Here we go again.The Avalanche have been on an absolute roller coaster of a month, basically alternating between solid efforts and mailed-in snoozers. This trend started on November 1st with the Avalanche getting shut out by...oh, my, it was the Vancouver Canucks! The Avalanche followed that turd (a game I think was more embarrassing than the 8-2 drubbing last weekend) with good efforts against Phoenix and Chicago, the lousy 4 PP goal game against Edmonton, a great game against Chicago, the 8-2 loss where everyone played awesome other than Peter Budaj, another great effort against Calgary before sinking again against Edmonton on Wednesday.
So. which Avalanche team will we see tonight? Advanced Saberhagen metrics tell us the Avalanche's good twin should be in attendance tonight. Then again, the Avs have been outscored 11-2 in the last two games against Vancouver, so maybe it will be the bad twin. I guess I'm too wishy-washy to make a call on this one. I'm also too damn old to be staying up until 1 AM to watch a hockey game, so a recap from me is unlikely.
While the Avalanche have had a busy week, traveling to the Great White North and playing back to back games in Alberta, the Canucks have had a slightly easier go of it. They've been off all week, idle since Saturday's win over the Avs. For Vancouver, this is a bizarre, stretched out home and home. The time off isn't quite enough for injured Daniel Sedin, however. He's aiming for a Sunday return.
In other scheduling news, after playing tonight the Avalanche have the weekend off (they host Ian Laperriere and the Flyers on Monday). From a quick perusal of the schedule, it appears this is the only weekend of the season for the Avs (excluding the Olympic break, of course). So, take advantage of the time off to spend some quality time with your spouses, significant others, children, pets, whatever. Or, spend the weekend cluttering up MHH with funny comments and terrific photoshops. The choice is yours.
Where is Tyler Arnason today?
Arnason, wearing #15 and, apparently, playing as Tayler Arnason (no doubt to protect his identity), made his long-awaited KHL debut on Wednesday and led his Riga Dynamo to a dramatic 6-4 win in front of 8,450 rabid Moscow fans. Arnason played 8 minutes and was an impressive 7/10 in the faceoff circle. Unfortunately, he was a -1 as he was on the ice at the 45 minute mark when Moscow's Kirill Knyazev buried a pretty pass from Yaroslav Obshut and Roman Lyuduchin to beat Riga goalie Edgar Maskalaskis. That was a big goal, cutting the Riga lead to 5-3. Thankfully, Yanis Sprutks scored a big goal 5 minutes later to ice the game (man, he's been clutch like that all year, hasn't he?). A late Spartak goal by Bronco Radievoyevic (not HIM again) was too little too late.
Saturday, Taylor is in Yaroslavl to take on Daniel Tjarnqvist and the rest of the Lokomotiv. I hope he's ready, because I'm sure head coach Kari Heikkilä is going to have his team ready! For those who don't know, Yaroslavl is a city of about 615,000 located 155 miles NE of Moscow. Today, Yaroslavl is an important industrial center (petrochemical plant, tire manufacturing plant, diesel engines plant and many others). It is the home town of opera singer Leonid Sobinov, Valentina Tereshkova (the first woman in space) and Oiler's defenseman Denis Grebeshkov.

Yanis Sprutks is my favorite current player, why he hasn’t made the transition to North America is beyond me.
Blackhawks did us a favor last night, beating (and beating Phadouche) the Flames.
Hopefully the good Avs show up tonight, and not the god awful team from that last game against this team, which I am still not convinced…actually happened

Dave, you mentioned this “8-2 loss” twice in your preview, but for the life of me I can’t find any record of it anywhere. I’m pretty sure it didn’t happen.
Are you sure you’re not talking about Calgary’s 7-1 loss to Chicago last night?

Speaking of which, the lead paragraph in M&G’s preview before the game last night is priceless (and prescient!):
If the Flames were a 9 year old girl, the ’Hawks would be the drooling monster under the bed. Chicago swept the season series last year, dismissed Calgary in the first round in the play-offs, treat Jarome Iginla like a prison bitch and created the unfortunate “the 5 goal lead is the most dangerous one in hockey” meme by handing the Flames perhaps their most embarrassing defeat in recent memory.
They’ve got a brand new memory now.

is the lead to the story on the Calgary Flames official website recapping last night’s game. I guess they are doing with that game what we are doing with the Nucks game that never was. I admit, I had to keep doing double-takes during that game. I thought for sure Budaj was in net for Calgary, cuz only BOODAI SUXXUSS that bad. But nope, it was Kipper.

I think the league ought to make that a suspendable offense. If you choose to fight, and choose to leave your visor on. you should sit for a couple of games, or get a substantial fine. Even leaving your non-visor helmet on is a chicken-sh*t move, in my opinion. The way some of these guys duck their heads so a helmet is all that’s exposed is garbage.
There are certainly cases where a guy gets jumped and really doesn’t have an opportunity to take off the visor/helmet, so it’s hard to blame them in that scenerio, but in this case Phaneuf was just showing his true colors, yet again.

At the least it should be an extra two minutes for leaving the visor on.

Take a step back...
While it’s definitely considered to be a d-bag move to leave your visor on while fighting, I do not think that it would be a wise decision to punish visored players while fighting. Recall the recent death of a Canadian amateur league player from fight related injuries which is still fresh in many peoples’ minds. He suffered a coma inducing and eventual life ending brain injury because the back of his helmetless head struck the ice at the end of a fight.
Making it mandatory that many players remove their helmets for a fight is a counter productive move towards safety. What’s worse? Broken fingers or hands as a result of punching a visor? Or coma, concussion, brain damage, cranial hemorrhaging, and even death? In the end, this isn’t about “manning up.” It’s about the overall safety of players, especially with all of the attention that head injuries is incurring in seasons since the lockout.
It’s also well documented that legendary Canadiens coach, Toe Blake, didn’t want Jacques Plante to wear his mask, either (Blake had to concede because Plate would not play without it and there were no back up goaltenders in those days.) Think about how foolish that sounds by today’s standards.
For what it’s worth, at recent GM meetings, they did view prototypes of helmets with snap of visors. And prototypes of other double layered helmets that come off completely with a goofy looking “soft shell” that stays on during a fight.

that’s a great point, I’m not sure what the answer is…. let them fight with their gloves on to protect their hands? I’m sure then there would be a concussion increase as players felt they could punch harder and harder due to the lessening chance of hand injury.
Maybe the emotion getting the better of me, but seeing these “tough guys” shell-up like a turtle so that they can’t actually get hit makes me ill.

I don’t think that fighting with their gloves on is the answer. I think that “dropping the gloves” is a much bigger part of hockey culture than anything that has to do with helmets during a fight. I recall some talk in previous years of having the players where a padded MMA styled underglove to fight with as a way of protecting both the head and the hands. I’m not sure how much harder these guys can punch; they don’t exactly seem like they’re holding back any. It’s not a bad idea considering that hockey is the only sport which allows bare-knuckled fighting.
But, I think that any changes made are going to be with helmets rather than gloves.
Here are some words from Pierre Le Brun on the helmet prototypes that I mentioned earlier.
In the wake of Don Sanderson’s tragic death in a senior league game in Ontario last year, Kris King of the NHL’s hockey operations department has worked with manufacturers to try to find safe alternatives so players don’t take their helmets off for a fight.
King will show GMs a couple of new prototype helmets this week. On one, the visor snaps off. Another, which I find interesting and got to see firsthand Friday at the league’s Toronto office, is an invention from Marry-Ellen Baldackin of Parry Sound, Ontario (hometown of Bobby Orr). Her helmet allows the plastic shell to pop off, while the player still wears a soft shell underneath. The idea is the soft-foam shell would still protect a player’s head if he fell to the ice, but it’s also soft enough to punch. It looks funny (some of you may have seen me displaying Baldackin’s helmet during Saturday’s “Hotstove” segment on “Hockey Night in Canada”), but it’s an interesting idea. We’ll see what the GMs think of it this week.

Back when I followed pro cycling, I had a similar sentiment about performance-enhancing drugs. They’d catch riders with crap in their system and then give them two year bans. If you’re really against drug use, dole out lifetime bans. One failed test, banned for life. Otherwise, allow drug use across the board and quit testing. The piecemeal crap never seems to work at all.
Same goes with fighting. Incremental steps here and there won’t make anybody safer. Either take the risk that a player will die some day or ban it completely.

No word on Foote, who didn’t practice yesterday (again, Per Dater), yet.
Also no word on whether or not Ryan Wilson will be suspended for his open ice hit on Moreau.

Also, Matt Hendricks is again being listed on the IR on the Avs site. So, for both Liles and Galiardi to come off of the IR, either D Foote needs to be placed on the IR, or Durno will be sent down and Foote will remain listed as day-to-day.

Big Willie...
better not get suspended. That was a clean hit. No idea why Dater seems to think it’s a “hockey no-no” to hit a guy with his head down.
by ExiledAmongYou on Nov 20, 2009 10:58 AM MST up reply actions 0 recs
I think Dater was saying that it’s a no-no to skate with your head down looking at the puck.
I would disagree on the suspension tho. I LOVE Wilson’s toughness, he seems to be the only defenseman we’ve got willing to take the body (looking at you Mr. Quincey).
However, on that play, I think Wilson certainly got his elbow up, and in my mind he lept upwards at Staois’ head. if he’d have kept his feet, and kept the elbow down, I say it’s a great play, but from what I saw, it should’ve been a penalty, and it probably warrants a games suspension.
by jd21 on Nov 20, 2009 11:07 AM MST up reply actions 0 recs
There’s a picture in a comment on Dater’s blog of the actual impact; it was clearly (in my opinion) Wilson’s shoulder that made contact with Moreau’s head, not his elbow. And perhaps Wilson left his feet a tiny bit, but then why did neither ref call it a charge?
In any case, if a player got suspended every time he left his feet for a hit (i.e. every time charging is called), there would be an insanely high number of suspensions, something I certainly don’t want to see.
by ExiledAmongYou on Nov 20, 2009 11:19 AM MST up reply actions 0 recs
I definately see your point, and I don’t think it’s nearly as bad as some of the hits we’ve seen. I’m drawing my conclusions from watching the feed….
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmQLWRb7b2I
In my eyes, he brought the elbow up, combined with the leap, it’s a suspendable situation. Not severe, but a game for sure. The combation of those things is what makes it suspention worthy, in my opinion. In this case the ref made no call, but as we’ve seen, refs miss calls all the time, that’s why they do the league reviews.
I would agree that a suspension isn’t warranted every time a guy leaves his feet. Generally, the charging call covers it. There are exceptions (such as when it combines with boarding, or a hit from behind in open ice) that I think it becomes an exception warranting suspension.
by jd21 on Nov 20, 2009 11:30 AM MST up reply actions 0 recs
I have to agree with all of this. should be a small suspension, probably a game, and more because of the elbow / extended arm to the head, not leaving his feet.

That wasn’t really my point. It was more that if anything, it should have been called 2 for charging. And suspending him for a game because the refs missed a charging call isn’t justified, IMO. If you want to call it a charge, that’s fine. But just because it may have been a charge doesn’t mean it’s a suspendable charge.
by ExiledAmongYou on Nov 20, 2009 1:56 PM MST up reply actions 0 recs
Ahh
Got it now. I guess I could see that logic. I think a 1 game suspension is probably fair, but 2 (or even 4) for charging would have been fair as well. Anywhere in that range, to me, would have been acceptable.
It certainly wasn’t as viscous as the Phaneuf one on Okposo, or Kronwall on Havlat.

Instead of driving upwards with the hit
he could have just hit him in the chest. I think the view may be that the hit was one Wilson could have prevented or controlled and that by driving the hit upward he intentionally went for the head.

But I think throwing a check like that will, more times than not, end up hitting a guy in the head, and that’s something the NHL should try and get rid of.

This whole incident and unfortunate culmination illustrates how outlandishly behind the times traditional journalism is, and how slow it adapts to change. The fact that Dater’s tiny indiscretion (premature tweeting) brought so much heat down on his head tells says so much. In three months, is it going to matter if Phadouche got yelled at in the locker room by his coach or anybody else? What difference does it make anyway? Players get yelled at. Frustrations emerge. That’s sports. So what if 1100 people know about it right away instead of finding out several hours later?
It’s just sports, people.

I fail to see how that is any different than having 2 sources and printing a story (which is journalistic ethos), not only did he have at least 2 sources, he had 2 sources he knew personally and trusted.

Besides, this isn’t court. Journalism would cease to function without hearsay. It’s built on it. Journalists interview people and print things they say about other people and events all the time. Being an eyewitness is not a requirement for being a journalistic source. Never has been. Neither is an identity, apparently. In an age where every source is anonymous, what difference does it make where Dater got his info?
This whole incident makes my brain bleed.

I’m really not critiquing you guys. I just think there is room for more than one way of doing things here. And the urge to have the facts straight is killing AD. Now, He heard some stuff, and I think that should be OK. It isn’t as if we’ve never heard that before (as shown above). But if it’s not a credible journalistic source, it’s ecklund. His job entails being absolutely, positively sure about what went down. And heresay just can’ cut it in those situations.

From Dater...
Good medical news has emerged from General Motors Place here in Vancouver. Let me proclaim to the world that John Liles and T.J. Galiardi will return to the Avalanche lineup tonight against the Canucks team that laid an 8-2 thumpin’ on the tangled up in blue third-jersey clad lads last Saturday night.
Adam Foote will not play, but he did skate some this morning and hopefully will return soon.
Also, there will be no suspension for Ryan Wilson vis a vis his hit on Ethan Moreau the other night. Edmonton will not like that.
Gally will definitely help the PK, and Liles should help the PP.
See you tonight. Oh, and thanks for the supportive emails about the twitter cancellation thing. Maybe I’ll rethink it and start it up again, but as of now it’s still dead to me./blockquote>
