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.
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.

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.
Red Wings Suck
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!

I have 2 Finals tonight
starting in about 30 minutes, so I’ll miss a large chunk of the game, but will attempt to get back to catch the end of the game. Like Tex said, I’m sure things will still be a smooth running ship around here. See you in several hours.

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.
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)
When hell freezes over, I'll play hockey there too!

I think a lot of it goes back to last season. He didn’t play that well last year. This year I have very few complaints….

-Mark Twain-
by Americanario on Dec 12, 2008 7:54 PM MST up reply actions
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.
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.
“Chris Stewart scored his second N.H. goal.”

Random Question time
If one of the new Avalanche players like Stewart walked down the street in his NHL jersey do you think people would recognize him.
"Two roads divurged in a wood, and I took the one less travelled by, and that has made all the difference"

Nope
I question how many players they would recognize. For example, I doubt many would know Svats or Wolski

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

Heh
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.
(Yes, I’m a lurker.)
Lurkers rock
welcome!

"The Blackhawks are just throwing everything at the net from every angle"
That works?? Go figure.

How does a Q coached team do that?
This is where Chicago is supposed to sit back and just wait to be scored on.

Game over
I can’t believe we lost. I’m really starting to hate Chicago, but it might just be jealousy that they’ve played their asses off in both games.
They call me Bubblegum.
As opposed to the Avs
who only played 1/3 of their asses off

0-2 against them this season. Not a good way to head into a 4 game road trip.

I would have been, but I got caught up celebrating my absolute domination of my finals by gaming with a 9 year old. Yeah, that’s right. I spent my late Friday night playing Smash Brothers with a 9 year old.

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
Go Avs!

Very Late comment here for whoever cares
You guys have made me laugh more than any other game threads combined. I will now try to make shots for all of you based on your nicknames (bubblegum already has his). Read you next time, and hope to be able to participate. (Savage, help me out here, what’s in a taz-o-rama?)
I blame it all on my goalie
I have no idea since I don’t drink but if I had to guess something that makes you destructive, quick and of course cute,modest and hilarious.
