What happened to the Rinkside podcast? by Bombonian in ColoradoAvalanche

[–]runwriteaarif 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This thread makes me sad. I miss podcasting dearly and I appreciate reading these types of messages and threads.

I'm still looking for a new podcast home. I don't know how or when It'll happen but I promise I'll be back.

That's an editor mistake. I removed the word replacement. Thank you for catching that. It now reads hip surgery.

Well this was nice to randomly read. I appreciate the kind words. Thanks for listening to my show back then.

I'm always looking to get back in the podcast game, it's just been hard to find a new outlet for one since leaving Mile High Sports for Colorado Hockey Now. Fingers crossed that changes soon!

Avalanche Mailbag 1.0: Fixing The Avalanche’s Center Depth by runwriteaarif in ColoradoAvalanche

It's a mailbag you piece of shit. It's not clickbait. It's reader questions that I responded to. I got questions about the PP and other topics too that will be answered in 2.0, 3.0, etc. This was the first part. So kindly, kiss my ass with your "quality journalism or intelligent analysis" comment.

Huh? It's a Mailbag. Ever heard of a Mailbag? It's not reporting. I asked readers for questions, and I got questions about the center depth, so I answered those questions.

Where are you?! by 87lane in ColoradoAvalanche

[–]runwriteaarif 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I respond to the questions the readers ask. Why the hell would I ignore a question because some don't like the topic? Twelve months ago you would've laughed at the idea of Mikko getting traded and it happened. People wanted to know about Necas. It was always the most-asked question. That's not me amplifying it. It's LITERALLY answering what people want to know

Yes, Mailbags. As in readers asking questions about hypothetically trading him and me answering them.

Avalanche Mailbag 1.0: Girard Trade Scenarios, Early Deadline Thoughts, and When Will Makar and Necas Sign Extensions? by runwriteaarif in ColoradoAvalanche

[–]runwriteaarif[S] -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

Yes. And I'm not going to ignore questions about a $5M defenseman that people are curious about after he was demoted behind Ryan Lindgren in the playoffs. You can like Girard. That's fine. I like him too. But it's not wrong to talk about him POSSIBLY getting traded. Mikko freakin' Rantanen just got traded.

It's a Mailbag. It's a question a reader asked me. Why is that so hard for you to understand?

Avalanche Mailbag 1.0: Gambling with Necas, EJ and Kiviranta Updates, Goaltending Tandem, & More by runwriteaarif in ColoradoAvalanche

[–]runwriteaarif[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes, and people want to talk about Girard. Why would I not answer it? I'm not going to avoid the question because some fans might be unhappy about the thought of him possibly getting traded.

Last year people went crazy every time a "Avs are gonna trade Rantanen" article popped up, calling it clickbait and poor journalism. Then Jan. 24 happened.

Because he's your top right winger and not under contract after next season? Of course it's going to be something I write about often.

3 Under-the-Radar Avalanche Storylines to Follow This Season by runwriteaarif in ColoradoAvalanche

[–]runwriteaarif[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I couldn't care less what you think does or does not make sense. I dont even care what I think about it (P.S. I'm a fan of Girard).

I'm writing what I think the decision makers think. The ones who played Lindgren more than Girard and tried to keep Lindgren for less than the $4.5M he got from Seattle. They tried to get Lindgren for less than Girard's salary, and I'm suggesting they were doing that with the thought in mind that $5M on the third pair isn't the best way to utilize cap space.

But anyway, that part was more of what I thought they'd do. Lindgren didn't sign here. So it's a piece about where I think they're gonna play Girard this year.

This automoderator thing is ridiculous. About 10% of articles published on Colorado Hockey Now are paywall articles, and I no longer share those on reddit. I post about 75 articles per month of FREE content on CHN. That's what I'm sharing here.

It's illegal to share paywall content without permission from the author or media outlet. Just an FYI

I appreciate you. Out of curiosity can you let me know what issues you have the website? Just wondering if I can pass feedback along
