The Colorado Avalanche host the Florida Panthers tonight, the last time the Avalanche will face an Eastern Conference team this year...until the Stanley Cup Finals, of course. The Panthers have won three in a row since breaking out of a 7-game losing streak. Although they are 12th in their conference, they are just 6 points behind the final playoff spot, so they have plenty of incentive to come out fighting tonight.
Last night, Paul gave you a look at what the Avalanche are looking at the rest of the way. And I have absolutely no desire to rehash what happened with our Not-Ready-For-Prime-Time Players on Tuesday night. Instead, I thought we could look at what happened in the 66th game last season.
Last year, the Avalanche got a surprising 5-1 win over the Chicago Blackhawks. The win snapped a 6-game losing streak - all regulation losses - over which the Avs were outscored 26-10. The relief would be short-lived, however, as the Avs would be shutout by Atlanta in their next game (the 8th out of 12 shutouts on the season) and Colorado would manage just 3 wins over the rest of the season. (Speaking of last year's team, according to our friends at BalticReports.com, the Riga Dinamo are in the playoffs without the services of old friend Tyler Arnason. Arnason has reportedly been demoted to the Dinamo's farm club.)
In that 2009 game, Milan Hejduk scored his 25th goal on the way to a team-leading 27th. In the same game, Chris Stewart scored his 10th goal. On Tuesday, Stewart notched his 25th and Matt Duchene potted his 22nd and 23rd. In game 66 last year, Marek Svatos scored his 14th, and final, goal of the season. He finished 4th on the team in goals. Four Avs have already topped the 14-mark this year, and 2 more are just two behind that pace. On Tuesday, Paul Stastny had an assist to give him 62 points on the season. That point total already tops the 59 put in by Hejduk and Ryan Smyth last year to lead the team.
The 2009-2010 Avalanche have already scored more goals in 66 games than the 2008-2009 Avalanche did all of last season. This year's team needs just 4 PP goals to top last-year's kitten-killing output. The Avs have cut their goals allowed per game by about a half a goal. And, of course, they've already topped last seasons totals in wins and points. Last year, the hapless Avs had an 8-game losing streak, a 6-game losing streak, a 5-game losing streak and 3 4-game losing streaks. The Avs' longest losing streak this year is 3-games.
In other words, the Avalanche have made monumental strides this year. Despite some missteps, they are a team that is substantially better in every facet of the game. While we've seen that they may not quite be ready to hang in there with the upper echelon teams in the league yet, the key word in that phrase is "yet". The Avalanche have improved so quickly and dramatically that I think we're guilty of perhaps taking them for granted at times. This is still a team in the middle of a rebuild. We can get down when the team gets their lumps...just as long as we remember to shower these Young Guns with praise when they are kicking the hell out of our expectations.
I've got the recap tonight. Go Avs!

Hey, I was at that game, the closest I have ever sat at an NHL game. That Blackhawks game was the now infamous Scott Hannan digs ice girls game:

This game also featured things we didn’t see a lot like Wolski in front of the net:

And my saddest moment, the last time I saw Ryan Smyth live in an Avs jersey:

Hey look, it’s Trailor! I believe he had 3 assists in this game. Scary!
"Drugs are bad because if you do drugs you're a hippie and hippies suck." - Eric Cartman
How much time did wolski spend in front of the net while he was here? I thought he played way more in front in that game against phoenix than he did in at least his last 11-15 here, especially on the PP.
I bet he's got more trophies than the pope and Wayne Gretzky combined!

To be fair, on the PP Wolski was put on the point a lot by both Granato and Sacco (can’t remember if Q used him there), It’s hard to go to the front of the net when you’re on the point….

Unfortunately for me...
I only attended the Avs 6-2 loss to the Blackhawks at United last year. The year before that I was there for Toews’ second career goal — an unbelievable deke through half our team and Theodore. That one ended up a loss too.

I was at both of those. The 6-2 one was brutal….1st shot of the game Aebischer was flipping and flooping all over the place. He never recovered.

After the season's over
I’ll reflect on what a great job our boys did and how they crushed all the expectations. But for now, I’m keeping the bar high. I’m not satisfied with the 6th seed, I want the 3rd seed. And I won’t be satisfied with just the first round of the playoffs. This team can go a long way and I want to see them achieve more.
I hope they beat the piss out of the Cats tonight.
Yeah. They need to start playing like they are in jeopardy of losing every thing they have worked so hard for. like the playoffs.

I’m looking forward to seeing Porter play, just for curiosity’s sake. Also, considering Sacco’s policy to sit players who didn’t play well last game, I’m surprised we have a full lineup.
I hope the Avs do a good job of washing the taste out of my mouth after that shitburger they fed me on Tuesday. I haven’t been this disappointed in these kids all season, and I can only hope they feel even worse than I do.

I wish the Avs would send Stoa back to the AHL. They’ve already got enough wingers in the press box, and he isn’t about to improve sitting in there. Especially if Svatos’ inability to finish is contagious.
Did the avs get Eric Messier back? That’s the last time I remember it working. Maybe Klemm.

When I lived in CO, I lived in Green Mountain right next to Dino Ridge. I could hear Bandimere Speedway from my front porch, so I’d cruise over and watch. Never actually went inside tho. lol. Next to it there was also this little dirt track where people would use BMX bikes and dirt bikes and quads That was fun to check out too. Here in Long Beach the Grand Prix runs every year. You can hear the thing miles around. I’ve only gone once. It was enough. lol. The only thing I really enjoyed were the drifters. THAT was cool! There are some high rise condos and apartment buildings that look right over the track…that wouldn’t suck. lol.

I would hope they would. And besides I for one would love to hear what Traylor sounds like when he goes on a drunken, strip-club induced rant.
From 2004:
A published report on a confrontation between coach Brian Sutter and center Tyler Arnason in a Nashville country music bar Sunday night took center ice Friday night at the United Center before a 5-2 loss to the Anaheim Mighty Ducks.
The report, alleging Sutter got in Arnason’s face, pushed him against a wall and tried to goad him into a fight, had the team working in harmony not seen on the ice, at least from a public relations standpoint. At Friday’s pregame skate, the Hawks issued a prepared statement with quotes from both Sutter and Arnason saying the matter was settled.
In January 2003, Arnason and Phil Housley took a beating when they tried to come to the assistance of Theo Fleury after he got into his infamous brawl with bouncers at a strip club in Columbus.
