Hmmm, he did take a few more shift

I apologize to the nurse. But not to crack town.

And with the 32nd pick in the 2009 NHL draft, the Red Wings select: Someone other than Ryan O'Reilly. LOL@Detoilet.

See, I look up from my shenanigans with Hot Pocket once in a while to notice a few things. (yes, I used the word shenanigans & the pun was intended)

Hope he’s back after the Olympics.

The Avalanche, clearly, are down with No PP.

Can’t say this surprises me. Hope he’s good to go soon.

Foote

Hoping for Foote. Yikes…ONeill turns my hair gray.

Damn! I just read about Elias being put on the IR with a concussion- and it got me thinking about Wilson and how I was hoping to hell he’d be ok. He’s hands down my favorite Av, I hope he gets better very, very soon.

At the beginning of the Oil-Nucks game

Sportsnet showed the man games lost stats for the league. The Avs are third with 190 man games lost. Compare this to the Fladouches, who are 28th (I think) with something like 53.

in man games lost to injury that is….

If you look at the number the Avs have more MGL than both the Canucks (187) and Hurricanes (188), meaning they are 3rd overall, but Mirtle’s is looking at the fact that Vancouver and Carolina have played one game fewer; so their number could still surpass the Avs. Though the longer Foote, Wilson and Hejduk remain out the higher the Avs number will go as well.

I don’t like all the negativity to Mirtle. It’s unwarranted and makes us look like a pretty douchy fanbase!

Yes. We should all be completely tame and respectful at all times. Even if it is just for our own entertainment and completely exaggerated for the sake of being spiteful… And by spiteful I mean kinda like taking one quote and and mashing it into the ground. “sexual relations”, “read my lips”, “It depends on what the meaning of the words ‘is’ is.”, "I think we ought to raise the age at which juveniles can have a gun."etc.

I get what you’re saying but it kinda looks to me like the wheels fell off in the second half…

Ill check with Mirtle to be sure.

There’s no negativity here – thus the =P after it. Mirtle is and always has been the bomb, he along with In The Cheap Seats were 2 of the first hockey blogs I read.

There is a big difference between making fun of what someone says that is proven to be inaccurate and criticising the person themself. For example, just ‘cause there is a meme here that Tyler Arnason is a less than extraordinary hockey player doesn’t mean we think he’s a bad person. I’m sure Mirtle can see that this is the case.

by HugoAgogo on Jan 21, 2010 3:44 AM MST up reply actions  

Don't know

He just got a little bit pissy with me, I think. Including a response that didn’t make a lick of sense. Then deleted both of our comments from the thread.

Plus, his blog is pretty much dead now. He is working more full time for a Toronto paper and only has time to post block quotes from other people. Not much of a blog, imo.

Yeah…its sad from the rink has essentially died.

I think the thing is some people were going further than necessary to criticise him, it was clearly his subjective analysis of the data he found. The reason we jumped on it was also because it really embodied the underdog status that the Avs had early in the season.

But, if it offended him and others here, then that sucks and hopefully they see us for the classy (and highly sarcastic) bunch we are.

FFFFFFUUUUUUUUU…..

Hopefully #9 is not ten less than #19

by InYoFace on Jan 20, 2010 9:44 PM MST reply actions  

Seriously though

I have been impressed with the teams depth. Sucks losing Wilson for a while but hopefully another D-man can show his stuff while he is out.

If its Preissing though, bad things will happen…

by HugoAgogo on Jan 20, 2010 11:06 PM MST up reply actions  

Offenses I advocate the ban hammer for:

Suggesting we resign Shamwow

Implying that Hedjuk won’t retire an Av

Supporting Tom Preissing skating with an A on him basically ever again

I call we banhammer PL if he doesn’t resign Tyler “The funniest guy on the intrawebs” Arnason the first chance he gets.

Look at 4,5,6 on that list

All playoff teams. All potential division leaders. That’s just impressive.

Speaking of rookie defenseman.

Did we ever get a reason for trading Nigel Williams?

Rumour has it...

Apparently Williams was a good ol’ fashioned ‘locker room cancer’…

by HugoAgogo on Jan 21, 2010 2:08 PM MST up reply actions  

This was the same reason he dropped from the 1st round of the draft to the mid-2nd round also.

Further, his stats this year are way down from last year (1-6-7 in 32 GP v 7-14-21 in 70 GP), so I’m not sure he’d be a defender the Avs would want to recall anyhow.
