In the pre-game

the Altiboobs mentioned that the players are complaining about the ice in Atlanta.
As mentioned in a fanpost the circus was in town and the ice was not put down until today. Watch for some crazy bounces and some bad passes in tonight’s game.

Stastny with a nice set up for Stewie….misses wide.
Then Hejduk misses wide on a chance from Wolski

Avs 3-1-1 in Atlanta…Lehtonan 1-0-0 against the Avs.

Avs get the first PP of the game.

my wife is a card

I’m at work and I was just talking to her at home and I asked her to check the game to make sure it was recording.

she’s like “yeah, they are interviewing Stastny right now” then, without missing a beat, added “he’s not wearing his uniform though” :)

Score a shitload of goals on shitty Budaj would have been another good key

by avs19fan26 on Feb 24, 2009 5:36 PM MST up reply actions  

As if Raycroft is any better. You realize they have the same SV% .898 and the GAA isn’t that different. Budaj 2.95, Raycroft 2.99.
I’d say the defense has to share the blame in this…but that’s been debated to death already.

Avs. Sticking it to the Red Wings

by hockeymom on Feb 25, 2009 8:12 AM MST up reply actions  

Dater just posted this

No Arnie or Hensick tonight against the Thrash. Healthy scratches. There is ice in front of me as I sit high above it, with a few friends and close relatives of players in the stands and that’s about it.

Lots of rumors flying around tonight. I don’t normally indulge in a lot of "Let’s make up a bunch and hope one of them sticks, then go around claiming we’re a good reporter, while ignoring the 99 we got wrong" type of stuff like many others do. But, hey, it’s getting near deadline time, so let’s trot out a couple I’ve been hearing tonight:

Rumor is the Avs are going to be involved a big, multi-player deal involving an eastern team real soon. Boston or Pittsburgh are the runaway favorite teams said to be likely to be involved.

Could Jordan Staal become an Av? Could be. Could Ryan Whitney? Could be. Could Manny Fernandez? Could be. Could a couple of first-round picks be coming Colorado’s way, along with any of the above players, for someone like Ryan Smyth and/or Jordan Leopold? Could be.

The thing with trades is, most of the time, not even the GMs know if they’re going to happen or not right until the last second. I know that sounds sort of "No duh", but there are just always all kinds of possibilities in front of a GM, and it comes down to the last minute very often, and they don’t know what they’re going to do until then.

So, we’re just going to have to see still. But this is some of what I’m hearing here in lonely Atlanta.

By the time I took to set up this post, the Thrash have scored two goals on two shots against Boods. Good start there boys.

by avs19fan26 on Feb 24, 2009 5:46 PM MST reply actions  

So that's their plan

to suck so bad NO ONE will want them in a trade….I guess that could work for the guys who are still under contract next season.

I would hate to lose Smyth. Also I wouldn’t want to see Jordan Staal and his new huge contract in an avs jersey anytime soon.

by avs19fan26 on Feb 24, 2009 5:50 PM MST up reply actions  

I too would hate to lose Smyth. Leopold could go….
Ryan Whitney wouldn’t be bad,
Fernandez – no thank you.
Picks could really come in handy.

Hey i'm here

God what an awful game, especially defensively.

You ever notice that even in games where the avs give up 5 goals, There’s stretches where the goalie still has to make 10 big saves on quality scoring chances?

That’s exactly how tonights game has been. Budaj hasn’t been great, but there have been breakaways, and quality chances abound. I mean 50% of the shots on Budaj have been dangerous.

<>That’s what I’ve been talking about all season when I’ve said the defense has been crap, resulting in both Raycroft and Budaj having poor save %‘s. No they haven’t been good, but god god has the defense been awful, tonight is no exception.

Venting

Seriously, it’s just so frustrating to watch people say “If we just ad a number one goalie”. No “If we just had a coach that understood what a defensive scheme is, and how to tell defenders to rotate positions and pick up guys and get sticks in scoring lanes”.

On the Reasoner goal earlier Leopold made a perfect screen against Budaj, without even trying to get in Reasoner’s way. I’ll give Wolski a little break, because he’s not a defender, but Kovalchuk got his tip with no one within 10 feet of him. Jesus that’s just awful.

By the way I like Doc’s idea of trying to get Lehtonen away from the Thrashers. He’s had injury problems, but I’d be okay with Buday backing him up. And his injuries have been kind of freakish.

ATL is kinda overflowing with decent goalies too.

Nomination

I change my nomination to this one by BiB:

OK, NOW I"M FRICKEN YELLING LIKE THAT MONODONOMONO DUDE

GET A FRICKEN NHL COACH! ALL OF THE TRADE DEADLINE DEALS IN THE WORLD, WHATEVER INFLUX OF TALENT THIS TEAM IS ABLE TO GET, WON’T MATTER WITHOUT AN NHL COACH.

Mainly because I think it might be the last we here from him before they send him to that “special” retreat in the mountains

No, he consistently fails on replying. the Avs can’t even do that right.

Ottawa

is about to win. Toronto will be 1 point back of the Avs and Ottawa 2. If they can pass us.. we’ll be bottom 4, guaranteeing a top 5 pick.

After tonight I think the Avs have a good shot.

Except

our next two games are against better teams. Meaning we’ll beat New Jersey, and then let the Rangers finally turn around their scoring struggles against us, before losing to the Isles because they suck worse than we do.

As long

as we keep playing shitty teams we’re fine. It’s the good teams we win against, for some unknown reason.

So that's what a comeback looks like.

Nashville was down 3-1 after 40:00 and they scored 4 unanswered goals to beat the Hawks 5-3.
LA 1-1 Minny at the end of OT
Oil 3-2 Bolts in 2nd
Flames 3-1 Jackets 2nd
Blues 2-1 Coyotes 3rd
