Around SBN: Bracketology 2012: Duke Finally Steps Up To The No. 1 Line

Quote of the Night: Game 40

Quote-me_medium

Tonight's QotN brought to you by a whole slew of MHH regs:

Americanario: Budaj in December: 5 starts , 6 goals against.

i2strange97: Trade him.

wickediz: Sporting a 1.21 GAA and .963 SP to boot. WHYS HE ON TEH TEAM HE IS TEH SUXXORZZ!!!1

SlamDunkTheFunk: .963 lmao. Oh my god that’s awesome.

Savage33: Especially for someone who SUXXORZZ so bad he should be in the AIHL.

Not sure what the AIHL is, but tonight's quote is a pretty decent synopsis of the game last night.  Peter Budaj gets first star with 40 saves in a 4-1 Avalanche win in front of a sold out Can. Chris Stewart notches two goals in a pretty dominant performance to earn the second star of the game and Chris Durno cements his intraweb fame by scoring his first NHL goal (and earning third star to boot!). Not a bad way to finish up before the upcoming road trip.

Great Game to be at!

I was shocked to see the Can full. And it got really loud in the 3rd period when Budaj was making a bunch of fantastic saves and then with Stewie’s goals.

Budaj’s stats for his starts in December are unbelievable: 1.21 GAA and .963 SV%. For comparision’s sake here are Anderson’s stats for December: 3.0 GAA and .896 SV%.

I was watching NHL on the Fly after the Hawks shutout the Wings for the second time this year (I loved typing that by the way). The Hawks back-up goalie was in net for that game. Now Chi is the expert on the Hawks not me, so I will defer to him on the accuracy of things, but Kevin Weekes was talking about the teams that would be the strongest this season. He said that because it is an Olympic year, teams that utilize a 1, 1a goalie rotation, and have two strong goalies, are the teams that will succeed this year. Well, the Avs have that, and I think that it will be well served for that system to be put in place.

If I were Sacco, I would play Boods for the Wednesday Ottawa game, and then have Andy fresh for the Thursday Wings game. With the way Budaj has been playing, it makes no sense not to play him more than just when Andy is sick.

Colorado Avalanche: Please excuse the mess while we are under construction.

Sacco needs to give Weiman a chance. It’s obvious he’s got no confidence in Budaj at this point.

Mile High Hockey: Hoping for the best, expecting the worst, hating the Wings.

Yup

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

.963 lmao. Oh my god that’s awesome.

No fucking shit. I love Budaj. I’m so glad he got first star. So well-deserved.
