After 12 games played outside of the division, it will be nice to get beaten by a NW team for a change. It's possible that this will be the last time we see Jacques Lemaire behind the bench in the Pepsi Center - Jim Souhan is reporting that Lemaire is contemplating retirement.
Injury information is listed below. Cody McLeod is still missing from the list; he's been practicing and will be a game time decision. Ditto for Cody McCormick. Also missing from the list is Brent Burns, who did not travel to Colorado.
My status for the game will also be a game time decision, as DirecTV is up to their shenanigans again; they are currently showing that the game will be shown on the TBA channel. Super. [The game is now showing in my guide, so I'm okay, although I'm still shaking my head at yet another clueless email response from a DTV rep]
In the Ti4T watch, all bottom-five teams are in "action" tonight. Phoenix is at New Jersey, Atlanta is at Edmonton, Tampa is at Toronto and the Islanders are at Montreal.

Speaking of beer, anyone else extraordinarily fond of Widmer Hefeweizen? Especially from the tap? Or is it just me?

Memo to Clark
The mouth guard belongs in your mouth… otherwise it can’t do it’s job, ya know, guarding your mouth.
An ounce of confidence can carry you a mile toward winning. Oh, and Red Wings suck.
It’s always looked so stupid to me, that mouthguard hanging out of his mouth. Sometimes I wish an opposing player would pop it into his mouth. Just so it’s in its proper place, not to hurt him or anything.
I’m just totally annoyed with Clark. He has been a super shitty player this season, on ice for tons of goals, trying to play goalie ect. And the mouth guard constantly hanging out of his mouth reminds me of a dog looking up at you all cocky like “what? what did I do?” with it’s tongue hanging out.
An ounce of confidence can carry you a mile toward winning. Oh, and Red Wings suck.
Pretty much every time I watch a f*ck-up that leads to a goal against the Avs, I notice in the replay that the Avalanche player who got beat was Clark. He is pretty useless/lame out there.
Puck
Taking some weird bounces. Strange because it’s been real cold here all week and it’s very cold today.

okay guys,
I was wondering what was going on, so I went back to that gdt with the highlights and J.P. says he can actually set the number of rec’s that will get teh comment to turn green. So yes, we DO have to wait for Joe! LoLoL!
When a comment gets 2 recs (I can set how many – currently it’s 2), it gets highlighted. Basically, it’s so you can skim the crap and see the good stuff easily.

But there is no reason to see a good goalie go bad in the tanking mission. He is a good goalie. He deserves better.

I don’t really like tanking either but i have no problem with it, teams are gonna do it and it makes sense. Why try to finish 9th or 10th in the conference and 16 -20th in the NHL, you miss the playoffs so you don’t get extra revenue AND you miss a good draft pick so you don’t get anyone good for the future.

As bad as it sucks, a high draft pick is the positive at this point. Really, one high pick will not save this team. But it’s still a positive and that doesn’t mean we don’t love the Avs.

I’ll support the Avs but I’d rather they finish low enough to get a high pick then just miss out on the playoffs.

I don’t mind (at this point) if they finish real low. But if you’re going to give up the season, then let the kids play and play hard…don’t just go through the motions and make the games boring.

I'm familiar
with this position. I’ve been here a ton of times with the Rockies. It’d be great to win some games at the end, just have the other bad teams win MORE.

The Avs have spent a lot of time
this season looking at the ceiling after nearly every shot on goal…
Well
when you can’t score, praying to the hockey gods can’t hurt can it?

Wolski, Hannan, and know Hendricks had chances in the last minute and got robbed.

Oh oh,

No Shit
Hockey rulz. Something about keeping basketball outta hockey ect.

this has been a good game, for the most part. Even considering that Minny had 1-2 shots in the third period.

Random question Bubblegum
When’s Ethan “Bubblegum” Tate, leader of the Globetrotters making his triumphant return to MHH to join with Fry and The Proffessor in ruling the MHH home world.
I just watched the last Futurama movie, It’s pretty good and the ending gives the impression that they’ll never make another one.

It happens… like the Wings rivalry we are supposed to be “over” or something. Sometimes you don’t realize your not over the past until it’s right in your face… again.

One more positive to throw out. No Mild fans flooding MHH at the end of the game. Hmmm. Suck it, Mild.

Wouldn’t it be even better if they miss the playoffs by one point and we can rub it in.

Absolutely
Even better if Forsberg was the one to score the nail in the coffin. Just sayin’.

Poor Showing
The Wild could only muster as many shots as Budaj has wins
Seriously… 17-41 for the game!
I just want Drury back...
Seeing the replays of Wolski SO goal…just sick. Sick, sick, sick.

Oh Yes
and then he is all modest in the interview like he will score everytime and he says he won’t. While that may be true, Wolski has been a lock to score in the SO this season. Total bonus to this season, IMO.

And his career average in the SO isn’t that bad either if I remember right…

I’m pretty sure there’s only one or two people with better percentages than him. They’re either both Sharks or it’s someone who has only shot a handful… I might look it up later.
I just want Drury back...
Or
I will. Cause I’m just a dork like that.

Early she said the Avs were 3-1-0 against the Wild this season…actually the Avs were 1-3-0 (now 2-3-0)

It's ok
it’s my fault anyway. Early in the game thread I jinxed them by saying the game was over after Minny scored because Minny was 23-9-1 when scoring first.
This time the jinx worked…I’m sure I will start to receive hate mail from the Ti4T group.
