| Carolina Hurricanes |
7:00 MT / 9:00 ET |
Colorado Avalanche |
| 2-4-2 | October 22, 2009 | 6-1-2 |
| 6 pts |
Pepsi Center |
14 pts |
| 12th in East |
Denver, CO |
1st in West |
The last time the Carolina Hurricanes won in Denver, they were known as the Hartford Whalers. Matt Duchene and Ryan O'Reilly were 5 years old. That, of course, doesn't matter at all. More importantly, the Hurricanes are off to a poor start. They have struggled offensively, averaging just 2.12 goals a game - and that includes a 7 goal outburst against Florida. Their powerplay is dreadful (29th) and they are the most penalized team in the league, averaging more than 6 minor penalties a game. Guh. The Hurricane's might also be frazzled if the Avs get more than 15,000 into the building tonight (it's Alexei Gusarov night!). Carolina played in front of a whopping 9,000 fans in New York on Wednesday. If you're going, don't yell to loudly; it might startle them.
Peter Budaj will finally get rid of the baseball cap to make his season debut.[UPDATE: Scratch that. Peter Budaj is out with the flu and Tyler Weiman has been recalled and will be in uniform tonight. Per Adrian Dater, Anderson will start.] Craig Anderson has gone the whole way for the Avs so far joining Ray Emery and Martin Brodeur as the only 3 who have played every minute in net. Cody McLeod is out tonight (and tomorrow night) with the eye injury. Hopefully he'll be okay for the West Coast trip next week. Chris Stewart has been recalled after two scoreless games in Lake Erie; either he or TJ Hensick will replace McLeod in the lineup tonight (I think it'll be Hensick as he hasn't played in about 2 weeks). John-Michael Liles has started practicing again, but is not ready yet. Tom Preissing is skating, but not practicing. Ruslan Salei is...uh...well...*crickets*...not close to returning from the sound of it.
For the 'Canes, Cam Ward will get the start. Although Mike Leighton has one appearance in relief, Ward has started every game for Carolina this year. The Hurricanes will be without forwards Erik Cole and Michael Ryan as well as defenseman Tim Gleason. Old friend Stephane Yelle centers the 4th line for them.
Hurricanes vs Avalanche coverage
Today in Colorado Avalanche History: October 28th, 2008 - Joe Sakic scores early in the 3rd period to seal a 4-1 win over the Oilers in Edmonton. Sadly, that would be the final goal of Super Joe's career. Darcy Tucker and Wojtek Wolski assisted.

Use of retro logo FTW!
Maybe switch the Avs to the Nordiques?
The Avs may (or may not) suck now, but they've still won a Cup more recently than 75% of the NHL.
I think I can do that

Yeah, NHL 2k10 has the Whalers jersey’s in this year, and the Winter Classic. Apparently those were the main things 2K thought would beat out NHL 10. Gameplay ranked somewhere under brightly coloured office door in franchise mode as things that may entice more customers to buy this game.

You know when you have been spending too much time at MHH
I taught my 5:15 a.m. indoor cycling class (spinning) class this morning. People have to sign up for the class because there are only 25 bikes and I usually have people on the wait list (people can sign up a day in advance and they might decide to sleep in instead). Anyway, one of my regular guys comes up to me and says “I know I am #1 on your wait list, but would it be okay if I just go ahead and mount up?” I sort of froze for a moment, starting laughing and said "Mount up? Suuurrreee, go for it! " He starting laughing and did one of those “Heh-heh, I said mount up.”

There is a poll on their front page right now that asks “Do you believe that solid evidence exists that the world is getting warmer?” With 467 votes it’s 30% yes and 70% no. I shit you not.
Not a surprise. If you don’t want something to be true, it won’t be. Don’t you know how things work?

The question is poorly worded. What it should say is “Is there enough evidence to show that the earth’s climate has been changed due to human activity?”
But this is a terrible opinion poll, because it’s a factual question. And the answer is unequivocally yes.

One of the biggest contributers to Climate change is cow’s pooping, since they give off a high amount of methane.
Of course the reason there are so many cows is because we breed them and raise them for meat for human consumption… so yeah I think it counts for the most part.

There’s actually a pretty funny story behind this sour cream thing.
When I took Mike home to meet the folks, we all went out for dinner at this local bbq place that has awesome baked potatoes with bbq pork. We all ordered, and Mike was so nervous he forgot to tell them no sour cream, and didn’t correct it after. He ate it anyway, and continues to this day to tell me that demonstrates how much he loves me (or how much he’s scared of my ’rents).
Haha

Just a note about Weiman being recalled: Weiman is waiver eligible. But, there is an “emergency” recall situation for which waivers does not apply. Budaj must be really sick if he can’t even sit the bench as back up. I am sure that this is how Weiman was recalled.
This is how the New Jersey Devils were able to recall the waiver eligible Scott Clemmensen this past season when Brodeur was injured. However, when Brodeur came back, the Devils would have been forced to expose Clemmensen to waivers to keep him on the roster. So, despite playing very well for them, he was sent back to the AHL

The NHL has an emergency illness clause. I think this whole swine flu scare classifies as medical emergency for that reason. He’s not allowed to be in the locker room or the bench if he has what they deem an emergency illness. I assume that’s how this is happening.

Red Wings had a 2-1 lead late in the third. Our old friend, Radim Vrbata, crashed the crease to pick up the equalizer. In the overtime period, Osgood let a softie get by his blocker arm and ding in off the far post from a shot from the right side.

I'll talk to myself for a bit. No problem.
Kid Icarus at 20 is disgusting. It is easily one of the most overrated games on the NES. While the game is fun, for sure, the fact that there was only one game in the series makes fans pine for it more than they would a Mario/Metroid/Zelda because they have a library of those to play. As a result of no updates in the series and fond memories, people rate the game so much higher than they should. Truth be told, that game was fun but didn’t really stand out as that awesome. The story was meh, the gameplay was pretty standard, and playing as Pit wasn’t exactly a party.

Simon’s Quest is definitely the black sheep of the Castlevania games. It’s kind of weird how Link’s Adventure, Simon’s Quest, and SMB2 are all considered the oddballs of their franchises and they were all the second games.
I thought you knew that algebra was all razzamatazz. A Globetrotter always saves the good algebra for the final minutes.

And
all three are completely underrated.

OH yeah they are.
My New Year’s Resolution for this year was actually beat all Zelda games. So far I’ve beaten original, Link To The Past, and Link’s Adventure. Will be working on Twilight Princess and Ocarina of Time here pretty shortly. I can say, though, that Link’s Adventure was REALLY weird in terms of its deviation from Zelda cannon. A lot of fun, though.

yeah
3 was forgetable. The three you listed are all great. I dodn’t remember the original as well, but Simon’s Quest and Symphony are outstanding.

Eastern Time Zone FTW
The Avs may (or may not) suck now, but they've still won a Cup more recently than 75% of the NHL.
EASTERN TIME ZONE RULES ALL!!!!
BOW BEFORE ITS GLORY!!!!

Mr. Anderson. Welcome back, we've missed you!
Anybody else accidentally click on the “Truth about Scientology” link on the main page? Weird stuff…
Haha.
The infamous “Internet v. Scientology” war that happened a while back brought a TON of information to light. It might also explain why the Scientology lawyers sue anyone who says derogatory things about their whacked out nonsense (that’s right. I’m being an innanet tuffgai right now). The more I learn about it, the more I become convinced it’s a screwed up cult with no upside.

Yeah
I was around for all that. There’s also a video of someone Bel Air’ing Scientology, except the person brought the full version instead of the more popular abridged version so people didn’t know any of the words until halfway through. Ahhh, memories.

This NHL Network Top 10 List is a Joke!
Dallas and Detroit are better playoff teams of the 90s than us?

Well
If you only count their time in Colorado, there are only what, 5 years to pick from? We won 1 Stanley Cup and lost like 3 series against those teams in a couple of the next seasons (I think). I can see where they would get that from.

I can see the Wings, but Dallas? didn’t they miss the playoffs for 6 years after making the cup finals?

Well Guys
You have all helped me waste 3 hours today. Reading up on horrible Dead Things goalies, babies being raised right, jersey anticipations, old school cartoons, older school video games, Boods’ swine flu of dooooooom, and other assorted awesomeness.
Thanks; my face hurts from smiling.
Bring on the game!!
Thanks Joe...
I'm off...
to go to dinner with friends, then back for the game.

All appropriate love and respect to Mr. Anderson, but...
can’t we give Weiman a shot? I mean, for pity’s sake, the kid is the only keeper I know of with a career 1.000 NHL save %!!!!
