Hey, Colorado Avalanche, that was a nice win. Now, please don't ever, ever do that again.

For the 3rd straight game, the Avalanche squandered a 2-goal lead. Thankfully, this time it happened in the 2nd period, before the Avs turned in for the evening. It's a good thing, because otherwise they would have been toast.

The Avalanche started things off early, with David Jones scoring just a minute in and Paul Stastny breaking his 12-game goal drought a few minutes later. But the Flyers scored a goal late in the first and tied it up just 63 seconds later in the 2nd period, and Avalanche fans were already starting to mutter to themselves.

The Avalanche own the 2nd period, though, and tonight was no exception. Cody McLeod, David Jones and Scott Hannan all scored in a wild middle frame to give the Avalanche a 5-2 lead after two periods.

They'd need all of it. The Flyers' comeback was inevitable. The Avs had been outscored 7-0 in the last two 3rd periods going into the game. You can make that 9-0 now. Philadelphia peppered Craig Anderson with 19 shots. Anderson was excellent, but couldn't stop them all. Daniel Briere - Briere being french for "little pussy"...he knocked Scott Hannan out of the game with a sleazy post-whistle cross-check after Hannan made it 4-2 - scored at the 11:17 mark to make it 5-3 and then, with the Avs serving a flipping penalty for two many men (how, how, how does that happen with 6 minutes left in the 3rd period), Jeff Carter made it 5-4. The Flyers kept on coming and might have knotted it up had Scott Hartnell not run over Craig Anderson with just over two minutes left (Anderson, to be honest, sold that one perfectly). Even then, the Flyers had some chances late, and Craig Anderson's save on a wide-open Braydon Coburn was the ultimate game-saver.

I'm glad the Avalanche won, but I can't take many more 3rd period laydowns like this. Please?

Kudos, by the way, to Marek Svatos. No, he didn't score. But he did have his first NHL fight, taking on Claude "Don't Call Me Shane" Giroux in the 2nd period. Not only did Svatos acquit himself nicely, but he was the one who invited Giroux to drop the gloves. Maybe he should give some pointers to Cody McLeod. McLeod's goal was huge, but he's not himself on the ice lately. Maybe he's hurt, or maybe he's just not comfortable wearing that visor. Whatever the deal is, I noticed him shy away from an opportunity to make a check on several occasions. And that thing with Lappy was embarrassing. I have ZERO problem with McLeod refusing to drop the gloves for Lappy, especially with the Avalanche up in the game at the time. But, if you aren't going to go, don't make it look like you're going to and don't goad the other guy into dropping his gloves. That's a move an assclown like Matt Barnaby would pull. It is not a move befitting a Highlander.

Actually Hannan made it 4-2, Jones made it 5-2.

fun game to be at

my lucky charm status continues.

- I too noticed Mcleod pull up on some checks. Don’t think he’s 100% yet or something, be it’s weird. I wondered if it also had something to do with the non-fight with Lappy. I don’t know if it was was heard on air, but the crowd booed McLeod pretty hard for not going. Knowledgeable fans, whoda thunk?

- This was my first game of the year, and I was shocked to hear…organ music! They still played a lot of alternative generic crap, but it was great to hear the organ some.

- I couldn’t believe Briere didn’t get penalized for the hit on Hannan. It was a) late b) charging c) a deliberate blow to the head/intent to injure. wtf?

- Enough said about our inability to hold a lead. Clark, just…ugh. We missed Hannan a lot wyhen he went down (sorry Dan).

- Some lady sitting behind was going off on Anderson all night, about how he suckd and Budaj was so much better. I get the whole DoB thing and I like Budaj, but better than Andy? what? that said, Andy didn’t have a great game. He flopped around way too much.

- We talked a lot before the year started about figuring out what we have with all the young guys. Jury is still out on most of them, but holy shit, the verdict is in on Jones: legit. All eyes on you Stewie. :p

- Crowd went nuts for Svatos’ fight, and in watching the replay here (yeah, I’m that sad, drive straight home, flicked on the game to watch the goals/highlights) they didn’t show Svatos light him up with the first several punches. I’ve been down on Svatos a lot (this game no exception, he was bad again) but that fight was AWESOME. As was McLeod’s interview about it after the game, lol.

It would’ve just been weird to see McLeod and Lappy fighting. There would’ve been pulled punches and it just would’ve been disappointing.

I heard mention of an organ. I think tonight was the first night for it.

the in-game coverage of the fight was terrible. It was behind the play, so the cameras weren’t on it when it started. No big deal there, that happens. But it took them forever to cut to the action, and by then it was almost over. They did show a replay later with the start (you can see Svatos say “let’s go”) and Svatos doing well at the beginning.

I swear to you Doc

I was not the lady sitting behind you talking about Budaj being better than Andy :-). Andy has earned the right to be the #1 goalie, and I couldn’t be happier.

I thought Andy played a good game. He made a couple of key saves that kept the game from getting tied up (one in the 2nd and one in the 3rd). The defense also made at least 3 key saves to keep it from tying, too. One in the 2nd on an open net, and 2 in the flurry at the end of the game. It’s the responsibility of every player on the ice to play solid in their own end and keep that puck out of the net, which would explain why there is even a +/- statistic.

Watching the way Jones is playing makes me realize how he was really one of the key injuries last year that crippled the offense. Sakic, SoS, and Jones, in that order.

Svatos fighting was such a shock to everyone. He is way too pretty to fight, but I got to give him credit for doing it.

During the National Anthem, a guy yelled out really loudly “We still love you Lappy!!!” Normally, I don’t like it when people yell stuff out during the National Anthem (because it is usually Red Wings fans yelling something rude), but that one kind of choked me up.

And I agree fun game Avs, but the near coronary I keep having during 3rd periods needs to stop.

One criticism of Andy last night (see, I am equal opportunity)…there was one goal (the 2nd) where the Avs had 3 chances to clear the puck, and no one got it a foot away…yes that’s the D’s problem. But at the same time, Andy was down, and facing away from the play…he needs to stay on his feet in that instance.

1st goal was a giant, and perfectly placed rebound for the French cheap shotter.

I thought Andy had 2 GIANT saves…but he is going down way to early again (and when he does that, it seems to be the games he looks rusty)

If Anderson can make the save on the first shot when he goes down to his belly, that’s great. But if he can’t, then he really leaves that net exposed with no possibility of him being able to get up to do anything. On the flip side, butterfly goaltending seems to produce more rebounds. I guess there are just pros and cons to every style.

I loved the guy yelling the Lappy thing. Whole place cheered louder when he came up to take the honorary faceoff with Stastny than they did for Krupp, lol.

I'm pretty convinced

that Lappy dropped gloves with both Briere and Hartnell after the game. At least in my mind he did.

Being at the game also I was struck by how much Hartnell plays like a beer league player who thinks he is in the NHL.

First time I heard the organ too. It semmed to be about 1/2 organ and 1/2 tunes. After the Svatos fight, they played Beastie Boys – Fight for your Right. The crowd really seemed to enjoy that. It was the frosting on the cake of the Svatos fight.

I’m really disappointed I didn’t notice the organ. I’ve been such a proponent of bringing back organ music to hockey and I totally should have caught that.

Maybe I was distracted by the fact that we’re still doing the ridiculous Twisted Sister song when the other team scores a goal

Things that piss me off - Briere, Koci and the 3rd period

Hitting someone after they score a goal is rude.
Cross checking someone after they score a goal is uncalled for.
Cross checking someone IN THE NECK after they score a goal is asshatery on an epic scale. Instigation penalty or not, someone should’ve beat him!

Maybe Koci could’ve been the “enforcer” he’s supposed to be, but the only time he spends on the ice is when he’s skating to the penalty box for a dumb penalty.

Another dismal 3rd period for the Avs. I’m not too worried though. They had crappy 1st periods and they seem to have fixed that, but now they’re playing crappy 3rd periods. I’m pretty confident they’ll fix that too.

I should never be taken seriously.... Seriously!

can’t put that on Koci – he never saw the ice after the Hannan hit. But I would have liked to see someone do something there. I’ve been soapboxing this issue for a little while now.

Can Koci play hockey?

In the past 2 games, he’s had about 5 total minutes of ice time and 2 minor penalties. He’s looking like a waste of space on the roster. He can’t be an enforcer if he’s never on the ice and he’s never gonna stay on the ice if all he does is commit stupid penalties as soon as he gets out there.

Yikes.

The postgame over at Broad Street Hockey is…educational. Anderson embellishing at the end was apparently the reason they lost at the end, despite their continued pressure. Calling out Liles for a dive after the cross check by Carter at the end of the game is mind-boggling. As expected, no mention of Briere’s assault on Hannan. Big fucking shock.

I’m so not going to check that out.

Anderson was run into a couple of times. The Flyers are lucky they just got one interference call out of it. Anderson embellished, but it’s not his fault that that Poodlehead made a boneheaded play.

Honestly

Parts of it were completely coherent and I agreed with. It was pretty interesting, though, because at one point the guy said the Flyers should have walked all over us, then said they didn’t deserve to win, then while the Flyers were deserving of losing, the Avs weren’t worthy of winning, then the Flyers should have run away with the game but still didn’t deserve to win because they really only played for about 9 minutes of it.

What’s baffling to me is the fact that Marek Svatos now has more penalty minutes on the year (27) than all Avs forwards besides McLeod and 4th overall behind McLeod, Quincey & Foote.

I've always compared Richards and Stastny

I think they are similar players, but really I think they are basically equally skilled with a slight bias to SoS. But since Richards plays in the “hallowed” East, he is treated like a demi-god while Stastny is left forgotten. Where was Richards last night? No where. NHL.com claims he got an assist but he was a complete ghost on the ice. As for his west coast counterpart, only 3 points. Nothing big.

confession

I saw a great opportunity to troll the other day, so did. It was on a youtube replay of the pretty obvious goal the winged wheel did not get awarded against the Stars. I just started yanking chains, starting with “the puck went in under the net, not over the goal line” and getting more and more absurd …. “it was sent in with a distinct kicking motion, it was sent in with a high stick, he was juggling the puck as he went out of bounds and didn’t get both skates in bounds,” etc. etc. It was hilarious watching folks just get furious, not getting the fact that I was just joking around.

First and only warning: I’m sleep deprived. Any more talk about Briere NOT being a huge pussy and karma from trolls or non-trolls and I’ll wake Joe from his slumber to deliver some BanHammers.
