Avs Vs. Blue Jackets GDT

Alright Avs fans. It's about 45 minutes to game time and there is no thread yet on the front page. So in event one doesn't get posted by game time, here's one. If one does post in time, no worries. If needed, we could use this as an overflow thread as needed. Or delete this. Whatever.
Preview:
From the Avalanche main page (because I'm lazy):
The question for Steve Mason isn't when he will lose. It's when will a puck finally get past him.
The rookie will try to extend his franchise-record shutout streak to four games as the Columbus Blue Jackets open 2009 by continuing their season-high six-game road trip against the Colorado Avalanche on Friday night.
Mason has just 20 games of NHL experience under his belt since being recalled from the minors on Nov. 4, But in less than two months, he's already started to rewrite the record book for the Blue Jackets (17-16-4).
After giving up a goal late in a 3-0 loss to the Kings on Dec. 23, the 20-year-old Mason blanked Philadelphia and Los Angeles before beating Anaheim 2-0 on Wednesday to push his shutout streak to 182 minutes, 8 seconds.
"It was a pretty routine game for myself. The guys played great in front of myself and made it real easy," said Mason, now 12-7-1 with a league-best 1.69 goals-against average. "You try not to pay attention to it and think about a shutout because you don't want to jinx it. It was nice to get, but obviously the most important thing is the win. And right now I'm just trying to get as many wins as I can."
Mason, who's never faced Colorado, is the first rookie goaltender to notch three straight shutouts since 1989-90. He's one of only seven rookie NHL goaltenders since 1989-90 to record consecutive shutouts.
With five shutouts, Mason is more than halfway to the club record for shutouts in a season, set in 2007-08 when Pascal Leclaire posted nine. Mason still has a long way to go to equal the all-time rookie record for shutouts in a season as Tony Esposito tallied 15 for Chicago in 1969-70.
To extend its home winning streak to a season high-tying four games, Colorado (19-17-1) must solve Mason and try to bounce back from a lackluster loss while trying to re-establish its dominance at Pepsi Center over the Blue Jackets.
Colorado last won four in a row in Denver from Nov. 26-Dec. 9, and is 11-6-0 at home.
But one of those defeats was a rare one to Columbus. On Oct. 30, Fredrik Norrena made 30 saves, and the Blue Jackets scored three second-period goals in the 4-2 win.
The Blue Jackets had been 1-12-1 all-time in Colorado coming into that contest.
On Wednesday, Colorado jumped out to an early lead, but Peter Budaj couldn't make it stand up in a 3-1 loss at Phoenix. He allowed two goals to Peter Mueller in a 2:05 span of the second period, and finished with 26 saves.
Budaj, though, has won five of his last six home starts to improve to 8-5-0 there. He replaced Andrew Raycroft in the October loss to Columbus, turning aside all three shots faced.
Raycroft had only 10 saves through two periods of that game in his only loss this season. The former Boston and Toronto netminder has won his last four starts and is 6-1-0 with a 2.95 GAA in 2008-09.
T.J. Hensick scored for Colorado in the loss to the Coyotes. With Joe Sakic (herniated disc and broken fingers) and Paul Stastny (broken forearm) expected to miss extended time, coach Tony Granato said he expects more from the second-year center, who has just two goals in 24 games.
"He's strong on his skates and gifted offensively," Granato said. "We're going to need him to score goals for us so it was good to see."

So according to the Altitududes, TG wanted the Avs to come and play an intense 1st period. Which they did. After 10 minutes. What about the rest of the game?
Pulling Boods… well we have Raycroft as a back up so what do you do. But still, Budaj had a somewhat bad game. He did play well but the more goals, the worse he played.

Yeah
Well when the tem gave up in front of him, he played worse.
Seriously I thought the team gave up after goal 4, and the only goal he could have stopped was the 5th one (the breakaway through his legs)

It’s that 5-hole goal that I also thought looked pretty stoppable.
by Pookie on Jan 2, 2009 9:47 PM MST up reply actions 0 recs
Yeah
That one was questionable, but the Avs completely gave up before that, and the guy came in, from the wing for god’s sake completely untouched on a breakaway. Good god that may be questionable goaltending, but it’s unquestionably piss-poor defense

Calgary (Phaneuf AND Bertuzzi) and the Wings are on my list too — whomever is playing those two are my favorite teams of the moment. Although East Coast — I don’t really like the Flyers or the ‘Canes, but it’s not on anything like the same level as Flames or Wings.

It was all that stuff when the GM Bobby Clarke was was fighting with Lindros and his parents, and then he ditched his #1 goaltender (was it Boucher?) without telling head coach Hitchcock (who was asked by the press about it and he had no idea). It was all so undignified and kinda nasty in a petty, low way. I think also I’ve lived in NYC long enough that I became a fan of all the NY hockey teams, and there is a rivalry between the Rangers and the Flyers. Also they took Peter away; ‘least thaz what I say. I didn’t follow the Flyers when Forsberg joined them but my sister did and she said there was a nastiness about the media and the fans if something didn’t go 100% perfect with the Flyers. Plus I hear the Flyers fans “make rioting Wings fans look classy.” Enough said. I know this is rambling and semi-incoherent but whatev…I just finished my second glass of wine.

The Younglings stuff was terrible, because Luke was what, 22 when he started, and they thought Anakin was too old at like 5. Seriously!?! I know it was a last chance and all, but no one thought that one through.
But nothing will ever, EVER be as poorly thought out as the movie Signs i don’t think there can even be a debate to this.

But the younglings should have been a little older in the newer films to make it more believable then. Like 11 or 12. They were just too young. But i think that’s kind of a minor complaint to be honest, just one that bugged me.

Except Anakin shows (however bitchy) the conflict in all of us. Unless you have led a totally sheltered life, his anger, teenagerness is in all of us. Never mind the hardships he went through. He took it to a bad place – that’s the difference.

LEdger and Nicholson
I don’t think their Jokers were comparable, because they played them completely differently. Even though they were the same character they were just too different.
Which really is the mark of two great actors, they took the same role and made it their own. Awesome stuff by both.

But Not Real
He gave at least two different explanations of the “why so serious”. Which one was the truth, if any. In the other Batman, you could easily tell why JN was the Joker and had a vengeance. Batman did it to him.

by texacogirl on Jan 2, 2009 10:44 PM MST up reply actions 0 recs
Agree
I thought Ledger’s was more real, but Comic book movies when the first Batman movie came out weren’t supposed to be real. People still saw comics as the old Adam West batman style, with “POW” and “BAM” and as cartoons.
Nicholson did a fine job taking that mentality and expectation and making it into an incredibly believable villain. I mean it paved the way into making Comic book movies a little darker and a little more real-life like.
Before that they were either Super villains like the Superman movies series or Campy like the old Batman
That’s not to take anything away from LEdgers performance, which I think deserves an Oscar. They were both great and both were different renditions of the same general character. Both awesome performances.

Okay...
Fire up your Wii, and on the main screen with all the channels, click on the bottom right icon called “Wii Message Board”. From there, click on the pen & paper icon and go into your Address Book. From there, you will see your Wii Console Number. This is commonly referred to as a “friend code”. In order to “friend” someone else, you have to send them that number. For example, mine is 7214 7509 3816 4033. In order to add my Wii, you click Register and add their number. In order to add them, though, your Wii needs to be connected to the internet. If you have a wireless router, this can easily be setup.

This is the real reason I don’t ever use my real name.
There’s too much identiy theft out there, and not putting my name out there is just a good idea. Also
Also I don’t ever want a future, or current, boss googling my name and using my writing as a barometer of my work. I’m not ashamed of anything I say, but there’s some off-color stuff that has no bearing on my professional ability that I wouldn’t want used against me.

I stayed up until 3:15 AM last night playing Assasin’s Creed when I wanted to go to bet around 11.
In my defense, I didn’t realize it was that late.

My friend, you never realize it’s that late when in a game. Assassin’s Creed is an awesome choice, btw. NHL 09 is extremely deep as I’m hoping you’ve found out, and XBLA is very, very awesome.

NHL '09
I started on rookie or the lowest just to learn the control, then moved to Pro. I’m already a 1st line Avs defensive pairing (despite the fact I suck at actual defense). I don’t know whether to start over, keep going, or create a whole new position/team
So i’m delaying a decision by playing a different game (I am perfect for government.)

I wish they had more options for defensemen. They should have 2 “Defensive-Defensemen” (Positional, like Hannan and Hard Hitting like Foote) and 2 “Offensive Defensemen” (Puck Carrier, like Liles and Booming shot, like…. ummmm… hmmm… have to go to someone not on the Avs for this one… Souray).

Yeah, they did feel a little bit limited, but considering this is still EA making the games, albeit the very impressive and un-EA like EA Canada, I’m extremely happy with the effort. The online game play is also amazing, as each person can control their very own version of themselves out there. Very fun stuff.

Gave up on Madden for a lfew years, but that’s how i treat Sports games. I can only buy one sport once every 3 ears or so. NHL ’10 will be too similar to ’09 to drop $50 on, no matter what.
I will probably buy Madden ‘10 but they always had the same problem. Defense was too hard and there’s always one play that someone can find an exploit no matter what defense. That’s no fun.

One of these days, head into a gaming store (if you have a Play N Trade near you, that’s probably the best place. They’re typically waaaaaaaaay nicer people there) and see if there are any Wii games that might interest you. Silly fun like Mario Kart might be your bag, and it’s an online game that we could rock together, or a game like Animal Crossing where you live in a town and do random things and visit other people’s towns might be up your alley.

Few years ago I was playing pickup basketball and my 5’5’’ frame couldn’t handle my Shaquilian sized effort on the court and I shredded my left ankle. Unfortunately, it wasn’t shredded badly enough for the doctors to want to operate on it, so they told me to go to physical therapy and the muscles would grow around it or something. It still doesn’t make a lot of sense to me. When ligaments are frayed, do they just magically grow back together or something? Not as far as the medical community is concerned, so unless I finish off the tears in my ankle, I’m stuck with flat tire for a while longer.

The only thing Forsberg didn’t excel at was staying healthy. So the comparison is sad. One of the things that made Shaq so great (despite his footwork) was his overall size. Thus, an effort to match his size would be a good thing, whereas a comparison to Forsberg in terms of health would be…not so great. That’s all.
