Game 6 Preview: Colorado Avalanche at New York Rangers

The Avalanche finish off an early-season road trip tonight, taking on the Rangers at Madison Square Garden. Since the Avs are 2-2 on the trip so far, tonight's game will mean the difference between successful or meh.
On paper, this doesn't shape up to be a defensive battle. The Rangers are averaging over 4 goals a game and the Avs are averaging three. Meanwhile, the Avs and Rangers rank 28th and 30th in goals allowed and are giving up 34 and 35 shots a game, respectively. The game isn't played on paper, though, and the Craig Anderson - Henrik Lundqvist match up should be a good one.
The Rangers are missing Vinny Prospal, Marion Gaborik and Chris Drury, which has them a bit thin offensively. Brandon Dubinsky and Sean Avery lead the team in scoring with 4 points each. One interesting tidbit: Ranger's rookie defenseman Michael Sauer is the brother of former Avalanche Kurt Sauer.
But enough about the game. Let's talk about game thread graphics. As you may know, we've accidentally started this thing where we use a user-created pic for the game threads. Since this kind of just happened without any planning, we don't really have a system in place to to pick a photo if more than one are submitted. Currently, I've just been using the first one posted, but should we tweak that? Do I pick my favorite? Or the one with the most recs? Do we need a poll? What else do we have to talk about on a Monday morning?
Don't forget to follow us on Facebook and Twitter. Oh, and get yourself added to the MHH stalker map while you're at it.

I had guessed that gl was for Grand Lake but I wasn’t sure. I don’t think I was ever very specific about where I was other than “the mountains”, or maybe a passing reference to the glory that is Parshall.
Yeah, It’s not been a secret that gl is for Grand Lake, But anyone not from GC had trouble with it.
I remember a Tabernash reference, but it was prob Hopf.

well Grand Lake was definitely not good luck for me yesterday. My fuel pump died while driving down a dirt road in the national forest just outside of Grand Lake (in fact, I could see town, I just couldn’t get there). Not the way to end a day of hiking with the kids. Of course I deserve that to some extent…hiking during hunting season is not the smartest thing to do.
A hunter once scared me. I was walking with the dog, on our property at the cottage and this hunter came gun out over a hill on our property (you could se our cottage- we weren’t far) and got very angry that I wasn’t being quiet.

and true, hiking during hunting season, not the smartest thing.
You obviously got out, you didn’t have to leave your truck did ya?
"That F******* sandwich had it coming!" -Mike@MHH
No, I ended up with a hunter towing me up the hills and me coasting in neutral down the hills. That guy really bailed us out. We did pick our hiking location based entirely on a lack of hunters present…and also relied on the really loud bell around the dogs neck.
oh, and also…it was first rifle season which is usually fairly tame and it is mostly responsible hunters. Next weekend for second season? I’m not sure I’ll even wander out of the house. That is when the complete idiots get out (not that all hunters in that time are idiots…more that is when all the morons come for some reason).
True, we’re counting on the “good” hunter calls to start rolling in next week.
This week overall pretty tame.
"That F******* sandwich had it coming!" -Mike@MHH
Best sighting of the weekend – While coasting down the road, I saw an older guy coming uphill on a motor scooter (think Vespa style) with his rifle across his lap. So what is the plan here? He sees an elk, parks the scooter, and shoots it. Now how exactly is he going to get even a little bit of that elk out on a scooter? And by the way, we are talking about a road that really needs to be dirt bike or 4wd. I wish I could have stopped and gotten a picture.
Thats AWESOME!!

According to AD, Sacco may dress 7 defensemen tonight
That doesn’t say great things about the condition of Yip’s groin, or Sacco’s opinion on whoever gets the healthy scratch among Porter/Olver/Dupuis.
I think it might speak more to the job Holos did offensively on Saturday.

It will be interesting to see the ice time and shifts for the different D to see who is the main candidate for the bench next game (or whenever the team returns to 6 D).
*Update: Joe Sacco said he is "leaning" toward skating all seven defensemen tonight. He said Holos’ play Saturday was good and that he likes the right-handed shot he brings to the PP. So, Sacco said he’d likely dress only 11 forwards.

I made my location north of Windsor (I’m 6 miles north of Windsor, 5 miles east of Ft. Collins in Weld County). I didn’t put the dot at my house a mile to the north, though, I put it in front of the office of our (apparently very empty, at the time) sheep feedlot.

Not anymore
When I was in high school, I knew a lot of people that were owners/had season tickets (Martin Lind’s son was in my class, I played hockey with him growing up). The year they last won the title was my senior year, and I went to nearly every game, including all of the postseason games. Minor league or not, championships are cool as hell to see.
The following year, I probably went to about half of them. Since then, though, I’ve probably been to ten or so.
I do have a voucher for two free tickets to a game for this year, so I’ll have to use that. The games have always been a lot of fun, and it’s awesome that they always pack the building. It’s really quite an atmosphere.

Am I the only one that was thinking that A-ver-y might be taking this game off for chopping down the tree that is Mike Komisarek?
IMO that’s a disgrace.
You are either saying that two, two-handed chops to the legs isn’t discipline worthy (even for Avery) or that this kind of thing is so run-of-the-mill that there’s no reason to punish.
Either way it’s a fail.

May I just say that a 4-2 record looks so much better than a 3-3 record. And a winning road trip would be awesome. Duchene with his first career fight with Avery tonight, Radar with a shorthanded beauty (anyone else see Jordan Staal type potential with him?) and Stewart with yet another clapper for the game winner. Excited.

Duchene, yes. But let Stewart get a hold of Avery. Please?
"I'm gonna fix that last joke by taking out all the words and adding new ones." - MH
I always pictured it in my head as Avery kind of jumping him and after getting facewashed, Duchene sticks up for himself and lands a few rights. I am certainly not adverse to someone jumping in and pounding Avery with a real fight.
so to be clear, everyone would like me to swap Stewart and Duchene in my prediction and give the game winner to young Matt?

That works. I was saying to Yeti on Sat how I love that every person who fights Stewart immediately turtles and then sort of resigns himself to the fact he’s going to have to do SOMETHING or get branded a total and utter coward. Some guys pop their heads up for a minute and clearly say, “Oh hell no” and turtle again. Others try to power through it but still get their asses handed to them. I’d like to see Avery pull his cocky tough guy routine only to realize that turtling is his only option for survival and thus embarrassed on highlight reels all week long.

To me too. Little things, like I used to live about a quarter mile from Dan and ride my bike right past his complex. [I was on Syracuse by Rosamond park]. Doc lives right near where one of my friends used to, and I would drive up and party at her place and get yelled at by the neighbors. kinda fascinating.

There’s something special about all newspaper websites that really draws out the crazy in people.
Mile High Hockey: Significantly better than the experts predicted, just like the Avalanche.
7 Defenseman is idiotic. The ego of this organIZation is getting out of hand. Scratch Duchene. He’s already been demoted to the third line center. He’s a prima donna.
They made no changes in the roster, therefore, things only will get worse.

by David Driscoll-Carignan on Oct 18, 2010 2:26 PM MDT up reply actions
Just because Matt Duchene has 5 points in 5 games does not mean he’s been playing well. In fact, he’s looked really weak on the puck every game this season. I hope people realize that he’s always going to be a 60-65 point a season player. That’s who he is. He’s not going to be the 100-point guy everyone expects him to become. He’s a second line center at best, 3rd line center at worst. There’s no debating that he’s a good player. But he’s not a great player.

The Avs are simply trying to do what team like Calgary, Columbus, Carolina, Florida, and others teams likem them have been doing for years. Trying to make the team seem competitive, when in fact they are not close. The Avs tanked their 2008 season to position themselves to get a top pick. Unfortunately for them, they picked the wrong player. When you have an Evander Kane available, you do not take a Matt Duchene. The Avs fluked everyone last year. It is all done to create false hope.
these are very entertaining

? as I remember there was a huge drop off after the top 3 in that year’s draft. Kane’s not horrible, but I’m pretty sure that if you traded them for each other, Atlanta would have to send back a lot more for duchene. that’s just crazy talk.

I hate it when good players try to impersonate great players by scoring five points in five games to start the season in their second season in the NHL at the age of 19. Such a faker.

Man, MHH is fired up for Avery. You know that’s exactly what he wants?
He’s fake-dropped the gloves on Foote for an instigator and taunted Lappy in to roughing penalties. He’s just a huge distraction and I think Sacco should give the team strict orders to ignore the guy.
he’s tied for the lead in points for the rangers and only has two minors all year, he might have been told to calm it down a bit until they get their depth back.

I’d say he is just getting away with stuff so far. He certainly did something to get under Wisniewski’s skin, and he took those whacks at Komisariks legs.
I think Wisniewski was just “blowing” him off. Unfortunately for him the camera caught it.

You’ve probably said that is where you worked on some thread in here, but it never registered before. The next time I’m stuck doing the Denver to home drive during a game I know where I’m stopping.
I have been planning on stopping off after skiing for about a year, but it hasnt happened yet.
Thanks Joe...
I can’t imagine doing that drive anymore, especially on a Sunday evening. If you are doing it on a Sunday (or even a Saturday), I can’t see how you don’t stop for an hour or 7 to wait for the traffic to lighten up.
Go early, get your snow in, and be through IS by 1:30 and you’re ok. Any later than that and you’re waiting. Same deal in the Summer. That’s why I’m a night worker and a day skier. M-F FTW.
