[David here, doing some last-minute pinch-hitting for Joe.]
Remember at the start of the season, when we thought the Avs were going to score 300+ goals this year, and the lowly Canucks would be lucky to hit 200? Yeah, funny how things work out, right? The Canucks, with 11 goals from reclamation project Kyle Wellwood, have 82 goals in 27 games - 15 more than our beloved Avs.
Vancouver so far is the surprise of the division, currently sitting in first. I don't have to tell you where the Avs are sitting.
In happier news, the Canucks are without Roberto Luongo. Vancouver is expected to start some guy named Cory Schneider (not to be confused with this guy or even this guy). I'm not going to lie, I've never heard of him - I guess he got his career win on Friday against the Wild. Sounds like we're getting set up for failure...

Wellwood
Wasn’t he that fat guy everyone was making fun of at the start of the season. Got bought out by the Leafs or something.

It certainly appears that way…Lets just hope we don’t add to it by giving this guy his first career shutout.

Chances are we will. The Avs have extended their off-ice charity to now include on-ice acts as well. They enjoy giving people/teams/jerseys their first goal/points/wins.

I’m endorsing our charity work, thats kinda positive. Although my mates did take a vote and awarded me ‘Most Negative Person Ever’ award so that could be why my positivity is generally negative.

It’s about a little courtesy and respect. When I am a fan of the Away team, I do not get all obnoxious about my team, even if they do beat the Rangers at Madison Square Garden. :-)
I can’t stand how the Wings fans wear all their ugly gear at Pepsi Center and do as they do, as if they FU**ing own the place. That kind of behavior sometimes merits a drink thrown in their face. Just sayin.

I'm a fan of the away team
a lot of times, so I’ve learned how to act and not act. At the same time, I don’t at all take kindly to people treating me like shit, especially over something ultimately trivial like hockey. Of course, I should do a better job of not letting people get to me over something ultimately trivial like hockey.

Wearing the Away team’s jersey is no big deal, you want your guys to see that they’ve got support — it’s just the way the Wings fans seriously act like the Pepsi Center is their barn. It’s disgusting.
I went to a Caps game at Capital Center a couple of years ago ’cause I really wanted to see Ovechkin play. I scored like a 2nd row seat except it was all Leafs fans around me. They were all wearing Toronto jerseys and very loudly cheering the Leafs but they were NOT being assholes like Wings fans.
by Pookie on Dec 7, 2008 6:50 PM MST up reply actions 0 recs
The Wing sjust want to have the best arena in the NHL, and to achieve that they have to destroy every other arena.
I don’t mind away fans at sport, as long as they’re not complete assclowns about it. I’ve had good conversations with opposing fans at some event because they know how to act. I’ve also been close to a few fights with opposing fans because they act like dicks.

I like to talk shit, just not to the fans or be a dick. But when I went to the buffalo game, I did mention rather loudly that any team that didn’t keep briere and drury didn’t deserve to win. At all. fortunately no one wanted to mention that my team din’t keep drury either, and I didn’t get into any fights.

Me neither. I like to wait until I know its going to be a close game. I went to a detroit game and some avs fan tried to talk to a wings fan by saying something along the lines of “when are the red wings going to show up”. the fool didn’t realize it was 3-0 wings until their fan shouted “3 goals ago jackass”… even I had to laugh.

Mines $150 but that hasn’t stopped me smashing it on the ice/posts or anything else i can hit. Neither has the fact they’res only about 4 other goal sticks to choose from in WA.

If we were going to catch a break that was not going to be the goal to get it on. Not only was it knocked in by a hand, the hand/stick was above the crossbar at the time. Double whammy.

We have no idea what we're doing
it’s the most tentative powerplay I’ve ever seen. We can’t control the puck in the zone, and when we do, we know HOW to setup position wise, but there doesn’t seem to be any concept of what to do.

Anaheim's new affiliate
big pig for a mascot. Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid. I talked to one of the players earlier this year when they were in Houston, and HE said most of the team hates it, too. That made me laugh.

I’m not surprised, It’s an ugly logo, on an ugly jersey, with ugly colours. It ruins the entire AHL logo set, most AHL teams have pretty sweet logos IMO but the CHops bring everything down.

Yeah i like that logo as well, first Aeros game i ever saw was back in the IHL. It was Aeros vs the All stars after the Aeros won the cup. I always liked that all star game concept, I’d like to see the NHL do that. My favourite team was the Orlando Solar Bears, the polor bear wearing sunnies was awesome. Probably one of my favourite sporting logos ever.

The jerseys
got a lot uglier when they became a Minnesota affiliate and adopted their Christmas tree colors. The logo is still the shit, though. There is a minor league basketball team named the “SkyForce”, which I think is awesome, but their logo is a super letdown.

This is ridiculous
Why is Granato putting Leopold on the ice for a PK? His biggest weakness is clearing the puck out from the front of the net, and what happens on that goal? Leopold is standing there chillin, presumably thinking about the good ole days growing up in Minnesota playing pond hockey where everyone thought he was so awesome. Damnit.

Is there anyone on the Avs who can clear the puck. With the exception of Jones and Budaj it seems like all want to be back playing pond hockey.

Avs fail to play the last 3:00 of the period and they are down a goal. Could have been more with the Nucks controlling the zone those final 3:00.

Do the Avs realize they're losing?
Their intensity level is not matching Vancouver’s even though they’re behind, and there is no jump to anything they do. Its like they’re going through the motions to get out of there. I realize it’s the end of the period and it’s their job to collapse, but COME ON.

Avs never try when they’re a goal down. the most they do is wait for Boods to get pulled and make weak efforts with the extra attacker, before generally giving up the EN goal. They have no desire to win.

Yes. I try not to be a complete negative nancy on this site, but the way they are playing now is why I think they need to rebuild and get a new coach. No excuse for an NHL team to play like this on a regular basis.

I wouldn’t say never for the losing team, you start doing that and eventually you end up with crap like the Conn Symthe only going to the winning team regardless of how good someone was on a losing team, and thats just stupid. If the guy scores a hattrick and dominates the game for the losing team and is the only reason it was close give hime the first star, or if the goalie makse 40odd saves and keeps them in the game they deserve it. But not when they’re were other players who deserved it more on the winning team like Boods.

I’ve got very little respect for Brodeur, hes a great goalie but he seeems like a tool. He’s so arrogant, but not the outright arrogance Roy had. Brodeur trys to be the humble modest kinda person when in reality he’s incredibly arrogant and it annnoys me. I got angry when he was talking about Lundqvist and said something along the lines of “I don’t like his style of play, it’s too weird and not traditional” and thats coming from someone who prides himself on the fact he has a hybrid stytle and thinks it makes him better than everyone else. Who the hell is he to criticize another goalies style. A goaltenders style is always a personal choice and as long as he keeps the puck out of the net who cares what he does as long as it doesn’t involve throwing your stick and diving to the ground.

Yeah, his book put me off him so much. Especially the part where he was bitching about Roy “Demanding” to play every game in Naano and then went it came time for Brodeur to start in Salt lake he did the same thing and would always be talking to the coaches. Even when he wasn’t scheduled to start and Luongo was he’d say he wanted to be backup and sit on th bench to offer advice and he’d say that he felt bad for Turco and Luongo that they didn’t play every game but they had future olympics they’d play in and he did the exact same thing Roy did. I don’t think Turco was even dressed for a single game that olympics because of Brodeur.

I think mostly because of his overall play, although I guess that would have made lappy a candidate too, but its gotta be nice knowing you can just sit him and chalk up a goal in the first slot. Maybe it doesn’t deserve a star, but bernier? I mean he lost, and its not like he was the only reason the canucks were in it… ok nevermind, he got two, and probably was the only reason.
