Around SBN: Miikka Kiprusoff Wins 300th Game, Buffalo Crushes Boston

A Christmas Poem

 

'Twas the night before Christmas
But you'll see no stars
No teams are in action
And that includes ours

The league is shut down
Today and tomorrow
We'll be back in two days
To pick on B. Morrow

The Avs have given us
A nice Christmas lift
Third place in the West?
What a beautiful gift!

Who saw that coming?
Certainly not I
I'm glad I was wrong
And that isn't a lie

Thanks to Wolski, Andy,
Hejduk, Stats and the rest
of our surprising team
perched atop the Northwest

So rest up there, fellas
in your time off from the rink
You've earned a little vacation
But when you come back: don't stink

There's lot of time left
In this marathon season
And we'd really love to see
That you haven't been teasin'

We desperately want to know
that you guys are for real
Could we make the playoffs?
Is that really the deal?

So thank you, dear Avs
It's been lots of fun
But what we REALLY desire
Is a postseason run!

 

From all of us here at Mile High Hockey,
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone!

STANDING OVATION!!!

And agreed, Merry Christmas to everyone (except Red Wing fans…they don’t deserve it…OK fine, even them)

If this is a re-build...we should do it every year.

Ehh…. they can have a lump of coal.

Forever grateful that Joe Sakic isn't a douche bag like Brett Favre.

Well, done, sir.

Merry Christmas to everyone! Just remember, though, if you happen to get an official Red Ryder, carbine action, two-hundred shot range model air rifle, don’t shoot your eye out.

xoxoxo to alls yas!

(Oh, in case you hadn’t heard, the Blues gave us a nice present last night and beat the Flames…tho they could’ve done it without the loser point but Calgary still needs 2 games to catch us. Wooot!)

There is a god.

And with the 32nd pick in the 2009 NHL draft, the Red Wings select: Someone other than Ryan O'Reilly. LOL@Detoilet.

As a Buffalo Bills fan I’m inclined to disagree :(

Awesome job DDC! I’m about to ruin the Christmas experience, Av marketing style:

Santa …… presents …… eggnog …….. family

The Christmas Experience.

Happy holidays to all of you fine Av fan friends.

Now that you mention it, this is the first year I haven’t made Mexican eggnog. Oh well. There’s still time with New Years and all.

An ounce of confidence can carry you a mile toward winning. Oh, and Red Wings suck.

Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays to all from the MHH bunch.

Keep those toesies warm, kiddies and be sure to come back Saturday for all the Avalanche obsession you can handle before making those New Year’s resolutions that you won’t keep.

i think to "beachie someone's groin" is much the same as mini-golf...except with a lot more vigor and sometimes even a swing involved.

Great poem. Merry Christmas and Happy holidays to all Avs fans. Continued success for the season.

@Mike@MHH- saw on the news that the OKC area was having quite the weather. Hope you’re keeping yourself safe and sound.

Please allow me to adjust my pants, so that I may dance the good time dance, and lead the onlookers and innocent bystanders into a trance.

Yep. Stayed inside and had much fun with Toddler and Mrs. and Puppy. Nice break from the real world.
