Colorado Avalanche at Anaheim Ducks, Nov 24, 2008 8:00 PM MST


Colorado Avalanche		Anaheim Ducks
9-10-0	November 24, 2008	11-8-3
	Honda Center
	Anaheim, CA

Here's how tuned in I am to the current hockey season: I saw that the Avs were playing the Ducks tonight and I thought to myself, "Self, this will be cake. The Ducks suck this year."
As it turns out, the Ducks sucked this year, very early on, but have since turned that hot mess around and are now not too bad. 11-8-3 isn't great, but it's better than 9-10-0. I mean, if you're going to hover around .500 all season, at least hover above it, right? It's like Louis CK's joke about having a negative bank balance (NSFW without headphones). You have to raise ten bucks just to be broke. That's the way the season is going for the Avs. They have to win another game just to be mediocre.
Anyway, the Ducks have had a recent rough patch, but they're coming off a shootout win against Dallas. The Avs, of course, haven't played a game since November 8 in which the opposing team hasn't gotten at least one point. Sure, Peter Budaj has been awesome not only in regulation but also in shootouts, but the point is to not get to the shootout in the first place. The other team gets at least one point that way, geniuses.
What I wouldn't give to see the Avs play one full game in a cohesive, competent manner, in which they score multiple goals, hold the opposing team to significantly fewer goals, and are declared the winners after just the first 60 minutes. That would be amazing. That would be like an early Christmas present to me, seriously. I'd feel like they just won the Stanley Cup and I'd run around my house wearing just my white Avs jersey and a loin cloth and spray my roommates with warm sparkling grape juice and then go set the neighbor's house on fire Hockeytown Style. But unlike in Hockeytown, my neighbors actually still live there.
Seriously, that's how I would react to the Avs winning a regular season game, against the Ducks, in regulation, in November. It's been a rough year.

ADDENDUM: And, for added chuckles, Joe Sakic has recovered from his back injury just in time...to have a root canal.

ADDENDUM 2: I have no idea why the Ducks logo won't format correctly. It looks stupid floating so high up like that. Sorry. Fixed now.

ESPN preview.

What the hell

Does the Avs training staff stop looking for medical problems when someone gets injured. It’s almost as if they said, “alright Sakics backs injured, lets forget about him and any other problemns he may have untill he’s fit to play.”

Off topic but importanat

Zeiler was suspended without pay for three games for his boarding hit, not long enough IMO. I believe that if you cause a game missing injury you should be out for as long as the guy you injured with a minimum of 3-5 games, So if Foote came back tonight he’d miss the three, If Foote was out till April then so would Zeiler. It would really make people think twice.

Agree but disagree

Mostly, I agree that Zeiler should have received more and that the league needs to crack down on dirty plays like that. However, I don’t think you can always use the other player’s injury as the determining factor in the suspension. For example, Puke Veilleux’s hit on Stastny last year was at least as deliberate and cheap as Zeiller’s hit, but thankfully Stats wasn’t hurt. Still, Veilleux deserved at least as many games as Zeiler did (and it should have been more, imo as well). In another case, a player may get more seriously hurt due to his own vulnerable position moreso than the intent and severity of a hit (see Draper, Krissy), in which case a few games is reasonable.

I can see your point

but using my way then you would get a minimum ban regardless of the injury and then for the remainder of the injury, obviously you would have to take into account how much was the hit and how much was the victims positioning but atleast it would have a base amount of games missed that everyone would know, instead of this will-he-won’t-he crap they have now.

Alignment

Try:

That should do it. Or you could add padding to the image itself to make it match the height of the other logos.

Speaking of technical problems

Why do no videos work on my computer. Is there some specific problem that causes them to not show. It’s only the ones that you post from youtube that don’t work, any of the NHL ones seem to work. The ones on this site show a white box with that weird box in the top left corner and when you right click it comes up with options to set as favourite as desktop, but not show picture or video.

Yep

Maybe if they had a real logo you wouldn’t be having this problem. Dropp the “Ucks” and keep the D that they use for all their merchandise and you’ve got a decent logo.

are winning 2-0 against Theodore and the Caps. Clutterbuck’s scored both goals. Has anyone noticed Theo’s still wearing his Avs mask, only with a capitals sticker over the big foot. That’s commitment to your team.

I always thought that he never changed his mask from Montreal either. It had the same gargoyles, just with a bigfoot on the chin. I still think that he’s wearing that same mask in Washington.

Go Avs!

by Mike, (Avs Fan) on Nov 24, 2008 7:52 PM MST up reply actions 0 recs

It had ice on the gargoyles and was more concretey. The one he had in NHL 07 looked like his Montreal mask because it was all red. His current one, and last years with the Avs had alot of rock/concrete like Boods has on his right side. The Caps one still has all the ice stuck to teh gargoyles, apparently he was getting a new one with all teh DC landmarks but hasn’t worn it yet.

It’s a nice looking mask, It’s just weird that it seems to take him so long to debut new masks when he changes teams. I’ve only ever seen One goalie wear his old teams mask with their new team and that was Mike Smith when he was traded last year and had to play almost the same night so he didn’t have time to get new pads/mask.

Wow, Sakic out with a root canal? Seriously? Couldn’t they have done this root canal earlier? Like last week?…

I think Wolski’s out too. No Sakic, no Wolski, and no Foote, we’re gonna be pretty shorthanded tonight. I hope Jones plays now, maybe he got some fire back.

We haven’t seen any call ups so I would think Jones, Arnason, the Cody’s, Willsie, will all be in the line up.
In other words…one scoring line and three muck and grind lines.

OK, so maybe the Arnageddon line doesn’t even fit in as a grinder line…

Huet was probably a bit expensive but Conks wasn’t that much more than Raycroft IIRC and would be good as backup to Boods or as starter. I would have liked to see Conks here as well.

Arnason…how many times can he screw up on the same shift?

Lost the face-off, had to tip the puck three or four times before it got to Hannan, and then he carried the puck off sides with his slooooow arse skating

It is a great game

If you liked COD 3, you will def like this one. It takes a little getting used to from 4 because of the WWII weapons vice modern ones. The campaign seems longer, but is not as gripping as 4 because everyone knows what happened in WWII.

Consider Avs get home late tonight…have to play again on Wednesday, then fly to Minny for a game on Friday, come right back to play Tampa on Saturday. That is a lot of travel, you have to give Boods some rest.

Now and then we had the hope that if we lived and were good, God would permit us to be PIRATES.

And I’m going to the game Wednesday. Yay. And the Wings game in December. I tried to tell my dad it would be a painful game to go to… One month away, G not fired… That game is going to sick more than the Wings.

If Budaj plays Wednesday, I will have my sign, for what it’s worth.

Project

DD,

Something to look at. How have the Avs faired in games where they had an early fight. I seem to recall Lappy getting in an early fight against Calgary in which we were horrible. McLeod did it tonight. Just wondering if there’s a trend on early fight (shortened bench and early miss-matched lines) and the Avs performance.

by Dario on Nov 24, 2008 10:38 PM MST reply actions 0 recs

So what’s next? Is Sakic going to slip on the ice in front of his home and break his big toe? Wolski’s “roommates” are playing the Wii and knock him unconscious? Svatos trips over a glove in the locker room and hurts his ankle? Stastny’s spleen ruptures?

How many season are we going to have to suffer through this injury BS?

All these crazy things are going on and Arny will drift through, dodging everything and walk away safely while the rest of the locker room will be dead.
