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-?

It makes no sense. I know we have seen Stars games on the local Fox channel during “nationally televised” games on Versus. It seems like a really stupid clause to throw into a contract.

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

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. :-)

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.

I never found it in the bag for Dems, but I find it way too sensationalistic. It’s gotten better, but Brittney Spears sister getting prego was front page news for like 3 days, while important crap was buried.
I like BBC Americas (obvious British slant, but I wouldn’t expect more) but they do a superb job of covering international stuff.
Also “News” networks have blurred the line between opinion and news so much. It used to be op-ed was seperate, now the news shows make op-ed part of it. It’s hard to tell what’s actual news and what’s opinion

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."

Dogs
89.5 Million dogs in world’s biggest country * 0,1 kg a day * 4 poops a day/ 86400 = 27777.8 kg/s of dogturds

- Seeing Duchene have a couple more breakaways and (please, oh please) get his first NHL goal
- Having a beer. Or two. Or three. It’s been a day.
- Darcy Tucker getting another point (and realizing that this is not a facetious statement)

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."

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 mean, I appreciate it, I think I understand what its intended to be, but I don’t really understand the appeal.
Hopefully I haven’t just offended all the Scotch drinkers here…

I don’t particularly care for the peaty, iodine tasting islay malts either, although I do drink them from time to time. I much prefer the highland and lowland malts. My favorite recently being Macallen 12 and Balvenie 17

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.
