Around SBN: Ohio State And Florida Target 2013 Receiver Recruits

It's Official

Stastny_medium

Paul Stastny has been given the green light to play for the Avalanche on Tuesday night against the Atlanta Thrashers at Philips Arena. - Rocky Mountain News

According to the above article, the top two lines are a bit different than advertised. Stastny will be skating with Ryan Smyth and Chris Stewart and Wojtek Wolski will skate with Milan Hejduk and Cody McLeod. No (written) word on the other two lines, but I'd guess Tyler Arnason and Marek Svatos will skate together -  possibly with Darcy Tucker on the wing - with the IBC line staying intact (hopefully).

Poor Svatos indeed

New name for the dreaded (for us) Arny/Tucker combo. Ball and chain.

Does that mean Jibbles has to photo-chop a chain in the net if Tucker scores?

My prediction for the B&C line is 2 scoring opportunities, 2 turnovers, no shots on goal.

Too optimistic? OK, 4 turnovers and 2 minor penalties.

no shots on goal

Do the ones Arnie makes directly to the goalie’s chest count?

Andy people wonder why Svatos’ production is down.

Avs. Sticking it to the Red Wings

Who’s Andy and why does he have his own people? Can he play 3rd line center?

Love the ball and chain name—the only other thing I could come up with is Svatos and the Anchors, it sounds like a 50’s band. If there is no ice do they switch to lacrosse or field hockey?

who is the best defensive forward on that line? Probably Svatos

a third line that can’t score (insert joke here) or defend. Both the extremely movable object and the completely resistible force.

Lacrosse

The skill sets are completely compatible, and like 95% of the guys in my HS who played one played the other. The stick handling is similar, albeit in 3d, and the game is played somewhat alike as well, even though the offense can be run more like b-ball and the defense more like hockey.

Get rid of the loser point
08-09 Avs- can we decline the penalty?
