Well, I hope you're happy now.

2009-10 Colorado Avalanche: The wheels are firmly secure thank you!

Advice to Red Wing Fans: If you don't want the reputation of being whiners, then stop whining about EVERYTHING. Your team is allowed to lose games, and when they do, it's not always because of the refs or Gary Bettman, and you seem to continuously claim

heh. sorry – didn’t see that until after.

Hyphens cause writers more trouble than any other form of punctuation, except perhaps commas.

You always say that. Fricken glory hound.

And with the 32nd pick in the 2009 NHL draft, the Red Wings select: Someone other than Ryan O'Reilly. LOL@Detoilet.

To be fair, I think Galiardi, O’Reilly and Yip helped more than Dustin. Imagine how embarrassing it must be to get so soundly outplayed by a bunch of kids, even when you’re on the PP.

Might need to throw in a conditional 3rd rounder, if he signs with the Avs long-term. And some donuts for the little ball of meh.

Like I said in the recap thread, “The Factor” makes it sound like he is from Jersey Shore. It’s terrible

by chopchopchop on Feb 3, 2010 3:06 PM MST up reply actions   0 recs

That was my impression, too. I think it was a sad byproduct from “The Situation.” I doubt too many of Radar’s peers are heavily into American politics. Hate to say it, but I bet more than a few of them watch Jersey Shore.

Dustin,

I would be intrigued as to your take on the immediate career prospects of the following Avalanche players:

Clark
Tucker
Svatos
Salei
Hensick

Please advise ASAP.

To quote myself, "Why are Tucker, Clark, Svatos, Salei and Hensick never in danger of losing their jobs? Laperriere, McKee, Bourque, Orpik and Galiardi are much better in very similar situations.

Can we just go by the “Avalanche Liberation Front”…or ALF? I mean the ALF character eats cats, and the Avs powerplay sacrifices all those innocent kitties. I think it fits.

By the way, I think Bertuzzi is from Melmac (OK, my 80’s TV trivia is about spent)

Does Bertuzzi say “nanu, nanu”? Or “what you talking ’bout Willis”?

Did ALF have a catch-phrase? Maybe we can lock Bertuzzi in a closet like the robot from “Small Wonder” (wow, I watched way too much TV when I was younger)

All I remember ALF saying was “HA” or maybe that was the hairballs in his throat after eating the cats?
