Game 16 Preview: Coyotes at Avalanche

by David Driscoll-Carignan on Nov 4, 2009 6:00 AM MST in Game Previews Comment 230 comments


Phoenix Coyotes	7:00 MT / 9:00 ET	Colorado Avalanche
9-5-0	November 4th, 2009	10-3-2
18 pts	Pepsi Center	22 pts
5th in West	Denver, CO	1st in West

By now, I think you know that I like to draw paralells. Sometimes its a stretch for me. Not this time.

The Coyotes and Avalanche both endured a very tumultuous offseason and neither were expected to do much this year. Both teams have used exceptional goaltending (Craig Anderson edged out Ilya Bryzgalov for player of the month honors in October) and timely scoring (18 players have scored for the Avs, 15 for the Coyotes) to surprise the hell out everyone. I personally don't think either team is going to be at the top of the standings in a few weeks, but they both deserve a lot of credit for their unexpected fine play to date.

As you may have noticed, the Avalanche have had some trouble scoring recently, and it won't get any easier tonight. Bryzgalov already has 3 shutouts and even if he gets hit by a bus on the way to the rink, backup Jason Labarbarino has been excellent as well. And they play behind a stingy defense that is 4th best in shots allowed. That doesn't bode well for an Avalanche team that's struggled to get to the 20 shot mark recently.

The Coyotes have a lot of new faces on the team as a quick glance at their recent line combos reveals. Paul Bissonette? Lauri Korpuskristi? Not ringing any bells, I'm afraid. I have heard of that Radim Vrbata fellow though. Sadly, another former Av - Kurt Sauer - is on the IR; I don't know what's wrong, but I'm going to assume he dislocated his jaw talking with that fantastic Minnesota accent he has. Don't laugh. It could happen to you too...

Life…hmmm, I actually had a rather busy news day at work.

- Kid brought a gun to a middle school this morning (always good)

- 35-year-old woman taped her 14 year old daughter in the shower, and sent it to the 16-year-old she was cheating on her husband with

- Guy was in scuba gear, cleaning out a pond, tank ran out of air (I think you can guess the results)

- Guy was hit by a car in an intersection, died. Police now say the other guy did it on purpose

- 56-year-old guy decided that turning his basement into a pot farm was a good idea…until police found it anyway

- AND your federal stimulus dollars saved 473 teachers in one of our school districts…at least according to the government. The problem…the district only employs 290 people. Oops

I got sucked into a movie on IFC last night. Anyone ever see Cube? Random people trapped inside cubed rooms, some with booby traps and some safe. No why or how given. The acting was mediocre, but I’m a sucker for those kinds of movies.

There was a baby in the theater when I saw Paranormal Activity, too. That was fun. Thankfully, the lady took her young’un and bailed about 30 minutes into the movie, well before anything had really happened.

Ya

It was made a few years ago as a movie with one ending, then when shown to more and more audiences, they decided to make it into a widely released film based on the positive reception it received and couldn’t resist tinkering. Supposedly there’s a third version with another different ending. Sadly, both of the alternate endings sound more interesting than the one being seen in theaters.

I can’t remember a part of a fan base so obsessed with the performance of someone who hasn’t even played yet (minus Toronto and Kessel). This has quickly turned to absurd.

This brings me to something.

Why is it called a defensive struggle when two teams are playing well defensively? The defenses clearly aren’t struggling and the offenses get a free pass in the so-called “defensive struggle”. It seems ludicrous.

My story is similar

No hockey team in Newfieland besides the St. John’s Maple Leafs back in late 80’s, early 90’s.

I refused to cheer for them, more or less because I wanted to be different. And when I starting seeing the highlights Sakic was doing as a Nord, I feel in love.

Cool story. I lived in Denver from about ‘87-’88 to about ‘93-’94. So, there were no Av’s when I lived there. I started watching hockey when they won the Cup in ‘01. I was just in Edmonton a couple years ago, and that big mall was awesome. I was there while visiting my Calgarian wife’s family, in Calgary. You must be a young’n, considering you were 8 in ’96.

Needless to say, the Avs lost.
