Boston? Check. Chicago? Half-check. Toronto? Check. Next up on the Original Six tour is the Montreal Canadiens who, I'm told, have a storied history. It's the home opener for the Habs; they're the only NHL team without a home game so far. For the Avs, they've collected 5 out of 8 points so far on the trip. That's not too shabby, but we'll take more.
Carey Price will start for Montreal. He, like his team, is off to a so-so start this year. We don't know who the Avalanche starter will be tonight (might want to get used to that). I'll update that info when we get it, but right now I'm guessing Budaj (just a hunch). [UPDATE: Hunch was wrong this time. Anderson gets start #7]
Both teams will have a new defensemen in the mix. For the Avs, Ryan Wilson is expected to make his NHL debut. He came over last year in the Jordan Leopold trade and, for kicks, will wear Leopold's old #44. Wilson is not afraid to drop the gloves, as he has 8 fights in basically one season in the AHL. The Canadiens have brought up Shawn Belle from Hamilton to give the club a better stay-at-home defensive presence. Belle played 9 games with the Minnesota Wild a couple of seasons back.
Tonight's game will be on Altitude following Tuesday's bizarre and confusing absence.
As I hinted at on Thursday, I'm experimenting a bit with Previews / Live Threads. For now, the preview is going up earlier in the day, and the live thread will be up an hour before game time. I'll also post (or promote) a quick post-game reaction after the game is over to give us all some fresh ice for our gloating / venting. As always, I'm open to feedback on all of this.

More bizarreness from Tuesday
If you look at the magnetic schedule handed out Opening night it indicated the game wouldn’t be on altitude (despite there being indications it would be). I looked at the rest of the schedule and I only saw one other game that wasn’t (probably) on VS or NBC. So I have no idea why Tues’s game was blacked out, because other Mondays and Tuesdays (when there will be Vs games) aren’t throughout the season (presumably).
So in summary: W-T-F-?

Budaj
I’m hoping he plays tonight so Andy will be fresh for Saturdays game vs THE RED WINGS. Unless, of course, Anderson doesn’t need a break.

Oh yeah, they say it hits everyone different, and outside of a fever and a cough, we are all good. In fact, Jacob is in a better mood than he usually is (rare I tell ya).
Jacob is the only one who has tested positive (well the only one who was tested period)…but the docs assumption was that we have either already had it, have it, or will get it shortly

I was there when they lifted #19 to the rafters. Were you?
Has any NHL goaltender
ever played all 82 games in a season?
Where will you be on October 1st, 2009 at 6:45 PM Mountain Time?
Yes
According to the brilliant commentators for the Devils, Brodeur plays 136 games a year. And never lets in a goal.
To the Avalanche: Please stop messing with my head.
I live in Connecticut. I despise the devils. Can you tell? Right behind the Red things. Don’t get me started when they told me Brodeur was better than Roy in the 2001 finals. They also said Brodeur DESERVED to win because he was better than Roy. I am angry all over again now.
To the Avalanche: Please stop messing with my head.
Yeah
That worked out real well for them, didn’t it? Roy is and always will be greater than Broduer. We know this. Everyone else is just messed up in the head.
An ounce of confidence can carry you a mile toward winning. Oh, and Red Wings suck.
It all comes down to head – to – head, and Roy won the Conn Smythe against him.

Kiprusoff played 76 last year. Fleury played 70. I think you do end up playing for pretty decent stretches when you’re a undisputed #1 goalie on a team.

Colorado Avalanche: Please excuse the mess while we are under construction.
It is – Craig “Get out of my f**king crease!” Anderson
Colorado Avalanche: Please excuse the mess while we are under construction.
I bet everyone loves that temper as much as I do.
Budaj just isn´t that type of character. Budaj´s composed and reasonable.
Andy is more of a hothead and a Rock N Roll kinda guy, oogling icegirls and beating on anyone with a different jerseys who gets in his crease.
Budaj´s composed and reasonable
Which is what makes him a perfect back up.

As long as he doesn’t take a stupid penalty at a critical time in the game that costs the Avs a win, I don’t really care what he does.
Colorado Avalanche: Please excuse the mess while we are under construction.
It´s a learning year for the entire team. Andy pretty much also is a rookie (It’s his FIRST year as a starting goalie). Go easy on the team and you’ll never be disappointed when ‘rookie mistakes’ happen.
Anderson's temper
could be both a strength and a weakness. If I were the coach of an opposing team, I would instruct my players to get under his skin to set him off. I remember the early Edmonton game last year where Roloson was so preoccupied with Smyth that he let him get under his skin and distract him from his game. Anderson may have to learn to walk that fine line of being edgy but still in control. Then again, maybe he already knows this about himself and I am just making up crap to post. :-)

you have a great point. i think that was roy’s biggest problem. his psycho nature was a huge benefit…until it became a liability.

Yes, Mark Jones’ Power Rankings, from the Bleacher Report…
The Canadian Press has us at #5, where we belong. The fact that people are skeptical about the Av’s unexpected performance is irrelevant…
Don't care about power rankings
And especially the bleacher report.
(Honestly, I think Bleacher report is some of the worst blogging out there. They are shallow, and most every time I head to their site is because someone took offense to something stupid they said. I haven’t found anything worthwhile at that site ever.)

I had to laugh last night when I was talking with Marty McSorley. Right after the 2-0 start, I made a comment about how good the Avs looked and what a surprise Duchene and O’Reilly were with their maturity, etc. He brushed it off by saying not to get too excited about it cuz it wouldn’t last. So this week, he comes into the locker rooom all happy about the Kings and I pointed out who was ahead of them in the standings. Again, he says, “Yeah but…” and proceeded to explain how veterans like Blake hit their stride a few months in and the young guys will be all tired out in January, thus leading the Avs tanking. I wanted to counter with, “So is that what’s happened to the Kings all these years?” but I didn’t cuz, well, I was going out on the ice with him to scrimmage in a few minutes. Bruises don’t become me. lol.

Whoa
I have a thing against Keanu… Aside from his lack of an ability to act and his inability to speak any phrase without following it with “whoa”… Well, does there actually need to be an aside to that?
Hey now
That’s exactly how it seems Anderson acts when in the presence of ice girls.
Plus, he seems to incorporate kung-fu with his saves.
It seems to fit him perfectly.
As much as I love our desperation when it comes to needing goaltending and we hope he’s our savior, the association with Keanu is just too much for a guy I want to like.
Other savior references welcome, though. For example, theres always Jesus. Or the Ice Girls reference, chick magnet or something?
Craig… Anderson… Andy…. CAndy? Candy cane (in your best Buffalo Bill voice).
So we go from Pimp Cane to Candy Cane. I could live with that ;)

Little late on the reply, since the balloon is already down, but you’d have a hard time with a helicopter more than likely, since the downward force from the blades would likely push the balloon away…

there is a chance something fell out of the balloon was going up…which could be damn good news.
Mile High Mayhem just another ho-hum Avs blog.
cnn reported that too, about an hour ago, before it landed.
however, from our friends at channel 7 -
“The family reported Falcon could not be found when the balloon lifted off. His older brother told his parents that he saw Falcon climb into the balloon and the balloon lifted off, Larimer County Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Kathy Messick said.
The boy’s home and neighborhood were immediately searched and there was no sign of the boy, leading everyone to believe the boy had climbed into the craft.
“I got the impression the boy was part of the balloon when it lifted off,” a neighbor told reporters who were gathered outside the Heene family home in Fort Collins."
Thanks Joe...
"I got the impression the boy was part of the balloon when it lifted off,"
You know, without the context, this makes it sound like the kid merged with the craft.
Also, The kid’s name is Falcon? That is equal parts awesome and hilarious.

speaking of which… apparently there was a battery box that the kid climbed into. it was not on the craft when it landed.
Channel 7:
“The balloon did have a box that carried batteries, she said.
“It was never intended for any more weight than the batteries that were in the compartment,” Messick said.
She described the craft as a sort of weather balloon and said it reached an altitude of 15,000 feet before it began descending.
The battery box was not attached to the balloon when it landed."

why did the family let the 9 news helicopter chase the balloon for 2 hours without mentioning that the battery box had clearly disconnected? This whole thing is so bizarre…

Glen Garioch 8 or 10 year. Depending on what your store carries. Costs about 15 dollars, taste like an 18 year. Malt Advocate usually ranks it as the best buy every year. It’s also disappearing next summer.

I bought the Laphroig 10 year recently, I was just randomly picking a bottle off the shelf to try something new. I have never had another Scotch like it, though I don’t mean that in a positive way.

I have the manditory teachers prep period, and I slacked on prepping anything, but then had to go practice.

That got me through so many nights last season when I had to sit through work. Just watch old Avs games and remember the days when Brett Clark wasn’t so terribad.

Over 300 comments in the PREVIEW?
Cthulhu bless all of you.
The Avs may (or may not) suck now, but they've still won a Cup more recently than 75% of the NHL.
Hahahahaahaha
Just for fun. Totally safe for work, too.

He was hiding because he totally let the balloon get away. Bad Falcon!

I'm calling BS.
Someone else let the balloon get away as a means of drawing attention to the family just so the authorities would stumble upon the boy being kept in a box in the attic by the family.

Apparently I am the only member of MHH that actually works when he is at his job. =).
Hopefully #9 is not ten less than #19
I’ve been working more in my job as of late.
Right now I’m sitting in Constitutional Law totally not paying attention at all. We’re going over some case about New Jersey landfills. Exciting.

Surprisingly no.
City of Philadelphia v. New Jersey
State law banning the importation of garbage from other states was ruled unconstitutional under the dormant Commerce Clause.

There was a state law...
….banning importation of garbage. What a country.

See, you are paying attention. You are a natural multitasker!
I was there when they lifted #19 to the rafters. Were you?
Well, I’ve already read the case, and the Prof isn’t really bringing up anything new.

Then you are ahead and totally justified in entertaining yourself otherwise.

New Jersey landfills? That sounds almost as boring as being at work. It sounds like they’re doing a real good job of immunizing you against boredom before you make the plunge into the world of year-round 9 to 5 ing
I already work year-round 9-5. I go to law school in addition to that.

Hey
All my law school classes were done for the day at 1. So I get to drink and rampantly post.
To the Avalanche: Please stop messing with my head.
Damn
It’s getting tough to keep up around here. PPP showed us the way I guess. I’ll be at work shorty, because some of us have to work to make the beer. But I’ll watch and think of you guys, and maybe even do a shot or two. Jager FTW tonight.
Get rid of the loser point
09-10 Avs- Nowhere to go but up!
I probably won’t be here most of the game. I’m skipping out for what is apparently some of the best sushi in town.
An ounce of confidence can carry you a mile toward winning. Oh, and Red Wings suck.
I seem to recall...
well, nevermind. I’ll remember this.

You didn’t say that. It’s excused then. I just remember a million “NICE PRIORITIES” comments when I said I might miss a hockey a game. Hisssssssss

I’ll be here for some of it so I automatically win anyway.

This is NOT how it works.
Anytime I’ve ever mentioned missing any portion of a game for any reason, you bring the rain. I hate girl rules overruling boy rules. Joe, can I get a rule overruling the insanity of girl rules?

I’m afraid we’re all bound by the insanity of girl rules. Except for our gay friends, who have found a loophole, so to speak. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

The best sushi in town is that eaten off of naked Japanese girls. Just sayin. Or maybe naked Japanese Ice Girls.

I guess if there’s a bright side to the goal, it looks like it fired up the team.
