Well, ladies and gentlemen, we have ourselves a goalie carousel. We all hoped it wouldn't happen again, but it has. After 30 or so games of swearing that Peter Budaj was the starting goalie for the Colorado Avalanche and that Andrew Raycroft would merely step in here and there to give him a breather, head coach Tony Granato has scrapped that plan.
Tonight, when the Avalanche face the visiting Phoenix Coyotes at the Pepsi Center in Denver, Andrew Raycroft will be in net. It will be his third start in five games. That sounds like a little more work than a designated backup is probably expected to get. You'd assume Raycroft was getting the call because Budaj has lost his last three starts. But nooooo, that's not it at all:
"He’s coming off two very solid games," said Granato. "Peter [Budaj] has been very good for us all year, so it has nothing to do with Peter not playing well. It’s just the fact that Andrew went into two tough buildings and found ways to win."
Right. Is the Pepsi Center now a "tough building?" If it's not, then I'm failing to see how Granato's statement has anything to do with his decision to play Raycroft at home tonight. And let's not even mention that Budaj has been left out to dry by his team a lot lately, especially on Sunday when the Avalanche pretty much failed to show up at all against the Panthers, getting shut out 0-3 in a building where they had always enjoyed much success. Budaj's save percentage was .910 despite the pathetic loss.
So Raycroft gets the start, but this totally isn't a sign of any controversy or the beginning of another Quenneville-esque goalie carousel that always worked so well in the past.
Since I can't watch Raycroft play without breaking into a cold sweat, I'll be skipping this game tonight. I hope it goes well. Unfortunately, if it does, Peter Budaj might never get to play goalie again.

And, the number one sign of adesperatehorrible NHL coach: throwing a goalie at the non-producing offense problem.

I can’t believe the number of idiots out there still running around yelling 5-1-0 as reason to play Raycroft. They refuse to look at the fact that he, Detoilet aside, he hasn’t beaten a team with a winning record. They also don’t want to except that Budaj’s numbers are still better. Or that Raycroft has gotten most of his games after the Avs failed to support Budaj and probably got chewed out in the locker room. All they see is wins, wins, wins.
But oh well, since when do we expect reason to win out.
Raycroft is 0-2-0 in his career versus the Coyotes…I thought about skipping this game, but I want to be informed if I have to bash him more. I may need to start drinking in order to get through the game though.

I’ll listen to abit of it, then hopefully I’ll have other stuff to do and miss the demise of Raycroft’s Vezina chances. Reading his supporters opinions you’d hink he was the favourite to win it, Or it would be out of him and Osbad because they have such good winning records and thats all that matters, apparently.

Start Raycroft and the Avs automatically win win the game and thus make the playoffs and win the Cup. He’s that good and Toronto had no clue what they were doing.

Looking at TG’s quote I’m really confused. Two tough buildings? I’ll give him the Joe Luios is tough(to make it out alive) but since when did the St Petes Times Forum become tough.
Andrew went in and ‘found’ ways to win. Since when has he been a one man team, It’s not like he entered the rink and did everything. He had so much help from the D it’s not funny. he hasn’t stolen anything, except playing time from a better goalie.

Ok Kids
I realize we are all a bit pissed off still about the Florida game. After tonight, there won’t be a game until Saturday so I, for one, chose to enjoy this game seeing as it will be like 4 long days until we beat the Wings again.
Red Wings Suck
Sweet
I get to be here mere minutes before the start of the game, but am forced to abandon my post in the next 360 seconds or so to move on to other things. Enjoy the game for me. Sorry I still suck my fellow game threaders.
They call me Bubblegum.
Damned if we do and damned if we don't
I really, really want people to see how Raycroft truly plays when he doesn’t have the entire team working hard to keep pucks from getting anywhere near the net, yet I really, really want the Avs to win cuz…well….winning is fun.
sigh

I think the Caps have realized that. When Johnson becomes starter over a $4.5million dollar player and there’s calls for Varlamov to replace Theo as backup theres some serious problems, none that will surprise Theo though.

Hopefully the Avs come back and win after he gets pulled. aycroft puts me in a tough spot. I want him to get shelled so people see he’s not that good and finally give Boods the respect he deserves but I want the Avs to win. Also I want to see aycroft play well in a BACKUP position.

Only because it was a possible Avs goal. If it was reversed I doubt they show the replay, although it would have gone straighjt through Raycrofts glove anyway.

To me a point shot would be the best thing for a defenseman, It’s the only offense they can really get and when youve got a camper like Smyth theres no reason not to shoot.

That doesn’t bother me all that much as long as he stays focused during play. You can’t expect goalies to stay focused on the game for a full 60 minutes, he needs to switch off during breaks in play and if thats what he chooses to do good for him.

Of curse it’s his fault. He couldn’t stop the rest of the team being fatigued and he selfishly expected them to play. He should have been able to walk ont the ice by himself and still win 5-0.

This is the extent of his remarks....
The game started off dubiously for Andrew Raycroft. A long, stoppable-looking slap shot from Phoenix forward Joakim Lindstrom eluded Raycroft’s catching mitt. The short-side goal made it 1-0 Coyotes at the 4:39 mark
The Coyotes tied it at 6:48 of the third, on an Olli Jokinen goal. Raycroft allowed a big rebound to a Peter Mueller shot from the right side, punching the shot away with his right blocker.

I do have to question how this information is so fast in being released. All other injuries seem to need an MRI the next day yadda yadda. Why so fast with the newsall the sudden? Where’s the pregnancy? The severed hand? I demand more speculation dammit!

Well you know AD practically lives in the Avs locker room right? He is privy to all their inner most secrets and thoughts. How else does he know they don’t trust Budaj…

I can’t wait for the annual 24 hour marathon of “A Christmas Story”. Once a year, I can’t get enough of that movie. Or “Scrooged”.

One thing I never understood was the Wizard of Oz references in that movie. I fail to see how Wizard of Oz is a holiday movie in anyway way, shape, or form. It must have been released around X-Mas?

It used to play on TV every Christmas. I’ve no idea why other than it being a family movie and with the family gathered around…?? A stretch, I know.

The 2 greatest wizard of Oz parodys are the Scrubs 100th episode and Futuramas Anthology of Interest. they both put the original to shame.

Just text my friend, a Kings fan, about Stastny
her response? “That team is cursed.” It got me thinking…I know people want to let it go, but for those of us that believe in Karma…didn’t all the suckiness with the Avs start the same year as the Moore-Bertuzzi incident?? Maybe the Avs need to do right by Steve to get the mojo back. Just a thought.

Its mostly just the uniproned years that have been cursed. Maybe they should petition the NHl to go back to their moutain design jerseys.

Hate to harp on about it
but I need some help working out this logic.
Your a DONKEY!!!!! My hockey skill and knowledge would put most to shame, sorry you might not like it but its a fact!! I dont care if the goals were his fault he let in 2 more than the guy he was playing against , notice that never happens to Raycroft?? Of course the team lacked passion and urgency like I already told ya the team has lost faith in this BUM!! Wake up DONKEY!!
It claims that it doesn’t care if the goals were Boods fault or not, just that he let more in than the other guy, sounds like an offensive problem more than goaltending.
I also like the arrogant I’m better and smarter than you at hockey quote, which explains why its obviously in the NHL as the first player-coach in post lockout histroy instead of commenting on a newspaper site.

It’s in explainable…that’s why he/she starts off with name calling and then building themselves up. Because in reality they have no argument…..
