Game 21 Preview: Avalanche at Flames

by David Driscoll-Carignan on Nov 17, 2009 10:37 AM MST in Game Previews Comment 123 comments


Colorado Avalanche	7:30 MT / 9:30 ET / 2:30 GMT	Calgary Flames
12-5-3	November 17th, 2009	12-5-2
27 pts	Pengrowth Saddledome	26 pts
2nd in West	Calgary, AB	5th in West

Sorry for this being late (and brief). Until 5 minutes ago, I thought this game was tomorrow. Oof. So I'm cranking this out quickly on my lunch break. Too bad, as this is a big, big game for the Avs. The winner of tonight's match will be in first in the NW and, of course, if the Avs are for real this year, bouncing back from Saturday's disaster is going to be key.

[One, if they were so inclined, might go so far as to say this game was a "must-win" for the Avalanche. -Joe]

Craig Anderson is the starter for the Avs. Chris Durno has been recalled (why?). T.J. Galiardi and John-Michael Liles are traveling with the club, but neither will play tonight.

The Flames? I don't like them. And...scene.

We need Gailardi back in

I think we’ve really missed the guy, he plays good hockey, and there’s no doubt he brings some good vibes to the locker room.

Chris Durno has been recalled (why?).

After sending Dupuis down a couple of days ago, the team was travelling with 13 healthy forwards. Sounds like Sacco just wanted another option.

by c0nquistad0rian on Nov 17, 2009 10:58 AM MST reply actions 0 recs

Also surprised to see that Durno’s recall made TSN headlines. I wonder if it’s because the Avs are playing a Canadian team tonight. Or, if it’s because of Durno’s following amongst Leaf fans.

Tonights Game..

is one where guys like slap-chop, footer, and andy grab this team by their shirt collars and go ‘damnit boys, tonight we show what we’re made of’

THIS is when we need our vets to show the guys like dutchy and radar how it’s done

go avs!!

Well said sir. I really think if this team is for real, the Vets will stand up and actually play tonight. It would be nice for our rookies to have some examples to pattern their play after and I do believe that our Vets can be that example. GO AVS!

interesting stats.

Flames have scored the first goal in 15 out of their 18 games and have outscored opponents 27-14 in the first period.

Avs have scored first just 8 times out of 20. Avs do have a decent 6-4-2 record when the other team scores first, but that’s a hell of a way to have to win hockey games. I don’t know why they are so sluggish at the start of games. In similar news, Avs have outscored opponents 23-14 in the second.

Avs have outshot their opponents just 4 times this year. Calgary? 3. Something has to give there.

Flames have gotten 11 out of 12 possible points in November.
