Game 29: Blackhawks At Avalanche, Preview And Open Thread

Chicago Blackhawks at Colorado Avalanche, Dec 12, 2008 7:00 PM MST

Chicago Blackhawks
   Colorado Avalanche
13-6-7 December 12, 2008  14-13-1
  Pepsi Center
 

 Denver, CO
 

The 'stache is back.

Former Avalanche coach Joel Quenneville brings his Chicago Blackhawks to town tonight to face his old team. Some aspects of the Blackhawks may be a little foreign to folks who've watched the Quenneville-coached Avs over the last few seasons. For one, the Blackhawks are 3rd in the league in average scoring, and have the league's 8th best powerplay. Others things may be a tad more familiar; Quenneville is considering a goalie rotation now that Nikolai Khabibulin is recovered from a recent "lower body" injury.

Khabibulin will be in net tonight, his first start since November 26th. He always seems to do well against Colorado. The Blackhawks have been just fine with Cristobal Huet in his absence - they are 6-2-2 in their last 10 games. Presumably, Peter Budaj will be the guy for the Avs.

2008 - Nikolai Khabibulin 13 779 7 1 4 0 32 2.46 413 381 .923 1


GPMINWLTEGAGAGAASASVSV%SO
2008 - Peter Budaj 25 1455 11 12 1 1 65 2.68 678 613 .904 1

Both the Avs and Hawks are riding 2-game winning streaks. Chicago is 3-0-1 in December, while Colorao is 3-1-1. The teams played each other on November 3rd, and Kane's Citizens walloped the Avs 6-2 (thanks to two goals by both Patrick Sharp and Andrew Ladd).

The only notable injury for chicao seems to be Adam Burish. The Avs are missing Joe Sakic, Ben Guite, Darcy Tucker, Brian Willsie and Marek Svatos. Adam Foote is expected to return to the lineup, sending Daniel Tjarnqvist back to the press box. Phillipe Dupuis has been recalled from Lake Erie and should play, uh, somewhere.

Fun Fact: The Blackhawks have two players on their roster under 6 feet tall (Patrick Kane and Kris Verteeg). The Avalanche have 7.

As always, feel free to go crazy doing whatever it is that you do during the game. The Avs have pledged to score one goal for every 100 comments in this thread.

Is the goals per 100 post promise counting pre-game comments? If that’s the case we would beat everyone in the league. Except Toronto. PPP would make Toronto 82-0.

I’m saddened by the loss of Tjarny tonight.

It’s a damn shame (alternative words bat-shit crazy) Tjarnqvist is being benched after how well he has played. Someone is taking crazy pills.

That in of itself might be reason enough to fire G.

The only reason I can think for this is “seniority”. Tjarnqvist had been one of the better D-men over his 9 game stretch. Hell the guy has as many goals as Arnason (albeit 1/3 fewer games), more than Clark, Hannan, and Foote (also 1/3 as many games – exception Foote only has 19), and a better +/- than Hannan and Foote. (and yes I know the +/- stats isn’t always the best indicator).

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

Seems stupid to bench one of your best defensemen, especially when he has the ability to score goal as well.

I’ll be at the game tonight in the cheap seats where I’m allowed to cheer. I trust Savage will contiue his rampage of commenting, as will The Canary and Bubblegum. If we lose, I bet everyone sulks off to bed. I’m guessing if we win, there may be some who will hang around after the game.

Go Avs!

Excited for the game tonight after our last outing, though I’d like to see Tjarny still in the lineup, not at the expense of Foote of course. It’ll be interesting to see what this Dupuis kid can do if he finds himself in the lineup. Also, I finally did my write-up for last game and preview for tonight’s game as well.

Ben Guite, MVP.

by Adam19 on Dec 12, 2008 6:06 PM MST reply actions   0 recs

Absolutely not reason whatsoever for benching Tjarmin Ultra. This is all the proof I needed that Tony G doesn’t have a fucking clue what he’s doing.

Make no mistake, Ultra will never make the all-star game, but he has been great and even provided the extra spark on offense to win two friggin’ games. Granato’s repays a clutch, gutsy effort with a benching. Complete douchery.

G couldn’t win a cup when this team had Sakic, Forsberg, Hejduk, Kariya, Selanne, Blake, Roy, etc., etc., you can’t convince me, without free beer and drugs, that he’s a remotely capable coach.

So I have a question for you peeps...

A lot of folks are leaving comments on various Avs’ blogs to the tune of Liles being overpaid and totally sucking. I’m not getting it as it seems to me he’s playing pretty well day in and day out. But perhaps I’m missing something or am just blinded by his stunning smile and pretty eyes! What are your thoughts on him? (er…as a player, not as a hottie)

I personally think

that Liles is the defenseman you build around on our team. I don’t think he’s overpaid by a longshot. People are complaining because his offense has declined, but while his offensive contributions have declined, his defensive capabilities have increased exponentially. Sure he still makes defensive mistakes here and there, but just about everyone but Ray Bourque and Bobby Orr does that.

by Selanne on Dec 12, 2008 7:55 PM MST up reply actions   0 recs

Ok, I concede.

I defended Altitude’s intermission lady last time. But you are right she is insufferable. I can understand (though I dislike) mistaking players names, but when you can’t properly say the acronym for THE LEAGUE you are covering, that is too much.

Well, you see...

When Wolski scored on the breakaway, the Avs just thought he was winning another shootout. Forgive them for not realizing there was the rest of the 3rd to play.

That’s gotta be it. Right?

Somebody name Tony decided that this game was more likely to go the Avs’ way if they spent the vast majority of the 3rd period in their own end and consistenly conceed the neutral zone.

I’m watching a stream out of Chicago and the Blackhawk announcer just mistook an official for a Blackhawk player and thought they had a breakaway. He corrected himself and the other announcer couldn’t stop laughing.

You know, if The Hobbit wants to rope-a-dope a forward into driving across the bottom of the circle and through the crease because it’s a low percentage play, he needs to actually HIT THE MOTHERFUCKER instead of backpedaling like a ’tard.

Wow, come on guys....
As always, feel free to go crazy doing whatever it is that you do during the game. The Avs have pledged to score one goal for every 100 comments in this thread.

Look at that 387 comments, that equals to 3 goals, exactly how much the Avs scored this game… And last game, there was 600+ comments, and we scored 6 goals that game… Eeery coincidence. We should try to make these game threads bigger, so that way the Avs win more. Come on now, let’s make the Detroit thread 1000+ comments! :D haha
