Wow, I guess the tank is on. He would have been the last guy I would have recalled.

Poor positioning…bone-headed plays. Granted he’s slightly better then last season, but he was barely clinging to an AHL job last year. I’m really stunned by this recall. I never thought he would ever get a sniff. Unless there are some more injuries in Lake Erie. This one is a bit of a head scratcher to me.

Boy, he’s gonna give Clark a run for his money. Maybe Granato will pair the two up.

Avs. Sticking it to the Red Wings

LEM still has a shot at the playoffs, yes? maybe they want to balance those needs with the Avs’ needs

They pretty much need to win out and that will be difficult with all the injuries they have and all the players the Avs have recalled.

Hell

Even I mentioned him in my LEM experiences. He’s really not a very good hockey player. At all.

Then he’s exactly who the Avs need right now. It’s hard to tank it when your team has talent.

Go Avs! Let's get some goals!

Instead of a 3rd jersey. The Avs should just don these:

I prefer these actually...

I like those better too. Even with the somewhat questionable elbow patches…

Hey I’ll take either of those jersey’s over what the Avs are wearing right now.

Nope

Black jersey = FAIL

(Not in general, Black jerseys can look nice. But I don’t want the Avs to be one of the 100 billion teams that think they need a black jersey.)

But would you rather have a black jersey or continue to wear the Unipron?

Meteor?

Honestly, i’d rather the unipron. As bad as it is, at least when i was at the Sharks game the other night, i was able to tell who were Avs fans, because of the colors.

Black just feels like robots.

Yes, but,

Black is the color of mourning, which is what we are all doing for this season, team, etc….

Get rid of the loser point

08-09 Avs- can we decline the penalty?

by TheRed on Mar 27, 2009 12:27 AM MDT up reply actions  

They look like practice jerseys to me.

Go Avs! Let's get some goals!

i love those jerseys

considered buying one actually

How long before?

O’Neill learns to not check, stand next to the crease and screen his own goaltender while watching guys wide open in scoring positions, and generally suck at clearing the puck and at breakout passes? Only then can he fit in with our D core. Oh, he needs to sign for over $3M per year too. Leopold was too cheap, so they sent him on his way.

O’Neil will learn everything within his first shift!

by mel624 on Mar 27, 2009 12:20 PM MDT up reply actions  

At least he's consistent

6 points and -8 or -9 for each of the past two years. Consistency at its finest. He’ll bring a new dimension to the Avs.
