Fantastic

They look great for a young, inexperienced group. Keep it up.

im too lazy to fill all that out, but it was a great game. the avs played a solid, simple game, limited the chances to the outside, letting andy see the puck.

i was surprised in the first when the scored, haha i thought the first was supposed to be our shit period!

All in all, good game, i think staying out of the box for the most part, helped, though edmonton doesnt have much of a pp to speak of without souray firing rockets.

In defense of us scoring in the first, Edmonton has been outscored something terrible in the first. It was bound to happen so Hejduk decided to just get it out of the way early.

In tonight’s game, the Avalanche topped the Oilers by a score of 3 to 0. The Avalanche looked solid in the game, especially everyone, but especially Stastny and Wolski. They started out very strong but by the end of the game they were only strong. Craig Anderson started in net and was awesome, per usual. The star of the game was Stastny, although I also thought Wolski was solid.

I have to say that Koci really needs to kick ass more often. We saw him skate well at several points in the game, which was nice to see. And how about that hit on well no one? Yeah, that was awesome.

What else can I say? That game was simply refreshingly dominating.

No no no, you can't read it first and fill it in to make sense! Make a list first!

In tonight’s game, the Good Guys topped the morons by a score of bing to check. The Avalanche looked skate in the game, especially awesome. They started out high but by the end of the game they were mercurial. Craig Anderson started in net and was smelly. The star of the game was impressive, although I also thought monkey was solid.

I have to say that sticky really needs to A-hole more often. We saw him craptastic at several points in the game, which was miniature to see. And how about that hit on ooze? Yeah, that was awesome.

It was just a joke. I hope you don’t take it personally and for what it’s worth: I reckon we won’t be able to keep up this pace by any means.

But you must understand that, after last season when we were barely playing better hockey than the Isles, it’s our turn to gloat.

The 2 victories vs the Deadthings really boosted our confidence. Of course this point is moot, as the rivalry is dead. Just read Excluding Zetterberg.

I did see the first two spots before making a list though.

by Selanne on Oct 28, 2009 12:34 AM MDT up reply actions  

1-19

If I can engage in a bit of hyperbole here, that team performance was the best I’ve seen in a long, long time. Cumisky and Hannan had career games. Willsie was super centering that 4th line, helping them stay on the ice and pile up shifts and minutes. Durno used that early ice time to earn more ice time near the end of the game. Galiardi was great again, this time on the wing, and he and Dutchy and Svats made an active line. The recent whipping boys responded strongly, and this was an all-around team win.

by Dan Winkler on Oct 28, 2009 12:49 AM MDT reply actions  

I agree. They looked really, really good tonight. A dominating performance for a game that was so close scorewise until late.

That totally sucks.

If a player doesn’t feel right his ass should not play. If an Avs player gets sick I’m gonna be pissed.

If it gets wide spread those players should have to check their temprature before the game.

by Dario on Oct 28, 2009 6:58 AM MDT up reply actions  

Dumb

I realize hockey players are tough and play through flu all the time. But this season, you know with the whole H1N1 pandemic, maybe it’s best they are a little more cautious so the entire league doesn’t get sick.

Another refreshing thing

This coach sees what everyone else sees. Hensuck stands around when he finally gets a chance to play. Hensuck sits in favor of AHL callups. I love the job Sacco is doing.

Durno seemed off the first period

but then was awesome the rest of the game. It’s like these guys getting called up are seeing their peers as regulars on the team and they think, “Hell, why not me??” Last year, they knew they wouldn’t stay once the vets got healthy. But now? They have a chance since Sacco is of the “best player plays” mentality (go figure a coach would actually think like that) and they’re making the most of it. I am loving it.
