things from him.

If he sticks around long term and they commit to Avs coverage at the Athletic Denver I may finally be signing up.

What? No Rapids beat reporter?

If Sakic will still occasionally give Dater the light of day. Then I can't imagine Ryan having any trouble lol.

I'm going to keep my subscriptions for both publications for the time being. While I have my issues with AJ and AD I think both are good writers and work hard to get the story. Boulding is a good choice, though I'm a bit sad it won't be Sadowski. In addition to their hockey stuff I think Harrison Wind's Nuggets coverage has been outstanding. BSN also did a good analysis/film breakdown on Case Keenum.
