November 18, 2008 - Peter Budaj is the only member of the Colorado Avalanche to show up for a game in Calgary. Budaj faces 50 shots and turns away 47 of them (a career high). The anemic Avs manage just 23. Despite getting peppered with shots, Budaj keeps his team in the game and the score is tied at 1 midway through the third. Unfortunately, Adrian Aucoin blasted a slapshot past Budaj to make it 2-1 and the Flames added two very late goals - an empty netter and then a PP goal after Ryan Smyth was tossed for unsportsmanlike conduct - to seal the victory.

Was this some alternate reality? Or is DDC already drinking this morning?
The 2009-10 Avalanche: It's like having a banana split while all the other kids are getting an ice cream cone.

That was an unbelievable game for Budaj
One of the pictures hanging up in my son’s room is from that game, when Budaj had his masked ripped off and then stood right back up with his mask off to face more shots. I remember Lappy racing over the get the ref’s attention to get him to stop the play.
Colorado Avalanche: Please excuse the mess while we are under construction.
2008-2009 season?? Hmmmm, I don’t remember that at all. Wasn’t there a lock out or something?

I thought it was a linesman strike. Ice-melting heat wave? Something.

I remember that game
IIRC, the highly intelligent super beings at denver post pinned that loss solely on Budajs rebound control.
The Savage has spoken. Let it be done
