Game 7: Oilers At Avalanche, Preview And Open Thread

Edmonton Oilers at Colorado Avalanche, Oct 23, 2008 7:30 PM MDT

Edmonton Oilers
   Colorado Avalanche
 4-1-0 October 23, 2008  3-3-0 
  Pepsi Center
  

 Denver, CO
  

The Colorado Avalanche are on a 3-game winning streak.  The Edmonton Oilers suffered their first loss of the season last night against the Blackhawks.  Nikolai Khabibulin, the greatest goaltender in the entire world, shut them out, giving ex-Avs coach Joel Quenneville his second win in three games at the helm of The Indian. 

No doubt tonight's game will be tough.  The Oilers are a much improved team from last season, and have already beaten the Avs once already.  But the Avalanche offense is doing well, and the defense/goaltending seems to be improving a bit.  If the Avs can stay competent in their own end, good things will happen.

Not that anyone cares, but my personal life is kind of on crack right now, so I won't be around for the game thread.  Not that it matters, considering the great participation we've been getting so far this season.  Keep it up!  And pick a good goal girl.  Adriana Lima was top notch last game, so let's try to maintain an equally high standard tonight.

How about a theme for my friend Dan, Ice Girls! And what could be more appropriate for an Av game that leading with one sporting a Pepsi logo?

Avs need to win this one

Edmonton is on the 2nd game of back-to-back, we’ve had 2 days of rest…this is one of those games you just have to pick up.

Would you say this is a must-win game?

Go Avs! Let's get some goals!

I would rank this a should win. Climb the NW standings. It not like the standing will be completely shuffled next week…………

I use the NHL.com Gamecenter.

I think it’s worth it. The archived games are a great way to kill time. I watched Game 4 of the Wild playoff series and the 9-5 game against the Blues last year while I was at work last night.

I'm on Leafs game

I spent some time over at Pension Plan Puppets earlier and they were an interesting group to read, so I figured I’d watch a Leafs game or two. During intermission I’m enjoying homework.

It's a neat place

to kill some time if you’re bored. Lots to read when the MHH archives have all been read through (I was on a mission to find my first post on here, so I was reading through every article until I found it).

I check it out

since I live near the GTA, so I’m stuck watching most of the Leafs ‘games’ anyways.

by Drakenlot on Oct 23, 2008 7:18 PM MDT up reply actions  

Leafs-Bruins

Since TSN is covering the Avs game right after.

Bad news is that its 10mins left, and it’s 2-2.

If only Sundin can get on the ice and score a goal, for either team, I don’t care. As long as this doesn’t go into OT.

by Drakenlot on Oct 23, 2008 7:11 PM MDT up reply actions  

It's a good game

but neither team is really showing lots of jump or a sense of urgency about getting that go-ahead goal.

by A.J. Haefele on Oct 23, 2008 7:13 PM MDT up reply actions  

Since when

has Leafs had any sense of urgency or jump?

by Drakenlot on Oct 23, 2008 7:17 PM MDT up reply actions  

I don't usually watch them

So I have no idea. From what I’ve read on their blog, they aren’t even expecting to be any good this year. They look competitive, but not like a team that believes it can win.

by A.J. Haefele on Oct 23, 2008 7:19 PM MDT up reply actions  

And just like that

Toronto makes it 3-2. Hahahahaha.

That’s what they call it this year.

Mike Haynes interviewed Cody McCormick

by A.J. Haefele on Oct 23, 2008 7:23 PM MDT up reply actions  

Best argument I have heard against the “punch line” was by Geo at Avslova, I think, saying why name a line which could very well end up in the AHL before the end of the season?

So the Leafs-Bruins game

Grabovski just gets tugged on pretty hard from behind, goes down, and doesn’t get the shot off. No penalty shot awarded. Yes, I’m still annoyed by the penalty shot handed to the Flyers.

by A.J. Haefele on Oct 23, 2008 7:35 PM MDT reply actions  

Refs seem to be real flippy-flop about awarding penalty shots. Meh. What can you do?

I wish there was some clarification on it

This is really starting to bug me. So far it seems like Sakic and Wolski have some chemistry…but Tucker just doesn’t belong on that line (and don’t get me started on using him so much on the PP).
I know Jones was gripping the stick a little tight, but off the top of my head I’d say Svatos, McLeod, Willsie, Hensick, and maybe the stick boy would be improvements over Tucker on that line. And I don’t even hate Tucker.

About this win.

I think this win is more convincing that any other. Solid goaltendiing, solid defense and PK (With the exception of Foote’s gaffe), PP could use some work but they did get atleast one PP goal.

And the offense…..possibly the best in the league right now.

I think they are a few years removed from a cup. They have some extremely underrated players (Hanzel and Mueller) and some good defenders (Sauer, Morris). With Bryzzy locked up and some solid FA signings I really think they will be a contender soon

I thought Kyle Keefe being on the bench during a TV timeout was the kiss of death.

The Avs should do this for every home game now.

My season tickets are upper bowl corner. Not bad for the money (2nd cheapest in the house), attack twice, 2nd row in the section, section is furthest toward side in the price range, facing benches. But the Avs were real nice and gave season ticket holders, even low lifes like me, lower bowl seats for free to a few games this year.

Wow, so this thread is now at 630+ comments. I think it’s not out of the question that we see a 1000-comment thread some time this season… Probably in the playoffs (if we make it, that is).

Budaj was just great this game. He seemed very confident and composed, I hope this continues for him.

Also, the defense did allow some nice passes and some nice break-ins into our zone, and the Oilers did buzz around our net for a good part of the 2nd period, but for the most part, they did not allow any easy scoring chances. By my count there were only 2 really good chances, they scored on one, and Budaj made a superb series of saves on the other. Overall, it was a really good game and a really nice win.

Go Avs!

To be fair, though

a lot of the comments came about hockey games other than the Avs game. Before it started, we talked a bit about various other games going on, and after the game we sat around checking out the Caps lose to Phoenix. But yeah, I think if the thread moves like it did tonight, we could very easily see a 1k thread.

I should probably stop stalking the thread and go spend my night off enjoying myself elsewhere. Of course, that means I’ll probably listen to Authority Zero all night while watching old hockey games on mute. You could say I have puck on the brain.
