The Buffalo Sabres and Colorado Avalanche are two teams with surprisingly similar identities, but going in completely different directions at this point. I'll leave the guesswork to you as to which of the teams is on the downward path. (Hint - their name rhymes with Gravel Ranch)
Both teams have struggled with scoring on the power play at various points of the year. Both teams were predicted to do much worse than they actually have. Both teams have a fairly young core with a contender for the Calder trophy. Above all though, both teams have been carried by their stud goaltenders.
The heroics of both Ryan Miller and Craig Anderson are well documented, with both "guardians" (Thanks, Pepsi Center!) standing on their heads for their teams all year long. If the Avs and Sabres had been starting Budaj and Lalime all year, this game would probably be between two last place teams rather than a game between two serious playoff contenders. Both players are probably in the running for the Vezina trophy and if their great play keeps up, perhaps even the Hart.
The Sabres are on an upswing, having won 6 straight, along with being able to wrangle at least a point their last 10 games at home. Last night they managed a 3-2 drubbing of the Maple Leafs that probably should have been closer to 8-2, the way both teams played. The Avalanche are losers of 2 straight, both in horrifying fashion to awful teams. Their last game was a 2-1 failure against the Hurricanes, which probably should have been closer to 12-1, the way both teams played.
I hate to bring up another "battle of the Calder trophy candidates" conversation – we know how that worked out with Duchene vs. Tevares – but rookie Defenseman Tyler Myers of the Sabres is making quite a name for himself. He’s been playing shutdown defense all year long and his offensive prowess is finally giving Lindy Ruff a chance to play some non-wingers on the point when the power play arrives. Just last night he had a 3 point game against Toronto. We can only hope that Matt Duchene can manage to break him for a 3 point game of his own!
I expect Andy to get the start for the Avalanche not only because this is a huge game but because Budaj is not allowed to start two games in a row, as we all know. Miller will most likely get the nod for the Sabres - he's gotten just about as much work as Anderson has this year - but there is a chance Lalime gets the start, I'm sure.
I see this as a great chance for a statement game if the Avalanche can manage a win over the tough Buffalo team. The momentum might even carry them to some victories in the tough stretch ahead against Calgary, New Jersey and Edmonton.
Then again I’m a fan of both teams so whoever wins, I win!

I’m a fan of both as well, but the Avs just a bit more cause they’re my home team and all.
After Mcleod turned down Lappy earlier this season, do ya think there’s a chance we’ll see a Cody Mcthrowdown? Not that I really wanna see either get pummelled, but I’m curious how that’d go.

It’d go a lot easier if Lappy didn’t play for Philadelphia.

I knew I wrote that question horribly as soon as I’d posted it.
What I’m getting at is that Mcleod didn’t seem to wanna fight Laperriere because they’re friends. My question actually had nothing to do with Lappy, but McCormick instead. I was using the Lappy instance as an example.
Cody Mcleod + Cody McCormick = Cody Mcthrowdown

The Avs can only hope and pray
that Lalime is in net tonight. As suckwad has UZ says he is, his stats are actually almost idential to Anderson’s (yikes, what does that say about Anderson?!) Lalime has a .917 SA% and 2.60 GAA while Andy sports a Vezina winning .916 SA% and .269 GAA (oh shit, those stats are actually a little worse). Miller – he is a Vezina caliber goalie with a .935 SA% and a 2.04 GAA.
Anderson is going to have to work really hard at keeping those pucks out of the net. In his last 6 starts he has allowed 3 goal in 5 of them. (For all you inquiring minds, in SUXXORS last 6 starts, he has allowed 3 goals in, wait, hold the phone NONE of those game). Unless Miller takes an entire bottle of Nyquil before the game, or NurseBeachie does an erotic dance in front of the net, I doubt seriously the Avs are going to score 4 goals against him. But who knows; I believe in miracles.
I thought a lot of you folks who were over posting on the game thread last night might appreciate the tone of my post. No?
Colorado Avalanche: Please excuse the mess while we are under construction.
In Andy’s defense he has played a heck of a lot more games than Lalime has. Both are having good years though. So far, this season Lalime is sporting his best SV% ever at .917.
I watch Buffalo when ever they are on, unless of course the Avs are on the ice (they don’t seem to always play). Buffalo has been struggling to find offense lately and even a guy like Derek Roy has been playing on the 4th line at times trying to shake things up. Unfortunately the means Buffalo will over come those offensive woes and score a bunch of goals tonight…damn it.

I have decided that the Avs special skill this year is to give goalies their “best game of the year, stand on their heads” awards.
"I think you should win if you have a two-goal lead. When you stop playing and stop working hard, that's when the other team is going to be all over you the whole time." - Peter Forsberg
Those woes have stopped recently, actually. They’ve come back from 3 goal deficits two games in a row recently against the Pens and Thrashers. (Sound like a familiar story against the Avs, eh?)

Yes, they have, but 2 games is not enough to say they’ve overcome their struggles. It is however a good start in the right direction. Even last night they struggled against the leafs…Myers was the only guy that seemed to be able to get any offense going. It worked for them…but I think they are still trouble by the lack of offense.
And Myers is looking like a very good pick up for them (and my fantasy team).

Well, like I said, they do have similar identities. Breaking down after getting leads and suddenly losing the ability to score is one of the many things they have in common!

Your love affair with Budaj is getting to be obnoxious. It’s great that you really like him… I understand. Can’t you just like him and be secure about it? Is it going to make you feel better if everyone likes Budaj the way you do?
I like Tucker, but I don’t assault people that constantly rail on him.. I understand. It’s called a losing fight. Just deal with it.
“That was a soft goal by Budaj”
“STFU you brain dead hypocrite! Criticize Anderson exactly the same way”
“Thanks… I now see the light and I will be fairly critical of all professional athletes.”

by Pinchy The Lobster on Jan 9, 2010 11:08 AM MST up reply actions
And when the criticism of player like Budaj is unjust it is just as obnoxious as you say the people are who defend him. No one denies the second goal last night was bad (at least none that I’ve seen)…but it is getting old and irritating when people continue to give Budaj such hell for it, yet those same people do not say the same about Anderson. That is beyond hypocritical! It is also hypocritical (or at least short sighted) to not acknowledge that Budaj should never have even had to face that shot, but he did because the “team” failed to not only clear the puck, but they got blown away for the second time of the night by an old fart (Whitney).
I am not a fan of Tucker, never have been, but I was more than fair to him the first month of the season when he was playing well. I even waited after he came back to see if he would regain that form, unfortunately he hasn’t. I was a fan of Clark and even defended him through most of last season, because it was possible his injury the previous season was still effecting him, now it is obvious he has lost a lot of what I thought I saw in him. The same, unfortunately may be happening with Liles, and you see one of his most obvious defenders, Beachie, calling him out.
Budaj has let in one bad goal in his last 5 or 6 starts and people are right back to what a terrible goalie he is, and it already obnoxious. The whole team play like a pile of Bertuzzi last night. In the third period Budaj made some exceptional save to at least give the team a chance to come back and not end with a 3-0 loss or worse. But the fact remains that the “TEAM” did not show up so stop blaming ONE GUY!
Why also is it obnoxious for someone to point out that Anderson has not been playing well the past few games (allowing 3+ goals in 4 of his last 6 starts)? It’s true! She is not saying he shouldn’t be starting, or that he sucks. She is just simply pointing out that while a number of people are jumping Budaj’s ass for one bad goal, he has been playing very well in his limited starts and in that stretch has better numbers than Andy does. On the season Budaj has a better SV% and GAA than does Anderson. Unfortunately he hasn’t always had the goal support. In Budaj’s last 5 starts (2-3-0) the team has scored 9 goals and the opposition scored 9 goals (at least two of those were ENG -Pittsburgh on Dec 3rd), in Andy’s last 5 starts (3-2-0) the team has scored 15 goals while giving up 13 goals. Who’s getting the best results? I guess all that matters is wins so Andy is the best with his one more win, and Budaj sucks.

You missed the entire point of my post. We should just be arguing who the best band in the world is.

See. All of us idiots thought the whole team played great except for Budaj…
This is EXACTLY why it gets to be obnoxious. It’s an overreaction to the whole thing. I criticized Budaj during his loss, therefore I am putting all of the blame on him?
Sooner or later you are going to have to accept the fact that he is being treated unfairly and stop trying to convince everyone of how they should feel/think about it.

No I did not miss your point, but it is obvious that you missed the point of hockeymoms post. Never did she defend Budaj, nor did she get upset at you or anyone else for bashing him. All she did was point out that Lalime has very similar numbers to Anderson’s this season even though UZ has said he (Lalime) sucks. She then said that Anderson would have to work very hard to win tonight (and with the way the team has been playing that’s a fair assesment). To help make her point of how Anderson has not been great she mentioned that he has allowed 3 goals or more in 5 of his last 6 (actually she was off because it’s 4 of his last 6). For comparison she mentioned that Budaj has not let in more than three goals in any of his last 5 starts (of the 4 goals let in in Pittsburgh 2 were ENG).
Some how you took her post as a defense of Budaj, or a love affair. And put words in her mouth:
"STFU you brain dead hypocrite! Criticize Anderson exactly the same way"
The 2009-10 Avalanche: Have the wheels fallen off?
I'm The Canary - but I'm not cute nor cuddly, and I don't sing.
I was referring to the Carolina live game thread post she made. But those things get overlooked when you jump into someone’s argument.
what I find so interesting though
is when Anderson lets in a soft goal (and he DOES, and you know it), why don’t you guys go APE SHIT over that? Why don’t I read FUCK ANDERSON! GET HIS ASS OUT OF THE NET! WHY THE FUCK IS SACCO PLAYING HIM! FUCKING SOFT GOAL!
NOT ONCE have any of you done that. It’s like it is totally okay when he does it. That Islanders game is a perfect example. That 3rd period back breaking softie. Why didn’t everyone crawl all over Anderson’s ass about it. NOT ONE OF YOU REACTED THE WAY YOU DO WHEN BUDAJ LETS IN A SOFT GOAL. IT’S RIDICULOUS
It’s the hypocricy of all of you that drives me up the wall. If you want to get mad at Budaj for a soft goal and react the way you do, fine. But do the same with Anderson. It just makes you look as stupid as the muppets at the DP. I would hate to think that the people here at MHH are that brain dead.
I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying.
by Pinchy The Lobster on Jan 9, 2010 2:39 PM MST up reply actions
Actually I did say in the game against the Islanders that the final goal Anderson gave up was incredibly soft…and have pointed out several goals that Anderson should have had. Also praised Budaj when Budaj deserved praise. But again, I never get the benefit of the doubt during any of that…I’m just a Budaj hater
If this is a re-build...we should do it every year.
actually
you are not the one I was talking about. I don’t believe you were on the game thread last night, nor have any of your comments been like the ones I read on the game thread. You have commented on the soft goals by Anderson and I have even said something about it. And when you talk about the soft goals Budaj let’s in, you don’t go into a hateful diatribe filled with ugly explicatives.
You are one of the few that I have seen capable of doing it.
Colorado Avalanche: Please excuse the mess while we are under construction.
You are one of the few that I have seen capable of doing it.
And by that I am sure she means being able to be critical of Budaj without being ugly about it.

Personally, I am just tired of the personal attacks. If the reply above was meant to be about a post from last nights thread then there should have been a link to that post, a quote from the post, or it should have been done in the other thread. I felt hockeymom was being attacked unfairly, and felt I should reply. I too have been the “victim” of some personal attacks lately and have been called out by name in some game day threads, and I don’t understand why it happened, or even what I did.
I have left other boards for this exact kind of thing. I don’t have a problem with disagreement, just the tone or the way it is done. I don’t like it when people start calling other names or making personal attacks.
But consider me done with this.

I certainly didn’t mean to get you drawn into this. I was at my son’s hockey game and was unable to respond. I appreciate your defense of me.

No problem really. Like I said, if the context had been there, it probably would have been different. But from your above post, it looked like a personal attack because you didn’t say anything that I thought should have been responded too in that way. I just couldn’t let that one go.
You’ve been here almost as long as I have and I think I have a decent feeling for you posts and tone and you’ve always been pretty level headed. But I also understand why you posted what you did last night.

what I did on the thread is not my usually thing. I don’t think you guys are stupid, hypocritical, and brain dead. If I did, I wouldn’t be here. You are right, Budaj is treated unfairly and I need to accept that, because just as I don’t like to read to ugly diatribes against him, I don’t like to post ugly diatribes about it. It brings everybody down.
We all are passionate about this team in our own way, I that is what I love about it here.

Lalime’s stats are padded because of two starts he had against the Penguins where he completely shut them down. his very, very few other starts against cruddier teams, he looked god-awful, enough so that he was actually removed from his backup position for a game!!
So while he’s been getting better, I still highly doubt the Sabres would be in contention for 1st in the East with him in there.

my Buffalo anecdote
My wife and I had a wedding to go to in Rochester a few years back, right around this time of the year, and my wife surprised me by having us go a day early to Buffalo and take in a Sabres – Bruins game. It was in the middle of a ferocious cold snap – schools in the area were all closed because of the sub zero temps – so I guess I got to experience the real Buffalo, right?
anyway, we go to the game and I’m sitting next to this little guy, never says a word, just sits quietly watching the game. that is, until a fight broke out, at which point he jumped up and started pantomining a fight. It was like he was posessed by a demon or something. And then the fight was over, he stopped shadow boxing, sat back down, and never moved again for the rest of the game.
