It's that time of the year again, folks. Hockey season kicks off soon, which means that it is time for another rendition of the Avalanche Blogger Roundtable. For those who aren't familiar, the roundtable is a virtual meeting of the minds where as many Avalanche bloggers we can find weigh in on different topics about the upcoming season.
This is the 4th year for the roundtable. We started off modestly in 2007, expanded considerably in 2008 and then had a mammoth contribution for the 2009 version. We're still getting responses in, but it looks like this is year's participation level is going to come pretty close to least year's.
This year's event kicks off on Monday morning. There will be 9 questions (because 9 is the new 19), 3 per day. To make life a little simpler, all questions will be hosted here at MHH (but participating bloggers can run them on their own sites as well). The idea behind the roundtable is to fill space introduce readers to as many of the excellent Avalanche blogs that are floating around the web, and this year will be no exception. Many of the fine blogs you are already familiar with will again be on board, but we also have several new Avalanche bloggers taking part.
Check back Monday morning to read everyone's expertly amateur analysis on the Avs' upcoming season and stay with us through the week as all 9 questions are unveiled. Note, if you are an Avalanche blogger and haven't heard from me, shoot me an email (it's in my profile) and I'll send you an invite, as all Avs' bloggers are invited.

let’s just not make it a habit and then we wont have to start deleting posts, because that wastes internet power. or something.

Um, don’t tempt the BANHAMMER.

Funny...
This is the only place I ever post “First!”. And only because it’s ridiculous. Still, this post has gotten more replies than anything I’ve posted in months.

not this year. we did that last year and it was way cool but a lot of administrative work and Mike is no longer easily suckered into sacrificing what little free time he has to put that together.

Funny you mention that. Every time math is mentioned in any of my classes (like Estates, or Contracts back during first year), a collective groan can be heard around the classroom.
Law school is for otherwise smart people who never did well in math.

My Dad graduated from Michigan Law School
And they accepted his application even though he had crappy scores in math but good scores everywhere else, they just assumed he was good at math as well.
I loved the comparisons he had on the side par….like goals last season compared to this seasons…..even though that was mostly in the season that shall not be remembered.

I haven’t given up on bringing that over. I know I’ve been promising that for a while. like 2 years or so

Almost as long as Joe’s list of 19.

Going from 10 days (if I recall correctly) to 3 days – clearly this exercise is trying to mirror the Avs in operating just above the cap floor.
The original 19 questions were a bit old and used up. Joe (yeah, I don’t know who he is either) and the “Powers That Be” decided on going with a much newer and younger line of questions (except for Detroit Dave, who wanted to use a bunch of old, used up and generally poorly thought out questions that no one would like. However, if memory serves, DDDC did want to exclude question #40). Oh, and I still don’t know what a “mod” is (unless it’s three unemployed people from Detroit standing there wondering why the statue of Jimmy Howard they are putting up in front of them is only made of silver and not gold like Lord Howard deserves).
Matt Duchene, better at being Pavel Datsyuk than Pavel Datsyuk!

Kids today!
2010-2011 Colorado Avalanche: pretty good at hockey since they can't get into the bars yet.
I have to say, I’m really pleased with how this is coming together. We’ve got a lot of great answers. There are a lot of familiar faces, but also some new contributors this year. I think this is going to be a lot of fun.
