Colorado Avalanche @ Columbus Blue Jackets

7:00 pm ET / 5:00 pm MT
 Columbus Blue Jackets
22-19-1 January 13, 2009  20-18-4
45 points
 Nationwide Arena
 44 Points
8th in West
  Columbus, OH
 9th in West

 

What an exciting game. Two teams, both meekly fighting for the last playoff spot in the West, both depleted by injuries and both relying on so-far-lucky goalies who could easily implode at any moment.

The bright side of all of this mediocrity?  Wojtek Wolski, who has six points in his last three games since moving to the position of first line center for the Avalanche.  His secret?  He played center for years until joining the Avs, where the presence of Joe Sakic and Paul Stastny kept him relegated to left wing, a position he's obviously not really suited for.  Now, with the top centers out with extended injuries, and Tyler Arnason not really an option (on any line, really), The Baron is now at home in the middle of the ice where he belongs.  It's not hurting him much that his linemates are Ryan Smyth and Milan Hejduk, that's for sure.

Really, that's about all worth talking about.  Adam Foote is still out, so he won't get to experience the hearty boos from the jaded (and tiny) crowd at Nationwide Arena in Columbus.  I guess it's notable that Andrew Raycroft is getting his fourth straight start in goal, but I'm pretty much done talking about goalies this season.  Just keep winning, Razor, and I'll love you forever.

Again, you go with the goalie that gives you “W’s.” Since neither of our goalies are high caliber, super winning, consistent goalies…you go with what you have. I am usually not a fan of the “hot hand method…” but right now, what do you have to lose? The 8th playoff spot?

They should play Cumisky for that same reason. Get the kid some experience, and give us a chance to watch his wheels. When he goes coast to coast, it is fun to watch. Why not? is Tjarnqvist our future?

I should also mention that I never thought I would see the day when there was Columbus Blue Jacket trolls. I have seen them on other boards and in the “Denver Post” today. Thank you Adam Foote! Not only has your defense been mediocre, but you brought a new brand of annoyance, to my already troll-filled hockey life. :)

Yeah, I meant to say something about them (especially the clowns at the DP), but I didn’t want to encourage them.

Go Avs! Let's get some goals!

by Joe @ MHH on Jan 13, 2009 2:17 PM MST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

For some reason...

I really dislike Columbus. Maybe it’s the dumbass antics of Chimera, Tollefson and Westcott last year against the Avs. Or the incessant whining from the goalies about Ryan Smyth (as an added bonus, Hitchcock bitched when he was interviewed from the bench during the last game). Or the cannon. Or the homerist of the homer announcers (Jeff Rimer and Danny Gare). Or the crap about Foote. It’s no Detroit, but at least in my mind there’s a little rivalry kind of thing there.

In fact, I made an effort to record the Columbus feed tonight, just because I WANT to be angered by the Columbus Clowns. Somehow, I feel that will make the game more enjoyable to me.

as a new member

I’d like to say I’ve read allot of negative thought’s on this blog and wonder if any one had some more posative comment’s and insight’s to keep me interested? All this, this guy sucks that guy sucks is depressing.
I’ve got something that’s been on my mind for awhile, I’d like to hear some feed back on. Joe SaKic was injured in a snow blowing accident and that’s a non Hockey injury, does He get paid during his down time and rehab? My thought is the GM should ask Joe to retire and free up some cap money. Then hire Him back as a Coach of sorts so he can still put food on the table. Coach Joe Sakic sounds godd does’nt it? any feed back before the trade deadline?

There is humor and positivity, but lots of sarcasm too. If nothing else, you must at least enjoy the awesome nicknames for the players!

I think you’re going to see people get really down on some weeks and really up on other nights, depending on whether the Avs win or lose. I’ve been thinking it’s sort of funny. The week right after the Avs beat the Wings, everyone was really happy. Last week, it was hilarious — people were seriously pissed and were talking about how the players never play a full game, how they were ready to burn down the practice arena, how they wanted to trade Svatos (yeah, that’s you, JonHaven ;-), etc. This week, most people are ecstatic and optimistic again, because the Avs won three in a row.

I just decided this season not to get so down with the team because there is so much serious hurt going on in the world and in NYC (where I live) with the horrible economy. I can’t afford to expend negative energy on entertainment, no matter how much I love the Avs. That also means I’m not going to ga-ga after a couple of wins either.

by Pookie on Jan 13, 2009 4:01 PM MST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I try to be a realist

and sometimes that means that certain players "suck’ and that the team isn’t playing well. It’s not like I’m punching holes in doors when the Avs aren’t playing well and lose.

Positivity

Has been the major them around here for a week or so…sometimes it’s still hard to be positive about certain players, games, organizational move or lack there of. But even if it’s done with sarcasm, the tone has changed toward the positive.

THNX! Great post, and Great sentiment.

but times are changeing and so is the rest of the League The AV’s cant afford to take a wait and see approach and let the rest of the TEAM’s in our division pass us up. This TEAM needs to make some changes and soon. I cant listen to some of the fan’s talking about running off arnasen, or Tucker and then give Joe a free ticket. If Joe was a TEAM player, and I know he is. He would reevaluate what his goals are and maybe move into Coaching or the office. Look to the future, and make the right decision.

GO AVALANCHE! ! !

I disagree

There is no comparing Joe with Arnason or Tucker. Joe was a 100pt scorer two season ago (his last healthy season). Arnason and Tucker have done exactly what for this team?
Even last season Joe had 40pts in 44 games (just under a point per game). If he feels he can be healthy and wants to come back next season, I give him the benefit of the doubt.

Hmmpfff

You’re talking about a HOF’er barely two seasons removed from a 100 point season. He’s gonna go sometime but it should be on his own terms. End of story. I see your point, though.

AGREED! On his term's

and I’m not compareing Joe to Arneson and Tucker I’m talking about three positions that need to be filled that’s all. Joe is an Icon just like Mike Shanahan was to The Broncos but times change and sometimes it’s hard to let go.

GO AVALANCHE! ! !

P.S. I like the sound of Coach Sakic…….

Tactics without Strategy is the noise you hear before Defeat!

by monodono on Jan 13, 2009 8:18 PM MST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I disagree completely

About Joe leaving on his terms. If he’s in form, healthy and playing well then yeah he can stay and decide when he wants to leave, But if he’s not putting up points and out of form then he needs to be told when to leave. one of the Australian cricket players quit yesterday, He was one of the best opening batsmen of the last few decades but in his last 10 or so games(The entire cricket summer) he averaged 11 runs with the bat, he used to average 50 odd. The selectors needed to have the balls to tell him his time is up instead of letting him decide. Eventually he quit because he knew he was unlikely to be selected and now the thing most people will think about is how he stayed too long instead of what a geat player he was. The same thing will happen to Joe if he doesn’t know when to quit.

I want him to stay as long as he thinks he can help AND he’s puttng up numbers, If he can’t do that then we should let one of the younger guys play in his spot.

With Joe

I don’t think you have to worry about him staying past his time. He’s already said if he can’t produce he won’t stay. He wants to be a first line guy or nothing. I have a feeling his play when/if he comes back this season will determine next season. If he has an effect on the team he might stay. If he doesn’t, he’ll retire…

by Americanario on Jan 13, 2009 9:06 PM MST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Thats my point really

If he can produce for the next 50 years I’d love for him to stay, If he’s willing to play 3rd line minutes for 3rd line pay, he’d have to take a serious pay cut to justify him staying, then i’m happy with that. I just don’t think he should be allowed by either himself or the Avs to stay when he’s not producing and become a joke like Chelios, who at one time was probably great but it was so long ago no one remembers.

by monodono on Jan 13, 2009 8:20 PM MST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I'm interested in him as a coach

but I’m not sure how he’d do. He’s awfully soft spoken on the ice as a player, I’m not sure he’d be any different as a coach. The guys may play for him out of shear respect, but for how long. He might make a better assistant behind some one like Roy…you could have a good coach/bad coach effect.
