Puppy Dogs and Sunshine: Avs Win PGT

So, it is happy hockey day or something. Avs have a pretty convincing win against a Mild team that looked sluggish from the start.
So, since it's happy hockey day, and MHH did not really participate, I'll go for it. I love hockey because I'm an angry person. Hockey allows me the ability to shout, throw my fists, and cheer loudly in idiot's ears in an appropriate setting. 82 games per year allow me to be aggressive and happy all at the same time without hurting any one. Oh, and Peter Forsberg. There is nothing better than watching Forsberg hit, score, and demolish the Wings.

I know we love the game threads but if this works maybe we can continue to post them.
For bigger type games, anyway.

If the Avs
could combine the team they had tonight with the good penalty killing/defensive team we have seen in the bore-fests, they could be a force.

You mean
we’d be an all around team with talent at all positions and enough grit to fight through the playoffs? This is just too crazy of an idea.

Total crazy talk.
I do wonder, though, why all of the sudden the Avs are showing up for a couple of games.
What happened to the utter lack of heart?

I loved the fight I saw in the team, especally on offense. Defense they were a little lost………oh crap, the Avs have returned to the team they were at the beginning of the season!

So, if Lappy is kicking the offense, when Foote comes back he will kick the defense?

The excitement of coming back to the Avs wore off of him.
by InYoFace on Dec 1, 2008 9:12 PM MST up reply actions 0 recs
He could just be done.
He really hasn’t looked like he cherishes shutting down the opposing team’s best forward anymore. He used to have that look in his eyes like he couldn’t wait to get out there and dominate, and now he just looks like he’s lost some of that fire.

Honestly
He’s been a sad story since he left the Avs. Something about being away from Forsberg, Sakic, and Roy, kinda seemed to kill his fire.
If I had to play for CBJ, I think I would lose my fire, too.

I thought his rebounds were a little shaky, but the PK really let him down overall.

by Jibblescribbits on Dec 1, 2008 9:14 PM MST reply actions 0 recs
That's how I see it.
The last 90 seconds of both the first and second periods really kept Minnesota in the game. I can’t stress enough how huge it was that we end the periods on a solid tone and not get bogged down in going through the motions to get to the locker room.
by SlamDunkTheFunk on Dec 1, 2008 9:17 PM MST up reply actions 0 recs
He was a little shakey but not a terrible effort. Besides, now he will get back into consistent starts and its only up from here…..for like 5 games.
by InYoFace on Dec 1, 2008 9:17 PM MST up reply actions 0 recs
5 goals is not his best showing but then again, the Mild seems to have studied him. One goal, for sure, was put home high after he went down too soon.

He seemed to give up a few rebounds but considering we gave so many stupid penalties to teh #2 tPP team then he can be forgiven for the PP goals a bit, some of them he didn’t really have achance.

La’s new 3rds are just hideous. Not really hideaous but completely generic. It feels like it should just say “Los Angeles” and be a generic hockey team for a video game too cheap to use officially licensed team names.

I love an underdog story, and to be fair, Rocky was probably more revolutionary when It first came out, and I didn’t watch it until I was 18 or so the formula that Rocky established had already been worn out, so watching the original didn’t have the impact, but yeah. It was pretty boring.

MHR is like that for Broncos games. They break it down by quarter, and each quarter is like 400 comments. It’s insane.

that despite all that, we hold our own because the smaller number of people we have posting. Of course, I haven’t spent anytime over there seeing how many different posters they have throughout a game.

The Leafs are the center of the hockey universe ect. ect….

Johnny Mac has some help in his movies, whereas Rambo is just a certified badass who can magically multiply the number of arrows he has for his explosive crossbow. I think it’d be an epic throwdown, though.

He's more hardcore than that.
He shreds an entire town’s police force without really using much in the way of weaponry. The scene where he walks into town holding his life’s belongings in his duffel bag just looking for something to eat remains one of my favorite cinematic scenes ever.

He's a god awful actor
but Rocky/Rambo are so cool and awesome. John McClane is absolutely in the same class as they are. I just love how “one man army” all of those characters are. It’s like they made the movies based on video games that weren’t released yet.

Tango and Cash was one of my favorite movies when I was a kid. Maybe that’s why I’m so screwed up. And Cliffhanger. To be fair, though, Judge Dredd was one of the worst movies ever made.

Yes, yes they are
along with ‘Invisible when not wearing a goalie mask’ Which I know for a fact is true. I was at hockey with one of my mates who jacked his arm and couldn’t play for a couple of weeks and had finally come to hockey to watch our other mates triumphant return after a few weeks as well. I was standing next to him talking to one of the instructers who said “Why haven’t you three been here the last few weeks” which i replied “I’ve been here every week” Which was met with a short pause before she said “Oh, yeah. you have, I’ll give you that” Thus proving someone who sticks out like a sore thumb is invisible whennot wearing my mask.
