Game 5: Avalanche At Stars, Preview And Open Thread

Colorado Avalanche at Dallas Stars, Oct 18, 2008 12:00 PM MDT

Colorado Avalanche
   Dallas Stars
 1-3-0 October 18, 2008  1-2-1 
  American Airlines Center
 

 Dallas, TX
 

It's been a rough first week for the Colorado Avalanche.  They dropped the first three games by just one goal each time, and their lone win came against the Flyers, arguably the worst team in the entire NHL right now.  Peter Budaj, desperate to establish himself as the reliable starting goalie, is still without a win or a game with a save percentage over .900.  His backup, the much-maligned Andrew Raycroft, wasn't great but was still good enough to get the team's lone victory.

Originally, the plan was to play Budaj three or four straight games then give him a rest and play Raycroft for one game.  Well, for reasons possibly not fully understood, Coach Tony Granato has elected to start Raycroft again, this time against the Dallas Stars. 

The Stars, like the Avs, are a pretty strong team on paper.  In the standings, however, their record doesn't reflect that.  After dropping the first game of the year against Columbus in overtime, the Stars then lost to Nashville, then beat Nashville, then got beat bad by the Blues.  They are no doubt looking to avenge that loss with a decisive victory over the unsure Avalanche.

A win by the Avalanche would be great, but a really impressive performance by Raycroft might throw the whole goalie arrangement into chaos.  We'll see.

The game starts early, at noon Mountain time.  Due to an excessive amount of school work to do, I will only be able to stop in on the game thread here and there.  Day games are traditionally weak on turnout anyway, but hopefully a few of you will be around.

Could we see a 2 on 1 fight?

Lappy and Tucker vs. Avery. I’m sure someone would jump in for the Stars.

I vote for Ott to be the fourth man in. I could also see McCleod being interchangeable with Lappy.

26 Card Jet

by Tommelot on Oct 18, 2008 12:58 PM MDT up reply actions   0 recs

you can go to “Schedule,” pick a game and select “coverage” on the right. That link will show you any and all game threads and related posts linked to that event. That means if the game was between two teams represented by two SB Nation blogs, you’ll get to see the previews and threads from both of them. For the Avalanche game against the Sabres on October 25th, you’ll be able to see both our thread(s) and the game thread from Die By the Blade. Pretty cool, huh?

Maybe it’s me. When I read Joe’s explanation of this it sounded like some type of split screen or something feature. I think I interpreted this wrong.

Red Wings Suck

by texacogirl on Oct 18, 2008 1:02 PM MDT up reply actions   0 recs

Oh, no I just meant that you could see the posts themselves, not necessarily have both threads running simultaneously on one window. But as long as the posts are “attached” to the “event” (the game), you’ll be able to click on the “coverage” link and see all of them linked from one screen, which is cool.

The dual-window idea will in fact work for those interested in participating in two threads at once. That’s dedication.

The Duke just said that playing with Stazzer is the same as playing with Foppa; “Find the open spot and wait for the puck to land on your stick”

Staz and Foppa do play similar styles. Stastny will probably always have way more assists than goals. Foppa was more physical (mugged) though. Makes me wonder if teams will start mugging Stastny.

by InYoFace on Oct 18, 2008 1:04 PM MDT up reply actions   0 recs

Forsberg brought a lot of that on himself. He never backed down from a confrontation, always finished his checks, and shit-talks relentlessly. Stastny is not an agitator like that.

The reason Foppa’s career has been so hampered by injury is partially due to his aggressive playing style. If we get the same level of talent out of Stastny without all the games lost to injuries, that’s fine by me!

That’s bunk. Stastny and Sakic have completely different styles and strengths. Sakic was always a playmaking sniper. Forsberg was a sniping playmaker. Stastny is probably one of the most well-rounded players I’ve ever seen, combining strengths from both, but heavier on the Forsberg than on the Sakic.

I think it’s worth noting that the Avs have been able to capitalize on screw-ups made by the other team, rather than play consistently well at all ends of the ice. It’s not so much that the Avs are good, they’ve just been able to exploit glaring weaknesses when they arise.

That’s good, but it’s not going to consistently win games.

I am in a good mood, though. This game is great so far.

Isn’t a team that can capitalize on the other teams mistakes a sign of a good team? If the Avs could have a high percentage of opportunistic goals, that could be just enough. The games I wouldn’t like is when the Avs play teams that have very few mistakes.

The games I wouldn’t like is when the Avs play teams that have very few mistakes.

That was the source of my “but” statement. Exploiting screw ups is critical, but some teams just don’t screw up that often, and relying on the other team to fail instead of succeeding on their own is going to mean more losses than wins for the Avs in the long run.

True. Maybe it’s just me, but the defense has really seemed tighter in front of Raycroft, similar to the Theo punishment. Just my two cents. That being said, I say put Budaj back in net. Raycroft initiates heart attacks.

Red Wings Suck

by texacogirl on Oct 18, 2008 2:40 PM MDT up reply actions   0 recs

Yeah, Raycroft really sucked today. He made a couple of really good saves, but that’s the thing I’ve noticed with Budaj as well so far. He makes some really nice flashy saves, but then lets in some stoppable goals. And Raycroft did the same in this game. However, I think this was definitely the best outcome we could have hoped for, Raycroft didn’t play well, so we should see Budaj back in net on Monday (hopefully his confidence will be restored), but we still won the game. Sweet.

So much for our offense being the weak spot of the team.

Great Game thread

I missed the game due to being in Yosemite this weekend. Reading the comments here is like reading a really in-depth live-blog

A really in-depth, schizophrenic, borderline insane live-blog.

I believe in Peter Budaj
