Colorado Avalanche at Philadelphia Flyers, Dec 16, 2008 5:00 PM MST

| Colorado Avalanche |
7pm ET / 5pm MT |
Philadelphia Flyers |
| 15-14-1 | December 16, 2008 | 16-7-6 |
| 31 points |
Wachovia Center |

| T-9th in West |
Philadelphia, PA |
4th in East |
By all accounts, this is a game the Avs shouldn't win. Tonight, just like last night when they faced the Red Wings, Colorado is up against a vastly superior team who excels at both ends of the ice even without consistently amazing goaltending. The Philadelphia Flyers have won their last four games, scoring 17 goals during regulation and overtime in that span. The Avs are barely above .500 again and their offense sputters and chokes like my old '89 F-150. But I don't mean to drag crap from Detroit into this preview, because that was last game and this one involves crap from Philly.
The Flyers have not suffered from a lack of punch this year. They are one of five teams who have scored 100 goals, while forwards Simon Gagne, Mike Richards and Jeff Carter are all near the top of the league in points scored. They also have one of the best power plays in the league, second only to the Wings and best in the East.
But where the Fly Guys (copyright pending) aren't top notch is their defense. In one less game than the Avs have played, the Flyers have allowed two more goals against. And remember that the Avs aren't a very good hockey team. So that's bad for Philadelphia. And neither of their goalies, Martin Biron nor Antero Nittymaki, are really worth a damn. So there's that.
The Avs are still suffering from injury problems, but it shouldn't be much longer before Ben Guite and Marek Svatos are back to full strength (I hear). The rest of the team is still hanging in there (Sakic excluded, of course). And Peter Budaj is fully rested after getting spared the previous night's incompetent and unimaginative heckling from the savage barbarians who now only fill some of the seats at Joe Louis Arena. But again I digress to Murder City. Sorry.
The one really reassuring fact about the matchup is that the Avs have owned the Flyers in their own building lately. Over their last ten visits to Philly, Colorado has an 8-1-1 record. The only wild card is that Peter Budaj has never faced them, ever.
The game starts at 7 PM Eastern, 5 PM Mountain. I might actually be around for this one, since I'm out of school until early January. So keep an eye out, you yokels.
ESPN preview.

Back to reality
Can’t…..let…..one…..game…..raise expectations….too….much. Ugh. Ok. I’m alright.
Lets see if the Avs can gain some momentum. Now would be a good time for a streak while the other NW teams are within striking distance.

I was thinking before the road trip
That 2 wins — 4 points — would be very successful, considering the back-to-backs and the caliber of opponent. If the Avs play as hard tonight as they did last night, they could get the 2 wins right off the bat…and hopefully at least get a split in Florida. That would be outstanding.

Theres something seriously wrong with a schedule that has an NHL goalie, who admittedly has been a backup for most of his career, has never faced a team in his 3 or 4 year career.

I thought he coached very poorly last season. The goalie rotation was botched all season and he had favorites and least favorites that really affected the teams play.
That and the guy couldn’t go 2 shifts without completely changing the lines. I think it really affected the Avs play.

Yes, I was going to mention the Q thing too.
Last year, I was excited to see both the Pens and the Sabres in the outdoor game. This year, I am “Whatev.” I have no desire to look at players from either team.

yeah, I’m the same. Although if you replaced the Dead Wings with another team it would be better, I reckon it should be between a western and eastern conference team, maybe the previous stanley cup finalists. it would add a bit more to the game.

Beaker – that’s all he ever says. Bunson says “Beaker! – To the Lab!”
Beaker says “mee mee” and bops away to the lab.
Mork mork… better Muppet reference?

I haven’t seen any Muppets in a while, and I was just totally cheating and googling, and zomg I totally remember Beaker. Freaking adorable.

Good use of a foreign language – Canadian
or Scottish. Take your pick, they come from the same place.

Check out “Glue” too. Same author, new set of Scottish scrubs with references to Spud, Sick Boy, and Renton. Good book. The only reason I knew about Glue was talking to a Scottish priest at Oxford in my swing through England. The man was well versed in all things Tainspotting ect. I was amazed.

Fair enough!
I like Bubblegum. It makes me laugh. My other nickname when I was younger was “Clank”. Bubblegum has a nicer ring to it.

That's exactly it
actually. I played soccer and had a penchant for post rattling. When I started playing hockey, well, let’s just say sometimes it seemed like I was more interested in hitting the post than scoring.
/sigh

At least you were getting shots that close instead of “10 feet wide if the net”.
Even Ovie hit both posts tonight before he scored the GWG.

I’m assuming that’s exactly what the Flyers did tonight – taunted them, got under the skin – seeing all the fights and scrums in the second. They played us physical and our soft team couldn’t really deal.

Well Tex
I have some unruly guests to tend to. You’ll probably be long gone by the time I return, so send me an e-mail sometime. I think it’s in my profile, but I’m not sure.
Savage, since you’ve grown quiet (can’t believe I just typed that in all seriousness), I’ll assume you’re playing NHL 09, which means you better be leading the Panthers to the Cup, only to lose to Colorado.

Sorry, but there is no way that’s an isolated Simpson’s reference. &(*( have been saying stuff like that since the beginning of time.

The episode where Bart skips school and sees the waiter get beat up at Mayor Quimby’s kids birthday. In court at the end he says “I don’t need/have to explain myself to the likes of you” just before he falls out of the window. And as a general rule assume 95% of what i say is sarcastic unless its specifically aimed at someone and you should be fine.

There really is no explanation, one of my mates i used to work with always called me a muppet and it stuck. I just like using it because everyones reaction is the same, they have no idea what I mean and it amuses me.

I don’t know if you’ll see this, and I kinda hope no one ever meets me after this, but I had a few friends in college who called me beaker. That made me laugh my ass off earlier when I read that it one of your other nicknames. But for me it was my hair.

I was finally able to find some Cocoa Porter (distribution problems?) and am thoroughly enjoying it. Thanks again.

it was supposed to be Eric The Red and there is another whole long story behind that name, but for some reason that didn’t work. oh well. If you live in Denver any of the bigger liquor stores (argonaut, applejacks, twistys, daveco, etc) should have the cocoa porter. But I just brew it, so what do I know. look up the website (i think we have a list there) or call 3-567-4419 during the week and ask for Jim, He’ll be able to tell you the closest place to get it or put you in touch with the distributor who can also tell you that. Or if you ride you can always get some at the brewery on your way home. (and I really can’t think of any good reason to live in this state if you don’t ride. ok, maybe a few, but…).
PS you’re welcome again.
