| Tampa Bay Lightning |
7 MT / 9 ET / 1 GMT |
Colorado Avalanche |
| 11-11-8 | December 11th, 2009 |
17-10-6 |
| 30 pts | Pepsi Center |
40 pts |
| 11th in East |
Denver, CO |
5th in West |
So, what'd I miss? As you know, I was given Wednesday night off by a bunch of slimy corporate choads. I can only assume that the Avalanche played hard on Tuesday and...whoa? Shutout by the Wild? Fifth place? Dullest game in the history of hockey? Yowsers, maybe I should be thanking the clowns at Versus and DirecTV.
Let's just pretend that Wednesday didn't happen, and say that the Avs' big December homestand starts tonight. With that in mind, the Avalanche return to the friendly confines of the Pepsi Center (population 11, 435 on Wednesday) to host the Tampa Bay Lightning. These teams played each other on November 30th with the Avalanche winning 3-0. This time, that crazy wild Lightning team may be without both Ryan Malone and Steve Stamkos, both of whom are day-to-day after getting knocked out of Wednesday game.
Meanwhile, the Avalanche are expected to get Craig Anderson back from a neck injury suffered in Florida. Anderson hasn't finished a game since...November 30th against the Lightning. Peter Budaj has been better-than-solid in Anderson's place (1.26 GAA, .956 Sv%), but that doesn't mean the Avalanche won't get a morale boost from the return of Anderson. Hey, maybe they'll be able to muster themselves to a level above listless tonight in his honor.
Lightning vs Avalanche coverage
Where Is Taylor Arnason Today:
And what has Ryan Malone and Matt Hendrick's former St Cloud State teammate been up to recently? Trailor's Dinamo are currently on an extended home stand, so Tayler is no doubt spending much of his free time in their home city of Riga, Latvia. Tonight (well, today, given the different time zone), the Dinamo will host the Lada of Togliatti. On Sunday, the Dinamo of Riga host...the Dinamo of Minsk (I guess Dinamo is Russian for "Roughriders"). The club then has a 9-day break before traveling to Belarus to take on Minsk again to, once and for all, decide a victor in the Battle Of The Dinamo.
Still not much in the way of photos of Arnason in action (chance of that sentence quoted: about 95%), but we do have a nice description of his first two KHL goals:
Tyler Arnason had his first goal in Dinamo Riga colours in the third minute, taking the goal behind the net before reemerging to the goalie’s right catching him unaware.
Coach Julius Suplers was rewarded again soon after for giving Arnason more time on the ice when he had his second. In what has become one of his signature plays, Arnason moved the puck up the right before flicking it into the center in the hope of finding a Dinamo Riga stick. On this occasion he could not find the stick of Mike Iggulden but rather that of a Spartak defender who claimed the unenviable achievement of deflecting the puck into the back of his own net.

I believe the Wild always play without the services of these gentlemen. (I know, it’s early)

Last time I saw a Wild game live I started screaming “WAY TO NAME YOUR TEAM AFTER AN ABSTRACT CONCEPT!”
It got the entire section laughing, almost killed the hurt of losing 3-0.

Yes, indeed he does.

He hasn’t lost the touch of giving the puck away to the opposing team!

Trailer actually trying to make a play would catch any goalie unaware.

The Lightning announcers pronounce Tanguay’s name like the first syllable rhymes with thong. McNab and Colorado announcers pronounce Tanguay like the awful orange breakfast drink of astronauts. Which is correct?

Anyone think we’re missing Kyle Cumiskey?

At the start of the season, I’d have said no, but given the lazy game we played on Wednesday, I’d say we are missing him. We could use some extra hustle and speed right now.

Only inasmuch...
As Brett Clark has to play with Cumiskey out of the line-up.

He plays infinitely better defense than Clark (of course so does my dead grandmother, but I digress). He jumps into the play well (and has the speed to get back), handles the puck well enough not to create opponent chances every time he comes near the puck, plays the body pretty well for a small guy and actually shoots the puck when he has the opportunity.
So, pretty much, he’s better than about 80% of our defense.

My pre-game tip for coach Sacco.
Ryan Wilson and Matt Duchene can and have played the point successfully. So well in fact, that the reason their numbers attracted your attention was due to the fact that well, they played the point on the powerplay when scouted. It’s crazy talk, I know.
by Dario on Dec 11, 2009 10:58 AM MST reply actions 0 recs
the only reason I can think that he doesn’t have them there all the time is that he doesn’t want a rookie on the point—to which I’d answer, “And you want Wolski? Really?”

haven’t played Minny since before the road trip…if you’re talking about that open practice the Vile scheduled Wednesday…I thought it spit in our face to have it in our arena.
