It Must Be Opposite Day

by Joe Dunman on Feb 7, 2008 12:06 PM MST in NHL News

From the NHL Closer section of Deadspin, just below a video featuring a completely naked, Conn Smythe-winning Ron Hextall:

Colorado goes into San Jose and beats the Sharks, 3-1, to climb within a point of third overall in the Western Conference. They've been missing their top three players for the last three weeks. Jose Theodore has better numbers than Rick DiPietro. People wear hats on their feet and hamburgers eat people.

For all the bitching and moaning we've all been doing this season, I guess it's important to remember that things could be oh so much worse. Hell, even without the Three Esses, the Avs have seven more points now than they had at the same time last season.

These hats are making my feet sweat.

And it's hard to type when a 300lb bacon-triple-cheeseburger is chasing you.

Anyone see this article

http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/column...

I know its a couple days old but if you do down near the end of the article at top story line 3, he talks about the Avs and Q being a canidate for coach of the year. I typically don't like Burnside (though not nearly as much as some people), so i'm a little biased. Is he crazy or are we?

Re: Anyone see this article

Burnside is scary prophetic. He mentions the three guys who scored last night as surprising contributors (but forgets to add SNW).

Burnside Prophesis

Plus the article was on monday. If it was posted today, Burnside might claim Hensick got the shaft in all-star voting. But I digress, it does make me think if I, or any of us, is too harsh on coach Q?

Not to hard

IMO, the team has excelled though this injury-riddled success DESPITE Coach Q., not because of him. The constant line-juggling, the special teams, the mistakes like Arny taking critical faceoffs, his insistence that Richie has no place on this team, when everybody knows he does, his defensemen-as-forwards experiment, his goalie-go-round, his under-use of Hlinka (IMO), etc. are all things that are coaching decisions that have bit the team in the ass more than they have generated in kind of benefit.
