Game 23: Lightning At Avalanche, Preview And Open Thread

Tampa Bay Lightning at Colorado Avalanche, Nov 29, 2008 7:00 PM MST

Tampa Bay Lightning
   Colorado Avalanche
 6-9-7 November 29, 2008  10-12-0 
   Pepsi Center
 

 Denver, CO
 

Talk about an exciting matchup.  In 22 games, the Tampa Bay Lightning have managed 50 goals.  The Avalanche have managed 54 in the same time span.  League-leading San Jose has scored a whopping 89 goals in just one more game played. 

The only major difference between the two basement-dwelling underachievers is their success in overtime.  The Avs have yet to lose a game in OT or the shootout.  The Lightning have managed to lose seven overtime games.  That's pretty sad, but at least they get seven points for their trouble.

The Avalanche don't have a lot going for them right now.  Joe Sakic played a single shift in yesterday's game against the Coyotes and then left the ice for good.  We may never see him again, the way things are going.  Adam Foote and Ben Guite remain injured and Wojtek Wolski played against Phoenix like he had a concussion.  Ryan Smyth is still playing his ass off but the rest of the team continues to just skate around aimlessly.

Peter Budaj, after twelve straight starts, will finally get a rest today.  Andrew Raycroft will be in net for the Avalanche, which means at least one team on the ice will have a big offensive showing.  Mike Smith is the likely starter for the Lightning, and he's had much past success against the Avs (while playing for Dallas) and is solid enough to keep the pathetic Avalanche "attack" at bay.

UPDATE: Never mind, this report says it's Kolzig.  Then again, it also says Budaj will be in goal again.  So I have no idea.

Let's hope all of my pessimism is unfounded.

Is it a rule that once a player isn’t hurt anymore that he must come off the IR? I ask because I wouldn’t mind Darcy Tucker staying there for 60 more games.

Update from Dater

AD had some updates after the morning skate. Sakic’s injury has been put on “indefinite” status. Foote has been put on IR retroactive to Nov. 22. A defenseman named Aaron MacKenzie has been called up from Lake Erie.

After skipping the MSU-UM game yesterday and then hitting the tubes late last night, I can honestly say the important thing is to NEVER FIND OUT THE SCORE OF THE GAME!!!!!!!!

Then again, after talking to my little bro, it was a particularly horrible brand of football, so I see your point…

I find it odd that a couple hours before the game, we don’t know who will be in net. If we want a chance to win, Budaj should play. But you could say that about every game for the rest of the season. Unfortunately, we have already lost so many games, there is no cushion to let Raycroft play and get shelled every once in a while.

by texacogirl on Nov 29, 2008 4:43 PM MST reply actions   0 recs

But if Raycroft has to play then an Eastern Conference team is the only team he can play that won’t affect our standings as much.

I get what your saying, but if we physically have to play raycroft, as in Budaj’s passed out or something, then an if we lose to an eastern conference team we won’t be giving up points to another western conference team in the standings. I don’t really want Raycroft to play but if he has to we have less to lose against the East than we do against a West team.

Another thing that’s been over-looked for tonight’s match-up: Tocchet hasn’t won a game on the the road. I bet he gets one tonight. The Avs LOVE being the ‘first’ for so many different players, coaches and jerseys.

Avs power play. Can we score a second ppg?

It’s just now sinking in how absolutely terrifying it is to just have a one goal lead with Andrew Raycroft in net.

If they really wanted to give Budaj another night off, they should just play with 6. Probably a wash…

They could always dress Clark in the goalie gear and sit both Budaj and Raycroft.

Yeah, blocking shots in his normal attire doesn’t seem to bother him.

He might need a face mask though. Then again, Dater will probably really scream about rebounds.

Nah, thats limited to Boods. he really has something against him, when Boods plays incredibly good he’ll either find a complaint with his rebounds or just say something along the lines of " Boods played well" and leave it at that. he never elaborates on Boods good play and doesn’t shut up about his bad play.

If you’re wrong and Raycroft’s in net expect some angry comments from me. I WILL NOT let Granato stop me from seeing a full Budaj game on TV.

Too bad not hat trick for Wolski. He seemed to be working for it.

I expected him to be on the ice when the EN was there.

About time Wolski stepped up and had a good game. He was great on offense and strong on the PK. Good work, Baron.

He’s been strong on the pk this season, a couple of games ago he was Willsie and they wrecked havoc on the opposition.

So Wolski and Willsie swapped bodies for a game, thats pretty darn good.

If he has another good game with some good shots and hopefully some goals i propose we change his nickname to the Burgundy Baron.

Glad Smith didn't start tonight.

Against Olie the Goalie, Avs 3, Bolts 0 in one period.

If only we could score four or more goals with Boods in net, we’d be a force.

Well, that was money well spent. Fine night at the Can with a good crowd. Avs skated hard all night.

If anyone deserves that kind of goal support, it’s Andrew Rycroft.

So what the hell, put the three softest guys on one line and they just kill it. Even Arnasons usual routine of poke checks and crossing passes worked. Some of it has to do with Tampa Bay playing a skating game like Edmonton and not resorting to some left wing lock etc…

Lots more to say but it’s just good to feel good about the team again.
