Troll: “someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room or blog, with the primary intent of provoking other users into an emotional response”

Stopping in and saying OMG JDLR IS SO TERRIBLE can be construed as such. If you were defend your position as to why he sucks, that would be a constructive start of conversation, especially given the prevailing opinion even outside of Colorado that JDLR is a stud

Brandon Marshall, Tony Scheffler, Jay Cutler, Mike Nolan, Bobby turner, and Rick Dennison.. Bad Apples, the whole lot.

Josh McDaniel’s little brother… awesome QB coach, as you can tell from his experience as the quarterbacks coach at…Massillon Jackson High School in Ohio.

sigh.

What Redhawk is leaving out is the part where he has no trouble saying “Fuck you” to people, which I’m sure wouldn’t fly at most of the blogs around here.

I can’t tell what you’re responding to.

Exactly. It also helps that Galiardi and Yip are good in their own end. Actually, I think the Avs’ third period issues started to subside when Yip got the callup. That kid must be like Trevor Hoffman or something.

that the Avs have the most arrogant and fucking ridiculous PR department out there. A flat refusal to market this team and simply believing “if we win, they’ll show up” is infuriating. They have a GOLDEN opportunity to market one of the youngest and most exciting teams in the league and they’re sitting back and saying “What, the last ten years weren’t good enough? They need to see more?”.

I was at the Nashville game on Friday, and the best deal we could get was the family pack, but that was still $26 per person, even after the game had already started. $130 later, we’re in the stadium to witness a half-empty building. $10 for parking. $36 for four Blue Moons.

I love the Avs and I had a great time at the game, but I can understand why normal working families are saying nuts to the whole thing.

I’ve been noticing some great deals on stub hub the day of, but it’s always been when i can’t go. So I kick myself for looking in the first place and getting tempted.

Seriously, friday night prime loge center for $30.

So much so that I am trying to find a job in the Navy that will move me back there. The Navy…in Colorado.

Hence the job hunting trip in late Feb. I figure I should just move my ass out there and take the thousand-plus bucks I spend each year on trips and buy season tix or tix packs.

Don’t forget, the corporations had to nix silly expenses like Avs tickets as well. When the company tickets come back, that will help greatly.

I don’t like that the Canucks have that built-in excuse of that massive road swing. It’s that type of thing that can give them an “us against the world” mentality much like the Avs had to start the season.

I’m bummed that the Avs have won six straight and are still only two points up on Vancouver.

I’m not sorry for them, I’ve just never seen that many consecutive road games.

The Avs have had many of their guys up and down from LE over the last 2 and a half years. This year we are really seeing what happens when the systems are similar with the plug and play effect on every player who spent any time in LE within the that timespan. That list is much longer than the 3 guys you mentioned. It helps that LE is still running systems that Sacco installed while there.

Kinda crazy to see that only 6 players have been in the playoffs more than once. And two of them(Wolski/Liles) haven’t seen the third round.

This.

And I don’t want the chemistry of this team messed with. I realize there are upsides to trading for elements this team may need for a deep playoff run (a power shot from the point) but the tight bond the players have could really be broken if they trade away a piece and bring in someone new. The Olympic break is going to do enough to weaken the ties, as any time away will. I think they’d be smart to leave well enough alone. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. Let sleeping dogs lie. What other cliches can we pile on here?

but I am not so sure that I want Tucker traded right now. Now hear me out. :-)

There have been a lot of the younger players on the team, that in their post-game (even Yip in an intermission interview) that have credited a lot of their getting up to speed on the NHL game quickly to being mentored by Tucker. If I am not mistaken, I even think that won of the rookies (maybe O’Reilly) lives with him. One thing that you cannot teach is NHL experience, and if it takes me watching Tucker throw himself off of people and onto the ice and trip over the blueline, maybe even a faceoff circle or two, to help mentor all of our young guys, then that’s what I am willing to do. Standing by for chastising…

Svatos just didn’t get the memo?

I did it too…er first…now we’re twinsies!!

thanks man. i’m sure there’s been a svatos bashing void without me. :)
