On my way to the game.
I’ll be one of two idiots in Avalanche jerseys sitting on the blue line near the penalty box.
The Angry Avalanche Nerd.
Another game thread missed
No laptop still, but it wouldn’t matter because the Avs are on Center ice Channel 11, and Comcast san jose only carries Center Ice 1-10…. Not sure if i’m more angry at center ice or COMCAST for this screwup.
Sigh, i’ll be back here some day.

Hensick and Tucker
with a decent chance. Hopefully their chemistry will produce soon.

What do the Avs think they’re doing, scoring on a powerplay.

Whoa
Avs score on the non-chalant shot but failed on the quality chance in the slot. Weird.

Holy cow…not only did the Avs supply some pressure, but they were shooting from the point? what has possessed this team?

Actually i got from the lyric sheet of Pennywise’s Unknown Road but it kinda sums up a fair few of my decisions in life. Like playing ice hockey and being straight edge.

Pennywise, eh? I first heard of Robert Frost in a Paul Simon song. Paul Simon is actually my most favorite poet, along with Jim Morrison.
Red Wings Suck
To be honest I have no idea who Frost is, they just had his quote at the start of the lyric sheet and it’s something that always stuck with me. I’ve never been abig poetry fan and probably couldn’t name a single poet.

Bill Burr, comedian, in the box with McNabb and Haynes right now. Trashing the third jerseys. Pretty damn entertaining.
Red Wings Suck
yeah i heard one of the announcers trashing the Kings third earlier, I’ve only seen the pictures at Icethetics but I actually thought it had a nice design but needed either their current logo or even the old Gretzky logo instead of the one it has. Can’t wait to see the Coyotes, that looks pretty nice.

Hannan doesn’t want to be an Av. That’s it. Paycheck is all he cares about. BTW Hannan and Smyth hang out together. Coincidence? I think not.

Although he’s been playing Luongo like, I have no problem if he wants to be Roy-like. Kolesnik was the only goalie since Roy that that looked capable but Boods is stepping it up, for sure.

If we could clone people in their prime it would definitely be those three but of current players Boods is probably the only cloneable person the Avs have, maybe SOS if he gets his form back.
"Two roads divurged in a wood, and I took the one less travelled by, and that has made all the difference"
R. Frost
I have to admit Raycroft really has only had one bad game…the Columbus game. He is the backup and we need to give him a chance to play. Budaj is not an Evgeni Nabokov or a Ryan Miller, he won’t make it playing 75-80 games this season. Not with the number of shots he has been facing.

The only difference between the goalies you mentioned and Budaj is that he has never played that many games per season. That doesn’t mean he can’t do it. He’s just a noob.
Red Wings Suck
But raycrofts first two games where also when teh Avs seemed to score at will and cover any mistakes he made. If we put Raycroft against Calgary or Vancouver we would have been absolutely humiliated.

I'd be beat too
if i was one of the few people playing for a full 60 minutes. Hell i’m beat after 5 minutes in the net.

Altitude’s having trouble with their audio. It’s hilarious. You can hear in the background" can’t get norm" and “we’re having a little trouble”

And Norm keeps repeating the same line….

Now the Kings announcers are trying to rationalize the hits on Foote and Wolski. Retards!

Dater's live blog
was good reading, ya know if you enjoy reading about Budaj’s giant rebounds that he always leaves. Seriously, he said the same thing about 5 times with almost no praise for Boods.
Also Claude Lemieux may be signing with the Worchester Sharks, San Jose’s affiliate and theres a blog about the hit on foote where Dater thinks there’ll be a long suspension on Zeiler.

Hopefully Zeiler will get slapped with something major…but I have little faith in the NHL right now.

tonight vs flamers
Tonight we semed to play very hard. It was almost like we had everything going for us (mentally) going into this game. Does it seem to anyone else that we should have blown over the kings, but instead it was a great match up?
I am not sure what to feel anymore. The team is playing hard, the chances are coming, but where is the juice?
When Footer went down the passion was there, for a little bit. Then, it kind of reverted back to this “same ol same ol” type of hockey.
Does anyone else feel like the team is missing something? Even if Sakic comes back healthy vs the ducks, it still will feel like something is missing.
I feel like we are drowning. We need some major effort from our players. Hejduk has been stepping up on both ends, but we need more. Doesn’t this season feel like:
“Hey we should see what we can get from these players!”
What do you guys think?
