December 9th, 2007. Milan Hejduk has somewhat of a good game, scoring 3 goals and 3 assists as the Avalanche knock of the St Louis Blues 9-5. The hat trick was the 5th - and most recent - of Hejduk's career and the 6 points are a career high. His linemate, Paul Stastny, had 5 points (2 goals, 3 assists), tying his career best night.
On a grander scale, the win was the 1,000th win for the franchise. My notes here say that it was the 6th fastest to 1000 wins in NHL history, so that must be true.
December 9th, 2008. In his 3rd NHL game, Chris Stewart receives a brilliant shuffle pass from Ian Laperriere (over the head of the Kings' Kyle Quincey) and beats Jason Labarbera on the ensuing breakaway for his first NHL goal. Interesting for Stewie's goal to be a shortie. It's his only shorthanded goal to date - possibly because he has played a total of just 8:36 on the penalty kill over his 153-game NHL career...and average of about 3 seconds per game.
Hey kids, don't forget to follow us on Facebook and Twitter. All of the cool kids are doing it. Our totally meaningless goal is 500 Facebook fans by the end of the year

And Quincey has the same body language in that video that we continue to see today when the other team burns him for a goal. Pathetic.

Think they printed it off and plastered it in his locker?!

That would be something wouldn’t it?
Hey Kyle, these people have something to say to you. They couldn’t say it in person, so we just printed it and think you should read it. Seriously, look at it, and remember it every time you are indecisive on which guy you want to cover (if you want to cover anyone at all)

Can’t remember who to give the immense credit to offhand, but I give one MHH columnist 100% credit for getting Milan Hejduk off the shelf and playing awesome.
The intervention has already resulted in Thing 2’s first point, and I expect the momentum to roll.
"My young son asked me what happens after we die. I told him we get buried under a bunch of dirt and worms eat our bodies. I guess I should have told him the truth - that most of us go to Hell and burn eternally - but I didn't want to upset him."
it was Joe.

Hejduk only has 9 goals and 18 assists in the 21 games since

Sounds like it’s time for Joe to start writing a “this guy is sucking eggs” column at least once per day. Like that is going to happen. LOL.
My fantasy hockey team sucks. But at least I'm not a Red Wing sellout.

Seriously, the guy scores goals in 4 straight games, then takes a game off before scoring again. A real player would not have taken a game off. He is such a bust, the Avs should have never drafted him.
The Avs defense is "air tight"....so tight it's gasping for air and turning purple.
Interesting that CGDS’s first goal came shorty. There’s been a few Avs this year who did the same thing.
Shattencup
yep. Mauldin and Dupuis this year joining, we think, Stewie and Ben Guite as the 4 Avs to do this

Let’s hope that Mauldin and Dupuis combine Stewie’s goddam-ness with Guite’s facial hair. HoF for sure!
Detroit is peopled entirely by slovenly ill-informed troglodytes, excepting of course the few Avalanche fans who are victims of unfortunate circumstance.

Thanks for the info, Gollum.

Dupuis is not the most skilled player on the roster, but if every guy on our team played with the energy he brings to every shift we’d be better placed in the standings.

How things change over 2 years...
Hensick and Arnason had 2 assist each and McLeod had 2 goals en route to 15 on the year.
