So, is it all gravy now? The Avalanche have surpassed their 2008-2009 point total - the first NHL team this year to do so. We have officially improved on last season. Matt Duchene is every bit as good as we hoped he'd be, and some many of the other Renegades are having bust out seasons. We've found two vital elements that we've been lacking in recent years: a goalie we can trust and a coach we can believe in. We're all good, right?

Its not so easy, though, is it? You set your expectations low, but as soon as you get the taste of blood you want to gorge yourself on the blood of your opponents. I touched on this not too long ago (sending the team into a tailspin), but even though we're currently the most improved team in the league, that goal is forgotten. The playoffs are in our grasp, and the Avalanche need 27 points in the final 24 games to make sure they are there.

Two points tonight would knot them back up with the Vancouver Canucks atop the Northwest Division. Vancouver would still hold the top spot due to tiebreakers, but the Avalanche still want to put on the pressure here.

Mondays have been very good to the Avalanche this year; the Avs are a perfect 7-0 with 3 shutouts (including 1 by Peter Budaj against the Blues back in December). The Blues are 2-4 on the Boomtown Rats' least-favorite day.

The Blues looked really good on Saturday against the Blackhawks, buzzing the net, and shooting everything they possible could. It took a herculean effort by Annti Niemi to hold off the Blues (the one goal he let up was on a 6 on 3 (goalie pulled) at the end of the game).

Hopefully the Avs are up to the task tonight!

OT thought of the morning

Hey, guess what? It’s snowing. Again. 2-4 inches with blizzard-like conditions expected. This former Alabama girl has now seen the most snow/ice in her 30-year life!

This is Oklahoma, not Ohio, right?

Your schools close that frequently?

Wow… the last time I’ve heard of a school close it was -40 Celsius plus windchill. There was also a massive snowstorm (it went to almost my hips) and massive winds.

different in Canada, from what I remember. At least where I was, they didn’t close school but canceled the buses and folks who did go to school just hung out all day. It was basically just a blow off day.

Down here, they cancel school all the time. too often, really.

that being said, this winter has been ridiculously easy in New England. It’s been cold, but not unbearably so and no major snowstorms. almost a bit of a disappointment

They’re really having trouble figuring out the make-up days here. They’ve missed something like 6 days. The OKCPS has taken a new option offered by the state that’ll let them extend the school day by 45 minutes and still end on May 21st. The other local districts are taking away holidays and stuff.

Oh, and here’s something weird I heard on NPR this morning. While we’re getting all this snow, BC isn’t, and the people in Vancouver are having a hard time getting ready for the Olympics. They’re trucking in the stuff, but have still had to cancel practice sessions for skiing and snowboarding.

I don’t miss the ice storms at all. or 120 degree days in the summer.

It’s funny that every one thinks it’s so great being from Vegas. Most of us local don’t gamble or go near the strip if we don’t have to. Sure I like going to a show occasionally, and I got to Frozen Fury, and ECHL Wranglers games all the time. But I hardly ever gamble.

The heat can be tough as well, especially when its 120 and you are on concrete all day. But I’ll take it over humidity any day.
I just have to get up early during the summer and work before it gets hot, and drink lots of water.

Not being from the islands I stick out and can get treated as such. The whole island mentality doesn’t fit me very well, I am big on being on time that doesn’t happen often. You can’t go anywhere easily being 2500 miles from the coast of California. As bad as most of the other states complain about the schools Hawaii is down at the bottom and the state is in disarray trying to fix it. I could go on and on but I am looking forward to transferring in a couple of years.

I was at the game and wondering what was up with him, especially since he wasn’t around for those two late PKs. Then I heard he was out with a “bruised foot” on the way home. So I watched the game on DVR to see when/how it happened. Couldn’t tell, but it looked like he was struggling out there starting at some point in the 2nd period. Played a few shifts in the 3rd and that was it. Anyone else see how he got hurt?

This may have been covered above, but I got distracted by underwear….then I just scrolled to the bottom because I have to study. Anyway, I agree this is a far cry from an easy win tonight. I’m thinking that if they shoot the puck like they did the last game, we will be good to go though. It seems like the team finally figured out last game that good things happen when you send the puck towards the net, even if it’s not the perfect shot opportunity. This is especially important if you’re facing a goalie who’s playing well, because as we saw on Saturday it is often the fluky goals that get in on those nights.

my only concern

is that it seemed like the guys were just out there having fun cuz the Oilers really just played so poorly. Our boys didn’t have to work hard at all for the puck nor look hard for cross ice passes nor for the shooting lanes. That made it easy to get pucks on net no matter when or where. They knew they could beat the other guys to the puck if it went badly. That ain’t gonna happen tonight. What I am afraid will happen is either (1) the Avs try it and get burned and don’t try it again or (2) don’t try it because they’re afraid they’ll get burned.

Question for anybody who would know

Is there a way I can get itunes or amazon to allow me to purchase a CD that has only been released in Canada?

by Mike @ MHH on Feb 8, 2010 5:28 PM MST reply actions  

Amazon shouldn’t be a problem if you order from Amazon.ca? Or maybe change your preferences in iTunes to Canada? If nothing works there are a few Canadians on this board and I’ve heard that we are nice. ;)

I’ve gone to iTunes.ca and when I try to purchase it, they send me back to the US site and I can’t purchase it. I don’t mind getting the hard copy, but it kinda defeats the purpose of digital downloads if I can’t legally purchase music from another country.
