Daily Cupcakes: December 14, 2010

 

Ever have one of those days that... is just bad?  Yeah, that's me today. Just finished a really long Math exam, that was AWFUL. Only to come on MHH and realize that I the Daily Cupcakes weren't released.  You know why they weren't released? Because I was studying last night and thought I'd have time in the morning!  HA! Anyway... all that to say... I'm sorry!  Please don't be angry! ;)  So here are some cupcakes, and with the way the Boys played last night, I think they are pretty Darn delicious!  Enjoy!

Star-divide

 

Some well-deserved Matt Duchene love, this time from the NY times:

 

Matt Duchene wore the gleeful grin of a teenager when the Colorado Avalanche selected the 18-year-old with the third overall pick in the 2009 N.H.L. Draft.

 

A Recap from the point of view of the Chicago Blackhawks by the Examiner

 

With the clock winding down, the Blackhawks were on their way to the victory with less than three minutes remaining.

And then the wheels fell off.

 

Well, for once, it's not the Avalanche bus that is missing its' wheels!  I loved the last three minutes... they were stressful, but AWESOME!!!

 

ESPN has a short article about the Avs/ Hawks game

Fight night: John Scott took on another heavyweight in David Koci and, once again, Scott came out on top.

Sigh, yeah, I guess that he did.  This just makes me miss Scott Parker.  He was a threat and just having him on the ice made the teams behave, although he didn't get much ice time either...

 

Another ESPN article, this one a bit more in-depth. Guess what?  Chicago is angry and feel like they deserved the win.


"Devastating, embarrassing, humiliating," Jonathan Toews said. "I don’t know what word you want to use but it’s not going to be a good one. I don’t know what it is. You ask that team over there if they thought they deserved to win tonight. I’m sure they’ll tell you they played far from their best game too.

 

The Arizona Daily Star had a recap, random, right?  It's very teeny, tiny though.

Tomas Fleischmann and Matt Duchene scored one minute apart late in the third period to help the Colorado Avalanche rally for a 7-5 win over the Chicago Blackhawks on Monday night.

 

A story about Chris Stewart and Anthony Stewart:

The Stewart brothers had an interesting pathway to the major leagues.

DEVILS PLACE VETERAN WINGER ROLSTON ON WAIVERS

I would love to have Rolston 5 years ago. I think he still has a lot to offer to a team, but he wouldn’t fit in on this team at all. Not just because he’s old. He can’t keep up with the Young Guns II.

My follow-up for Toewz is “If both teams didn’t play well why are the ’Hawks more entitled for the win, hmmmm? I think somebody puts himself on a pedestal, hmmmm?” In the Church Lady voice, of course.

If we don't get our sauce, we ain't watching the game!

And he would say, “well I didn’t expect the Spanish Inquisition.”

Yeah. I thought that comment was a smidge bitchy. Especially since they had so many lucky bounce goals in their tally, not to mention one that was probably a tipped with a high stick IMO.

From the Tribune article:

combined with a lack of scoring punch from top-tier players,

Okay, I know it wasn’t their “it” guys who were putting up the numbers, but do you really think the Hawks lacked scoring punch? I chuckled at that comment.

BANG! BANG! BANGITY BANG!!

Not to mention we are missing a couple of our own top tier scorers. I hope to God we go into their building tomorrow and shut them up for good.

A thousand times this!

BANG! BANG! BANGITY BANG!!

Me too. I think that will be tough, though. Q is a good coach of a talented team with a lot of pride. Odds are they bounce back pretty strong. I give us 50/50 for the win, but we won’t embarrass them.

Yeah, that’s definitely called burying the lead (if they even mentioned it at all).

Chicago’s defensive performance last night might have been the worst of any team the Avs have faced this year.

Finally, I wanna thank God, because God gave me this Dundie. And I feel God in this Chili's tonight.

by Dan Winkler on Dec 14, 2010 4:43 PM MST up reply actions  

I like how chicago blows one lead and feels they should have won the game, the avs blew 4 leads in that game.

Each of my replies is a work of art, each more brilliant than the last.

OOOOPS!

Sorry. I accidentally clicked that an I am not a “true fan .” I didn’t watch probably 30% of the season that brought us Duchene. I would unclick the link if I could. Sorry. Hope I didn’t screw anything up.

Ok, now I really want to watch this

HBO actually getting real emotion from these guys?

Watching the Toronto/Edmonton game, and whoever did the 2nd intermission commentary were some pretty awesome guys. They were talking about the NHL on ruling hits to the head. They mentioned how Jody Shelley only gets 2 games for a boarding call and then Semin is allowed to crosscheck Liles to the face and doesn’t get squat, and how they’re letting calls go for guys that sell tickets.

Colin Campbell doesn't have the balls to eject Semin.

Also, water is wet, the sky is blue, and women have secrets.

If we don't get our sauce, we ain't watching the game!
