Game 15 Preview: Colorado Avalanche at Columbus Blue Jackets

The new-look Avalanche are in Columbus tonight to take on the Blue Jackets. The Avs have won the last 5 games against the BJs and are 28-7-1 lifetime, so instead of yammering on about Derick Brassard or Mathieu Garon or that freaking annoying cannon I'll skip the niceties and move on to more important details, like sorting out the Avs' revolving-door roster.
Here's what we know for sure: Peter Budaj will be between the pipes for the 7th consecutive game. Joe Sacco hinted that John Grahame might play tomorrow in Detroit, but I think it would take a big meltdown tonight by Budaj or the whole team for that to happen. New arrival Ryan O'Byrne will be available and while Skipper Joe wouldn't commit, he clearly has no confidence in David Liffiton (7:30 on Tuesday). Figure on O'Byrne to start. Adam Foote may play Saturday, sending someone to the pressbox and Liffiton to Cleveland. If no one gets hurt tonight, that is.
Up front, things are a little murkier. Pencil Greg Mauldin into David Van der Gulik's spot on the 4th line. Phillipe Dupuis will be the center...and that's about all we know. There's talk that Kevin Porter will skate on the 1st line with Stastny and Stewart. David Jones is expected to play tonight...but where? If Porter does play on the 1st line, it would seem like Jones would pop into the 3rd line and bump Cody McLeod down to the 4th line. Honestly, it all sounds a little Frankensteinesque. Or maybe I'm thinking of Marty Feldman as Igor.
I do have a special request - we're trying to get to 500 facebook followers by the end of the year so. Many of the hockey blogs are doing really creative things to bolster their facebook numbers. As you well know, I am not creative. So I'm just going to ask nicely. Facebook: Like Us If You Don't Have Anything Better To Do.

Stats on the main page are screwed-up. It all originates from the last game wich is marked down as an OT lost. Just a heads-up.

I thought it was pretty Osgood to take a Bertuzzi behind the Draper, but it ended up blowing the Abdelkader of my Kronwall.
I “liked” a long time ago, does that make me an “old timer?” And can I join folk in telling those darn kids to get off my lawn?

we bother to play these silly “hockey” games. Hasn’t someone already proved we suck using super duper math skills? Using both fuzzynutz and corset we can predict that the Avs will lose the next 10 games by 3 touchdowns and a half dozen fresh baked apple pies.

I’m the biggest Yip fanboy here, but I like him a lot better on Dutchy’s wing than on SoS’. Put Jones on 1st LW and let him show what he’s got.
2010-2011 Colorado Avalanche: pretty good at hockey since they can't get into the bars yet.
100% agree, despite the fact I am not a huge Yip fan. He’s looked much better than Jones on Duchene’s wing than Jones. And he’s added some more physicality to his game since the move up as well, which is one of my biggest complaints about him — his physicality is not always there. sometimes he seems to get this idea he’s a sniper type and floats/dangles all the time. He needs to be playing more like a power forward or skilled grinder — going to the net, hitting, and getting dirty along the boards (twss).
If Yip played with Galiardi’s motor and style, he’d be a top 6 player for sure. While he’ll never be the defender or skater Galiardi is, his shot is excellent, his offensive instincts are solid, and he’s got the size to play big. I think his ceiling higher than Galiardi’s (I still think Galiardi’s “expected value” as a player is higher though — motor/style are harder things to acquire for a 25 year old). Here’s hoping.
"I’m predicting 50pts in the NHL for Hensick next season. Anyone want to put $20 on it?" - DetAvs, Jun 18, 2010 3:45 AM EDT
Galiardi isn’t a good defender. His positioning is putrid. He’s good at pressuring the puck, and when his man is a D who isn’t good with the puck, he generates turnovers. He lacks the skill to do anything with the puck once he’s created the turnover, but it’s better to create the turnover than to not create the turnover.
Yip, on the other hand, has excellent defensive positioning. He doesn’t pressure the puck carrier like Galiardi does, but he also doesn’t put himself out of position defensively by pressuring the puck like Galiardi does either.
Yip is better defensively than Galiardi is. Galiardi is a better skater. Yip is a better forechecker, Galiardi is better at puck pressure. Yip is a much more offensively skilled player, he’s more durable, and he’s a lot more physical.
in a shocking turn of events, we disagree to a huge extent.
speaking of things about which we disagree and you are wrong about, how’s Hensick doing? more importantly, how am I going to get my $20? :)

In another shocking turn of events, you are too afraid to engage me and actually argue your point, so you duck back to your same old schtick.
As I said before, the bet was contingent upon Hensick being given the opportunity he was promised. It’s not my fault that the Blues didn’t live up to their word. But feel free to continue to bring it up, since that’s apparently all you can do as far as arguments go.
Out of curiosity, where is the article you got that said the Blues promised Hensick time in the NHL? Having never played for the Blues, I don’t see that they owed him anything. They gave Hensick an opportunity to try out for the team, and decided he wasn’t playing at a level worthy of making their team. As far as I am concerned, that is all they owed him.

none of which is documented anywhere other than in your comments. The Blues owe exactly Hensick what’s in his 2-way contract, and not a single thing more. They gave him the opportunity to make the team. He had 1 assist in the preseason. He blew it. You lost. Pay up.

1 assist and 1 g. He didn’t make it. I’m sure St. Louis isn’t going out of their way to keep him in the AHL just to screw him. If he could help them, they’d call him up. They aren’t

I’m not entirely sure how signing him to a two-way contract equates to a promise that he’ll play in the NHL, but maybe ‘two’ doesn’t mean what I think it means.
Two means he had an opportunity to make the big club and make a larger salary. He certainly had every opportunity to show them he was worth it. He didn’t. He showed no more promise than he showed when he was with us. Of course St. Louis management could just have a grudge against DetAvs and wanted him to lose out on $20. I tend to think they just weren’t all that impressed by T.J.

Yip is better defensively than Galiardi is.
This may be the most egregious scouting error on this site this season.

On one side is:
Me, Professional NHL Avs coaches (the same staff that took 3rd in the Jack Adams voting last season), numerous Advanced statistics (and non-advanced), and plenty of smart people on this site. I’d even guess Yip himself doesn’t think he’s better defensively than Galiardi
On the other side: You.
I’m, by no means, a great scout here, but I’m feeling confident here that I’m right.
For god’s sake Yip has exactly 1 second of short handed ice time this season.

Can’t wait to hear all the conspiracy theories out of Columbus when Foote doesn’t play. I don’t think he’s played a game over there since the trade. They may be on to something….
If he plays tomorrow night against Detroit….then yeah, I think they are on to something. At the least, I’d have to admit that it looks bad on the surface.
he played in both games in Columbus last year

Jackets fan here...
…just doing some research on the game tonight.
I think the “conspiracy theories” were really only that first year when the Jackets were contending and the Avs bottomed out, and he didn’t even travel to Columbus for either game. He did play in both games last year, and the fans got their chance to boo him. Sadly, we got smoked in both games, so there really wasn’t a whole lot of reason to boo Foote.
I think the cannon (why the hate?) is out of ammo after the 8-1 beat-down of the Blue Notes the other night. I’m just hopeful you guys don’t run us again tonight like on 10/30. That was embarrassing.
Cheers!
it’s not hate. Guns are cool, it’s jealousy.

ah, thanks. I just remembered the Columbus fans whinging over Foote “avoiding” them and forgot the part where he did actually play them last year.
Yeah, there was plenty of mockery in the ‘08-’09 season thinking that he was dodging Columbus while the Jackets went 4-0 against Colorado. Whether he was or wasn’t, i don’t really know/care. People were just mad because the perception was that he bailed on us in the spring of ’08 (the whole “he had the private jet gassed up and waiting on the runway on deadline day!!!” thing).
As for me, I can’t be mad at that deal. We turned the pick into RJ Umberger, who’s been the conscience of our club for two+ years and has contributed more than Foote ever did.
4-0 against Colorado
And for this, we thank you for Matt Duchene.

I have to say I’m not optimistic, as it looks like Nash will sit tonight with a lower-body knick, as will Nikita Filatov. We’ll have two forwards playing their first games of the season, and two 3rd/4th liners on the left wing on our top two lines. Suck.
Best of luck tonight, folks!

Wolski had a pretty sweet move and made a nice pass on the Hawks the other night. Then he disappeared the rest of the game
I thought it was pretty Osgood to take a Bertuzzi behind the Draper, but it ended up blowing the Abdelkader of my Kronwall.
Wolski Ninja strikes again!

It kind of looks like, or maybe is….
The black unicorn of death, sucking all that is good and pretty into it’s unholy corn-chute. “Oh no Pepsi Center! You’re next!”
"We put our faith in Blast Hardcheese!"
Or it’s just the opposite. It’s turned black because it’s releasing all that is pretty and good onto the Pepsi Center.

Compared to Pinchy’s, these are WAY too tame, let’s get creative people.

I spent all of 10 minutes on them. Still waking up. My gdt pics are always way more tame than Pinchy’s. Just my style and it works for me. Especially since my last two gdt pics were the pics for games that we won by at least a 4 goal margin.

Fair enough. I’ve just been used to laughing hysterically to every pic people have been posting. My buddy in the computer lab saw the ROB Purse pic and laughed.

It’s not a slam on you; it’s more a statement about Pinchy’s personality. Your stuff is fine and it is far more than I ever do (which is nothing).
2010-2011 Colorado Avalanche: Defying Corsi
I’ve got a similar personality (I think his last one was the only pic I didn’t find hilarious, but that’s mostly due to my over exposure to that sort of content). I just lack the skill to put something similar together.

I don’t understand the point of the whole silly thing.
I know it showcases talent, but if only the people who are already watching the talent watch the AS game then who is it really benefiting. Plus, it’s in Carolina where I don’t think you are going to get much of a fan conversion rate.
Just my thoughts.
"We put our faith in Blast Hardcheese!"
I watch cuz I like to see the personalities of the players come out. That and the AS Skills competition is pretty sweet.

Guidance needed:
Since I am at work, should I….
A. Try to catch as much of the game on the radio as I can sometimes ignoring my duties to involve myself in the GDT (It’s not like I’m a prison guard).
B. Turn off and tune out so that I can catch the last two periods of the game on the Altitude replay tonight and actually “watch” part of a hockey game of which I do not know the outcome.

I would GDT and radio it up, maybe try to find a video stream

Don’t you think promoting alcohol consumption is irresponsible? I mean, forgive me for getting preachy…
But it’s the most abused drug in the world. I’m fine with it being legal, and I enjoy quite a few beers myself (hell, I brew beer in the basement). But do we need it in our face all the time? Do we have to make it look so cool? You know…for kids.
