Avalanche Lineup News, Etc.

PrintSome updates on the Avalanche lineup going into Friday's game against the Sharks in San Jose.
- T.J. Galiardi has been sent home to Denver to recover from the ankle injury he suffered Wednesday against Calgary. Initial reports said the pain wasn't serious, but it's apparently serious enough for him to miss the rest of the current road trip.
- Contrary to initial reports, Craig Anderson will start in net for the Avalanche against San Jose, even though backup Peter Budaj has recovered from his bout with the H1N1 virus. It will be Anderson's 14th consecutive start of the season.
- Though there are no solid reports, John-Michael Liles could return to the Avs lineup against San Jose. He is expected to return no later than Sunday against the Vancouver Canucks.
- Hockey stats blog Behind The Net takes a look at some of the basic numbers behind the amazing 10-1-2 start to this season. Worth the read.
- ADDENDUM: The Avs aren't the only top team with injury concerns. The Penguins have now lost Evgeni Malkin to a shoulder strain for at least two weeks, maybe three. They lost key defenseman Sergei Gonchar last week.
The injury curse appears to be alive and well, as always. Luckily the Avs have been able to keep winning despite the personnel losses. Let's hope they continue that trend.

Another Anderson start?
Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeebus.
I thought you knew that algebra was all razzamatazz. A Globetrotter always saves the good algebra for the final minutes.
ride’em while he’s hot
theres no reason why he cant play 50-60 games this year

If we did that he would probably collapse in a dead heap by the time the playoffs started.
A man has limits! Even so I wouldn’t mind seeing him in net for a good 70 of the games. :/
Bills fan? In Colorado? It's more likely than you think.

For real. And if he can play multiple back-to-backs on the road, he can play 82. If that fat ass Brodeur can do it (and he can), why not young, spry Anderson?

zing. If he gets a groin pull I’ll be put out.
This team will make the playoffs and upset the Sharks in the first round...it's our turn.

…and if he doesn’t put out, he won’t get a groin pull.

Given his flexibility & skills, I believe I would be the one with the groin pull.

Nothing on the LEM website yet. They usually scoop everybody else on callups.

still nothing as of this AM. they do have Hensick still around though…
if Budaj is healthy, there should be some activity soon, I’d think. Weiman would be on his way back

Off topic: Here’s an interesting note I just realized. The teams last year needed between 91-95 points to make the playoffs. The Avs are 69 games out, and they need 69 points to make 91 points. Well, that mean they need to win exactly half (50%) from here on out, to make the playoffs. That’s not too bad. They didn’t start out this well last year, and if they’d made this kind of win streak at the end of last year, they’d have made the playoffs. Well, that means that they’ve already made the playoffs, even if they play the rest of the year as bad as they did at the end of last year. Whoo Hooo!!!! :)

The wheels are gonna fall off soon. didn’t you get the memo?

Its understandable everyone would want to change their name to Savage but you just can’t do that. I’m sorry, you should all be happy with the names God(Me) chose for you.

You can’t do it on your own. You have to request a change from the tech support gurus.

An ounce of confidence can carry you a mile toward winning. Oh, and Red Wings suck.
i know where towelie comes from hahaha, but in reference to raycroft?
Make Me A Milkshake, Malkin! - Mike Lange
Raycroft was widely derided on MHH as being a layabout ne’erdowell stoner, who had made the suckitude of on Tyler Arnason even worse through use of his Rainbow Bong of like Zen & stuff, ya know?
Not quite sure how we decided that he was a total pothead, but his demeanor certainly seemed to fit.
As well as his performance.

just start a thread and ask everyone to put out what they think should be in the glossary. then you can just cut and paste.

Something Funny...
Now, I don’t ever read Eklund, unless I’m really bored in class (which happens frequently this semester considering my classes I have are awful)
But, he is suggesting (pulling a statement out of his ass) that the Sabres and Avs are talking and that the Avs want a young defender, while the Sabres want a young, speedy forward.
Doesn’t make sense…. at all….
by toothandnailer777 on Oct 30, 2009 12:29 AM MDT reply actions
Wewt.
They can have Svatos! He’s young, he’s speedy. Just don’t give him a stick in the third period.

How the hell could we want another defender? Unless of course he also has us in the works for a Clark-Hannan-Preissing+2 1sts to atl for Kovalchuk e-5 type of rumor as well.
Get rid of the loser point
09-10 Avs- Nowhere to go but up!
no
it’s more like Clark – Svatos for a 3rd rounder e5 LOL that guy is barely ever right that is why I prefer to look at Spector’s Hockey lot more accurate and a lot less speculation!!
The system hockey “blogger” Eklund uses to rate the veracity of the rumors he spreads on Hockeybuzz.com.
Mile High Hockey: Hoping for the best, expecting the worst, hating the Wings.
Pretty much. I still have no idea why anyone ever visits that site.
Mile High Hockey: Hoping for the best, expecting the worst, hating the Wings.
He has the American business model down…take something in demand (hockey rumors)…make shit up to satisfy the demand…make people pay for it, and profit. Hell, during the lockout, the guy got enough people to pay for his crap where he ended up with a blackberry, a new computer and other various top of the line tech products. All from the stupidity of others!
Who gives a shit about rumors anyway? What difference does it make if you know the Avs are going to sign Craig Anderson three days before it actually happens?
I just don’t get the whole rumor/prediction obsession at all.
Mile High Hockey: Hoping for the best, expecting the worst, hating the Wings.
I don’t either. I can make up rumors too, but in reality, most rumors fall into that “too good to be true” category. Give me the real and actual news any day
Yeah, waiting an extra day or two for the actual truth makes way more sense to me.
Mile High Hockey: Hoping for the best, expecting the worst, hating the Wings.
I saw that too, first I went there for the rumors, then I realized over time he’s full of crap, then I stayed for the forums, then I discovered this site and now I only go there for the fantasy game, which they dumbed down this year, so who knows when I’m going back. But back to that rumor….yea that makes sense, the avs definately need another d-man. Since they only are 9 deep (incl. the injured ones), with an extra 5 or so in the AHL that saw time on the team last year, I can see why the front runner for Executive of the year would want to add to that depth.
Just because a waiter says something, I don’t think that ek should believe it.

Maybe they will have a bit of an Aebischer vs Sauve moment…it wasn’t that much of a fight, but what a joy it would have been to see the old starter fight the old back-up!
Too bad
If you asked me the question " what are the two NHL goalies least likely to get into a fight" my answer would be “Peter Budaj and Andrew Raycroft”

I like Ray Emery. Did you see that game, I believe it was against buffalo, where he fought the goalie, then the enforcer (could have been the other way around) then wanted some more? That was awesome.
