Happy Columbus Day, everyone. I don't know about you, but I will be celebrating the day by...sitting in my cubicle doing work just like every other day. I'll probably record the game, but I don't know if I'll get a chance to watch it until late Monday. So, don't expect a recap for this one from me (if someone wants to do a post-game wrap-up, I'll front-page it of course).
The Avalanche continue their Original Six tour today in Boston. The Bruins were down 3-0 with 8:01 remaining on Saturday but came back to beat the Islanders 4-3 in a shootout. The Avs also were involved in a 4-3 shootout on Saturday, but were on the losing end (to Chicago). While the Avs' long road trip has been documented already, the Bruins have yet to play on the road; today's game is the final game of a 5-game homestand to start the season. The B's have been, um, a shade inconsistent - they got shelled by Washington and Anaheim, they destroyed Carolina 7-2 and then had that wild comeback agaisnt the Islanders.
As of this writing (on Sunday afternoon), I'm assuming that Craig Anderson will get his 5th straight start for the Avs. After three starts by Tim Thomas, Tuukka Rask played on Saturday so I figure Thomas will be back in for the Bs. [Update: It's is Rask]
Today in Colorado Avalanche History: 2003: Unknown rookie Marek Svatos injures his shoulder, requiring surgery that forces him to miss the next 78 games. He would return in time to score 6 points in the playoffs, including one really big goal against Dallas.

Anyone here know where I can listen to this game online? I’m at work and won’t even bother trying to stream video, but would like to listen to the radio feed. I used to be able to find the radio feeds easily on nhl.com but haven’t been able to find them lately.

The truthiness of this statement cannot be overlooked.
"I know everyone has their own opinion, but your opinion is wrong. "
They’ve also got Derek Morris, Mark Recchi for a full season, and Marco Sturm (who has taken Kessel’s place on the top line with Savard and Lucic) is healthy.
If Tuuka Rask settles down in net and can be as good as Fernandez was in a 1b role for the Bruins last season, they’ll be just fine.
But, it’s tough to replace that explosive shot that Kessel has.

Who did the Avs get for Boychuk again?
Oh, Matt Hendricks. Just looked it up.
Boychuk had a huge year in the AHL last year and is the B’s 7th d-man this year. Hendricks is a 4th line grinder on the Avs this year. Too early to determine a trade winner?
by c0nquistad0rian on Oct 12, 2009 11:54 AM MDT up reply actions
Up till Hendricks made the team this year, it was universally poo-poo’d here at MHH. Given our upcoming D-man depth and our complete lack of forwards, maybe not so much on second thought.
"I know everyone has their own opinion, but your opinion is wrong. "
Kind of what I was thinking. And looking at the AHL stats of each player when they were traded, seems like a pretty even trade for the time.

Unlike the Tucker haters, I’m happy in the rare instances when Hannan does well. It’s good to see him not be a liability for the first time in 3 seasons. Of course, there’s no way in hell his play justifies his outrageous salary, and he’s pretty expensive for a 3rd or 4th defenseman on a fairly weak team (which he is), and he doesn’t add any discernible leadership that I can tell, but…
…really, I’m thrilled. It’s nice to see an exciting team for a change, and the improved play has certainly rubbed off on our highest-paid defenseman.

by David Driscoll-Carignan on Oct 12, 2009 12:17 PM MDT up reply actions
getting back to being nit-picky at intermission...
Defensemen usually play on the side corresponding to the handedness that they shoot (except when on the power play, when they often switch sides to open themselves up for one-timers as we saw Morris and Chara do). This really only applies to Foote as he’s the Avs only right handed defenseman. Teams usually have one or 2 left handed shooting defensemen playing the right side since right handed shooting defensemen (and NHL players in general) are a minority.
So, if we’re reading this left to right, it should be:
Quincey – Hannan
Liles – Foote
Clark – Cumiskey
power play point men are:
Liles – Quincey
Clark – Cumiskey

I’m sure this has been said, but last year’s team folds after blowing the first 2 goal lead. On a completely unrelated note, what a play by Galiardi. Need to keep up the effort in the third period, keep the puck out of the defensive zone.

No, I agree, because the Nords and the Whalers sold out a ton of their games. It’s also corporate sponsorship as well…and I’m not 100% sure Nashville has that. They are just like Hartford and Quebec.

Nashville has gotten much better corporate support since they were sold to a local owner who has a commitment to keeping them there.

IMHO...they have to start winning to survive.
when it comes to pro sports, the Southeast US isn’t really that huge into it….I live in the southeast…it’s one HUGE college community…so, they only care if you win.
Mile High Mayhem just another ho-hum Avs blog.
I grew up in Alabama, so I know about the college thing, especially the Tide and Auburn lemmings. But the Braves are big for baseball, the Titans are big, and the Preds are growing a loyal fanbase. The new ownership is turning things around, it’s just taking some time.
I for one believe they will be in the playoffs this year. I will quote Mike from this summer “I never thought I’d see a year when your team would be better than mine”. Just sayin’.
here’s the thing….
Braves: 11 division titles in a row
Titans: Consistently either in the playoffs, or within a game…
my whole thing is…the Preds HAVE to win.
Even the Hurricanes, who are constantly in the playoff race, have problems in down years.
and for every Braves and Titans, you have the Hawks, Bobcats, Falcons, and Panthers.
Mile High Mayhem just another ho-hum Avs blog.
Agree. They need to win to build a fan base, but they haven’t yet. Lets see how a few years of excellence does to build the sport.
Also Hockey seems to be able to get a better foothold with women than other sports. If they can win a little and get some ladies excited, there’s more potential (In my opinion at least) that Hockey will have better legs.

Over the past year or so (especially after Sakic night) I’ve become a bigger fan of the Avs mainly due to this site, but the Preds still feel like my regional home team. I swear every time I think I’m succeeding in distancing myself from the Preds and really moving on to the Avs, a story like this comes out and my stubborn streak kicks in.
I agree they need to win. I think they will given time. They have a great system, a great coach, and some really great young talent (much like the Avs this year). My whole thing is that people keep saying they’re done and hockey should pull out altogether. I think the success of the Save the Preds stuff a couple of years ago says that people still want the sport there.
Gotta go work now, and take a few deep breaths. Great game today!
To me it’s about long term potential. Nashville is breaking even now, but I think the potential is there. What else is in Nashville? Vanderbilt? UT is 3 hours away.
Forechecker makes some good points. Ownership sold off all the assets to the one good team they had. They finally have owners who understand the market , and understand what’s needed to actually build a franchise.
The problem with the Sunbelt teams was that the NHL, anmd some owners, thought you could throw 23 players on the ice and expect 18,000 to show up no matter what. The one’s who have built a fan base (Dallas, San Jose, Anaheim, Carolina) are doing fine.

Galiardi getting a lot of defensive responsibility in the final minutes: First taking Svatos’s spot on a line with Tucker and Duchene and now taking Wolski’s spot on a line with Stastny and Hejduk.

I went to a game in the Can against Ottawa when Chara was with them and one of my friends kept calling him Lurch. I thought it was funny.

Well, we lost a winnable game in Nashville, took a ‘for sure’ loss into the SO for the charity point, and then won another ‘for sure’ loss. Not a bad first three games whole looked at that way.

if we start kicking ass on the road….this will be the game I will look back on and say, this was the turning point.
We have a game that should be winnable tomorrow….

But the important part is they never gave up in any of the games. Blew some leads sure, but never gave up.

Stastny held pointless, Avs still win. Atrocious face off numbers for Stastny 8w, 17L 32% and Duchene 2W 5L 29%
Galiardi went 5W 1L 83%
O’Reilly 8W 5L 62%
in the face off circle. Liles a team worst -2 for the Avs.

How did Foote escape with less than a -2?

I thought at the time of the Smyth for Quincey deal…this made Liles expendable…it’s starting to show why that thought is true.

Like what he’s saying. Said something about playing a “system.” Didn’t go as far as throwing last year’s staff under the bus, of course, but I’ll make the leap anyway.

Think either Svats or Jones can move over to left wing?

Jones can
bu there’s no reason to, move Svatos down and play him on the PP more:
Wolski – Stastny – Hejduk
Galiardi – Duchene – Jones
McLeod – O’Reilly – Tucker
Stewie – Hendricks – Svatos
I like 'em!
Especially giving Svats PP time.

I’m not getting too caught up in the lines at this point. Like Mfured said below, the team’s starting to find some chemistry and messing with it now could do more harm than good.
Galiardi might’ve centered the fourth line, but he took spot shifts on the third, and as I noted, played LW on each of the top two lines in the final minutes of the game, probably for his defensive abilities. He also played a lot on the penalty kill and did very well in the face off circle (5W 1L 83%). AND he was third in ice time (16:22) amongst Avs forwards behind only Stastny (19:05) and Hejduk (19:05).
I wouldn’t exactly say that he was relegated to the fourth line. On the other hand, I wouldn’t want to relegate him to LW when he’s done well for himself so far at his natural position of center.
At this point, it’s probably better to let Svatos have his chances with Duchene and hope that he starts producing like he is so far on the power play. He only played 12 minutes this game. Those 12 minutes are better spent on the second line as opposed to the fourth (as last season demonstrated). Whereas Galiardi is showing that he can more than effectively play on the fourth line and pitch in elsewhere.
by c0nquistad0rian on Oct 12, 2009 1:56 PM MDT up reply actions
I agree with this 100%. everyone in the lineup seems capable of playing into more ice time in the game. in the past, if you started the game on the 4th line, you stayed on the 4th line

I agree Galiardi worked in his role, and he’s a decent defensive center, which has really surprised me. they’ve done a good job of getting him on the ice no matter what line he’s on. He’ll probably be the 3rd line center full time if O’Reilly gets sent back too.
But the lack of ES production from the 2nd line is intolerable. The staff has has gotta do something for Duchene, he’s playing great and there’s no one home on the receiving end of his passes. I don’t buy the “don’t play with chemistry” bit either, the team is already juggling lines and playing with chemistry — all lines but the top line were different today.
Agree
Jones and Duchene need to be on the same line tomorrow night. I’d like to see Stewart fill the LW role, but he’s been invisible lately and I would understand if someone else were there.

I don’t think that we will see this for a while yet. Til the end of the road trip, at least. Let Duchene work on his line for a bit, see if he and svats can get some chemistry. I just dont want anyone to make rash decisions.
I think Jones is the right choice, but I want to be sure that we don’t destroy lines’ chemistry just as its starting to gel. Theres a lot of season left.
Thanks Joe...

There is no reason, if we fix the faceoffs and forchecking, why we couldn’t get a mid-level seed in the playoffs.

I don’t know. I think we’re awfully thin offensively. You lose a Stastny or a Hejduk for an extended time and we’d be in a lot of trouble (IMO).

I went into this season with no expectations and I am trying really hard to stay that way. And DDC is right, if Stastny or Hejduk go down that’s not something this team is deep enough to cover.
I guess what I’m saying is let’s not get ahead of ourselves and enjoy this while it lasts. Although the odds of me taking my own advice are not especially good.
The thing is…the bottom 10 of the west is wide open….

So, Duchene in front of the net on the PP… can’t argue with the PP success but that just seems like the wrong place for him.
I agree

He’s created at least 2 goals by screening the goalie. there’s a Quincy and Liles one for sure so far.

I totally agree he’s screened the goalie.. but, is that the best use of his skill set? Like I said, can’t complain because the PP is working. It just seems like he’d be more effective at the wings making plays. But you really can’t put old man Hejduk in there for the physical stuff and Stastny you’ve got to have with his passing on the wings. The only alternative I can imagine would be Liles out of the first PP, Duchene at the point. Then you plug Jones in front of the goalie. His bread and butter was PP production under Sacco in LE.
The problem with moving Duchene is who do you put there? I like Jones as a candidate, but I like a second PP unit of Wolski, Jones, Svatos, Hannan and maybe O’Reilly/Liles too. To me that’s two PP units with some talent instead of all of our eggs in the top line just to put Duchene on the wing. Plus, going to the net on the PP is the easy job on the PP. No defensive responsibilities, just play hard and fight. Seems like a good fit for the new guy in the system.
"I know everyone has their own opinion, but your opinion is wrong. "
i agree it’s an odd place for him, but that PP unit is a terror. and he’s so strong on his skates, it’s not the worst place for him.
I agree with your agreement. Why not have somebody in front of the net who won’t get knocked around, can lift the puck easily over prone goalies and has the hand/eye coordination to do some nifty things with deflections and redirects?
