Game 35 Spill-over: Evil Empire Goes Down Again!!!!!!

Another game against Detoilet, another win!!!!!!!

Here's your spill-over thread for the second consecutive win against the dreaded Detroit Red Wings!!!!! Let's talk about how bad Racroft was on the bench and how all the goals were Budaj's fault! Let's lament how we've wasted Arny on the third line for seasons (just kidding)!  Let's talk about how much of a monster Ryan Smyth was tonight!

Two things:

  1. Props to Boods with the hella-good saves in the shootout
  2. Boo to Terry Frei for the Holmstrom pick for #1 Star.

I’d like to know if Mike really stopped watching the game during the third or if he couldn’t help himself and kept watching…. :-)

Great game thread tonight guys and gals. I hope Tacogirl and her pappy had a good time. I didn’t watch any of the third period due to the impending choke-athon that appeared to be coming, but I tuned in for the last couple of minutes, all of OT, and the SO.

I’ll take any win and any point, but to go 2-for-2 against the Murder City Morons is especially sweet. Plus, that should help shut up all of the transplanted bandwagon jumping douche canoes who come to the Can and start Red Wings chants…

It helped that the Avs fans in attendance started to drown them out with their own chants. Was very nice to hear for a change.

Wonder if Tex had something to do with that?

I hear that too..

It’s been a long time since spontanious fan chants started up at the CAN. We need something original, but it was nice to hear “Lets go Avalanche” in the OT.

Granato’s interview was pretty funny. He talks about how great Smyth and Hejduk were and then he’s like “Arny was… uhh… He’ll understand it’s pretty easy to play with those two.”

Frei deserves a huge wedgie for picking Homer as the first star. 3rd maybe. I would have gone Smyth, Budaj then Wolski just for the shootout goal. Frei never has gotten the memo. You know the one. Fuck the Wings.

Except the Stars are “supposedly” picked somewhere in the last 3-4 minutes of regulation.

Still, never, ever pick a deadthing as the #1 star in a tied game at home!

Sorry i can’t participate much in my own blog or here this week. In-laws, including my 2-year old nephew, are here. Getting the computer and having time to use it has been kind of tough….

…oh yeah and the Xbox 360 =)

So the Avs' odds for winning the Cup are 40-1

I may just have to take a trip out to Vegas and place a bet!! I mean, if they can bring down the Dead Things twice in ONE SEASON and IN A ROW, the Cup can’t be that out of reach, right??

Anyone still here? Best. Game. Ever.

Anyone who says the rivalry is dead hasn’t been to The Can during a Wings/Avs game. Chants in the halls, in the game, in the elevator, fights after the game.

I had a total blast at the game tonight. Best thing about this game was the six or so guys in my row raising their glasses and screaming “Budaj!!!” after great saves. My gawd, my dad even started chanting “Budaj!!!” and has stated he is now a believer.

Thanks, Avs for giving my dad a great X-Mas present (and the rest of us too).

Just realized something….Redwings are 23-7-5 now and have 51pts already (Bastards).
How sweet is it that one of those seven regulation loses, and one of the five OT/SO loses have been against the Avs? Both have been with out Joe Sakic, and one with out Stastny.
