Game 15: Avalanche At Canucks, Preview And Open Thread

Colorado Avalanche at Vancouver Canucks, Nov 12, 2008 8:00 PM MST

Colorado Avalanche
   Vancouver Canucks
 6-8-0 November 12, 2008  9-6-0 
  General Motors Place
 

 Vancouver, BC
 

This game would be a great one to win, no doubt about it.  The rest of the Northwest Division is pulling away from the Avs, who sit lonely in the basement a full five points behind Edmonton and Minnesota and seven points behind division-leading Calgary.  Beating the Canucks tonight would be a big step toward reclaiming this potentially disastrous season.

Peter Budaj is coming off a superb shutout against the Nashville Predators at the beginning of the week, and will get the start again in net.  He'll be facing Roberto Luongo, who has been very good for the Canucks, as always.  Says Budaj:

"If you ask any goalie, he wants to outplay the goalie at the other end.  Every goalie is beatable and we know that Luongo is playing really good right now. He's a great goalie. We just have to do the little things right. Get some traffic in front of him, get some rebounds and hopefully we get onto him."
The Avs have had a rough time on the road this year (2-4-0) but hopefully will be anxious to turn things around.

In injury news, Super Joe didn't travel with the team to Vancouver due to his recovering back, but he is expected to play within the next two games or so.  We hope, because Tyler Arnason is back in the lineup after a healthy scratch against Nashville and we don't want this to become a habit. 

The game starts at 8pm Mountain time, 10pm Eastern.

Great

Coming from the President and full membership of the Arnason fan club, I’m afraid this optimism doesn’t bode well for our boys.

Unfortunately I predict that Lou’s shutout streak continues into the second period (it’s currently 201 minutes). I think it goes up t 227…The Avs will score roughly 6:00 into the second frame. Hopefully the Avs will prove me wrong and actually score in the first period….

I don’t really care WHEN we score, as long as we’re not down 2,3,or 4 goals by that point, and we’ve played well. Unfortunately (or fortunately) I have a game too tonight so I won’t be able to see the avs or the game thread. I am looking foward to seeing lots of beautiful goal girls though when I get home….

The Avs have come out with the same type of jump you typically expect from the home team in a charged up atmosphere. 11 Shots in the first 9 minutes is pretty impressive.

Team play hasn’t been bad second period, Vancouver has had more jump (two power plays and a penalty shot will help that). But theteams does need to continue to play and get the pressure back in the other end.

Salei broke Pyatt’s stick before he got the shot off. It wasn’t a clear cut breakaway is about the only argument you could make on it being bogus I think.

Oh yeah.

There is absolutely no way they can justify sending him back down when he has consistently been a positive player on the ice, and that includes his defensive play. He has been very good at neutral ice, creating lots of offense from causing a turnover. His offense has obviously been very good, even if it does look as if he is reluctant to shoot most of the time. His puck-handling is very good, and his vision on the ice is easily NHL caliber. On top of that, the Inexplicable Roadblock known as Tyler Arnason is clearly in the Granato doghouse.

Made a great play to keep the puck in the zone on the faceoff, then a terrible play on the turnover, then did a good job of keeping the play alive as time was winding down, then a terrible job letting the clock run out without even taking a shot.

Budaj has had two really good games. If he can get some consistency, and the defense can get some consistency, they should be competitive.

I think

3. Svatos
2. Luongo
1. I think Stastny, Altitude went to post game before I heard it. It was an Avs player for sure.

I thought I heard Stastny in the background but I’m wrong. Which, I as well thought was weird when it wasn’t Budaj.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

That was an AWESOME win!!! I have to say, either the Canucks are the best PP team ever, or our PK sucked balls tonight. Budaj came up HUGE throughout the game to keep us in this one. The way Vancouver passed the puck, I thought that they scored several times only to realize Budaj robbed them. Absolutely sick play by Budaj throughout the night. And that PS call was BS.

Wolski’s goal was just… wow, what a move. His other move looks pretty sweet too, but Foppa’s old “drag the puck with one hand into the goal” is always my fave, and he pulled it off beautifully!!

Luongo is unreal too, he played superb, but Budaj outplayed him tonight. Which is pretty surprising given Luongo’s shutout streak.

Just an awesome, awesome win!

Go Avs!

Pretty sweet. Budaj matched Luongo almost tit-for-tat on goals. I’m truly amazed although I nevver thought the Nucks were an offensive force… But then again, I’m not a Nucks fan so, I’m not paying attention.

So

You are saying Boods could have had another shut-out tonight less the PS goal. I can agree with that.

Was just checking around

They’ve scored 2 or fewer goals in 8 of their 16 games but have only been shutout once. Strangely, they’ve scored at least 6 goals three times, but have yet to score just 3 goals in a game. Every game in which they’ve scored at least 4 goals, they’ve won. Weird team.

Sounds kinda flukey like the Avs so far.

You know...

I know every team has its great games and crappy games, but do you think there’s a chance we just got some of our worst games of the season all lumped together in that losing streak? The team that showed up tonight can do some serious damage if Budaj continues to play at (I’ll take near, as well) that level. The offense didn’t score 4 or 5 goals because of the man they were shooting at, and you can guarantee that every game you play against a team that isn’t Vancouver you will have an easier go of it. The offense had begun to look very average after it’s blistering start, but the way it played tonight it looks as if the beast might be waking up again. I missed a chunk of the second period, but caught the rest of it and was pretty damn impressed with the overall game tonight. I think this is the team I want to see on most nights.

by SlamDunkTheFunk on Nov 12, 2008 11:00 PM MST reply actions   0 recs

I thought

the 2nd period was depressing. But the 1st and 3rd periods were very good. This is like Bizarro 07-08 Avs.

I'm With InYo

This road trip is the test. The Avs are super close to loosing a playoff spot in November, no less. Many more losses and we may as well tank the season.

I can agree with that.

This trip won’t make our season, but it could break it. Obviously this is a very positive first step.
