Denver, CO |
3rd in West |
The Avalanche host the Nashville Predators tonight. There's a few things you need to know about Nashville. The Predators are HOT; they've won 6 in a row and have 3 shutouts in the last 11 games. They can't score a lick (29th), but their PP is smoking right now and they are pretty good at keeping other teams off the scoreboard. They have a guy named Jordin Tootoo who makes Daniel Briere look like Lady Bing. Jason Arnott seems to score 2 goals every single time we play them. And, Ben Guite is not currently with the club (he and his mustache are currently playing for their AHL affiliate). All that being said, there's always one key whenever the Predators and Avalanche meet up: make sure you do not record the Nashville feed. You've been warned.
For the Avs, Adam Foote should return after missing 3 games with a jaw injury. "It was nothing", Foote said. Albeit a nothing that kept him off the ice for a week, right? Scott Hannan may return after getting injured by the aforementioned Madam Bing. Oh, and some Craig Anderson fella will be in net. The Avalanche will be wearing their cursed 3rd jerseys tonight.
[UPDATE] It's been mentioned in the comment section that TJ Hensick has been placed on waivers. You knew that was coming at some point.
Meanwhile, in the Western Conference only 9 points separate 11 teams. The 3rd place Avalanche are just 5-points ahead of the 10th place Red Wings. That is freaking ridiculous. And it's WORSE in the East, where 13 teams are separated by 9 points. That's not parity, that's a clusterfuck.
Happy birthday to Johnny Hot Pocket; Liles turns 29 today.

So who did we decide was going to push the giant cake into the locker room tonight?? I’ve got my outfit – well if you can call a few tassels and a thong an outfit – ready and I think I’m doing the happy b-day ala Marilyn but I’m not sure if I’m going with “Mr Liles” or “Johnny Hot Pocket.” What do you think?

Ah, memories
If I remember correctly, the Predators were the Avs’ first 3rd-period meltdown of the year. They also had this guy Hornqvist pretty much set the pace for the rest of the league when it comes to plowing over Anderson this year.

beat me to it, i was going to mention how we should keep a lock on Douche Jr. Horqvist, by ‘we’ i mean scott hannan or someone should beat his ass, i would say Koci, but i doubt they would play the same 30 sec of ice time.

Hopefully
Hornqvist will get his ass kicked and give Andy a reason for maintaining his early (tie) lead on goalie penalty minutes.
I hated how at the end of last season Stewie and Highlander were the only ones with any punch. The black kid and the ginger were our default brawlers! Where are all the hot blooded Rooskies and Quebecers?

Fed up
With Anderson keep getting run over. I was reading Dater’s mailbag and he reckons there is no shortage of grit in the team.
Er, if that’s the case, then why isn’t anyone nailing the likes of Hornqvist etc for running over Andy? It will only be a matter of time before he gets seriously injured and if that happens, the Avs are going to be fucked. I would actually rather see Weiman get a shot than Budaj at this point.
Before anyone jumps on me for criticising Boods, the simple fact is that he is not playing well at the moment.

Hard to say how Budaj is playing considering he’s only played two games.
As for the "grit on the team, I guess grit could be determined the same way as sand papers. This team has the “fine” grit that can cause damage, but is really not good for much other then “finishing”. What we need is that rough grit that is used to level thing out and if used incorrectly really wrecks havoc.

simply because he’s still only 23. He’s not going to get better sitting in the press box every day; may as well stick him with the Monsters and see if he can improve with some playing time. It seemed to help Cumiskey last year despite him missing significant time due to injuries.

Restaurant near the Pep Center
I’ve got some friends in town from Cali who are Caps fans (grew up in Maryland) and we’re going to the game tonight. He wants to eat at 5 while watching the Caps game, Where’s a good place to watch the early game and eat before the Avs play (Besides Old C’s)
I know Brooklyn’s and Braun’s are right there, I’ve never eaten at either place. They have the early games on TV? Are they easy to see or will I be squinting? And more to the point; is there anywhere else anyone would recommend.
I know when we were setting up the MHH Sakic night meet & Greet someone mentioned a good bar/restaurant, but we had already decided on Old C’s, but I can’t find the post it was mentioned.
Any other suggestions?

Well, you could check out that new place that replaced the ESPNzone, someone said it was ok, and I imagine that they would have the game on there. Brooklyn’s and Braun’s do have some TVs, and would probably be willing to switch them over as long as there isnt a Nuggets game on at the same time. Other places around the area… well, there are a couple of pedestrian bridges that take you from the Pepsi Center down to Wazee and Wyncoop. There must be something going on down there, even if its like the Wyncoop Brewery. They might have the game on there.

That place that replaced ESPNzone made me very angry during the last Vancouver game. It’s called the Tilted Kilt, pretty much an Irish Hooters, great “scenery”, but when I asked them to put the Avs game on, they just put more TVs on the Nuggets game … twice. Perhaps they knew how the game would end and wanted to pre-empt violence, but still.
The Penalty Box underneath Braun’s is a good place. Plus, you can leave for the game 2 minutes before it starts.

it’s two older gentlemen, a little grating listen to (Terry Crisp’s voice just doesn’t work for me). and very homerish (although in a fun way, not like Calgary or Detroit guys who shit on the other team the whole game). and one of the guy’s nickname is Bubba. ugh.
That being said, I’ve warmed up to them over the years. And Crisp does provide some really insightful analysis when he’s and his partner aren’t shooting the breeze like some old codgers in a rocking chair sharing lemonade.

Actually I finally saw them up close at the Pepsi Center store last night and they aren’t quite as bad as I thought when I saw them on the interwebs. I still wouldn’t buy one if you paid me though.

I guess blue is the new black.
Panthers have been unveiled. Blue. don’t mind them but, like the Avs, they don’t really seem to fit the team colors.

We saw the Preds 3rds earlier this year. those are blue too (they wear them on the ice for the first time on Friday).

25 was the first birthday I had where I went “It is possible that I may be getting old now.” This was brought on by my mother, who decided it was a good idea to greet me with “Hey, is your hairline receding?”
In the end, though, I think I still have 5 years before I am old. And when I get there I’ll be able to tell myself I have 4 more years in the 18-34 tv demographic. So I have that going for me.

ehh, don’t worry. I’ll turn 36 in a few months, and I still don’t feel old. I do feel like I should get a real job soon, but, even the start of grey hair can’t make me feel old, because old is a state of mind, and as a friend once said, “yer only as old as you act”
