It's Sunday morning, I lost an hour of sleep and I've got 3 8-year-olds running around my house firing noisy space guns at each other. In other words, I'm going to make this brief.
The Avalanche take on the Dallas Stars this afternoon. The Avs are just 3 points ahead of 7th place (Nashville), 4 ahead of 8th (Detroit) and 5 ahead of 9th (Calgary). You know what that means: yet another mus-win game for the heroes in burgundy and blue.
Craig Anderson is making his 60th start of the season. He'll become the 4th goalie in franchise history to hit that mark (following Patrick Roy, David Aebischer and Dan Bouchard). Patrick Roy holds the franchise record with 65 starts, a mark Anderson should pass easily this year. More importantly, he's 6 wins behind Roy's franchise record of 40. It'd be great to have him move one closer today.
Derek "Tex" Bell has the recap today, but it'll be up a little later than normal. (That's what she said)

The comparisons with Roy still sit a little bit uneasy with me. This team is just so different from back then.
We can compare him to Fiset, then he wins every time.
Steve Moore’s last act as a hockey player was beating Matt Cooke’s ass, which makes him a great great person.

Yeah, but his puck handling reminds me a lot of Roy…that’s not a complement.

BURGUNDY ARMY...BLEEDING BURGUNDY UNTIL I DIE!!!
GOD DAMN GET BACK IN THE NET ROY
I shout that more at Avs games now than when he was actually here!
I call it... The Avaslug!
I am the 1st and probably only official member of the David "Dr." Jones fanclub. Until I get the newsletter out, anyway.

Comparing him to Roy in terms of stats is not like comparing them in style. You can’t ignore that Andy is meeting/setting franchise records. I think the one thing that they do have in common, though, is the faith the players have in them. There is a trust in Andy that allows this team to push hard on the offense in the same way the team from back then could do with Roy. Different teams, different styles, different make ups. But having confidence in your goaltender transcends that.

They should have called them the ‘dallas lone stars’ kinda like the ‘toronto maple leaves’

Time to quit screwin around
and dominate some fools.
Gotta start today.
A little rudeness and disrespect can elevate a meaningless interaction to a battle of wills and add drama to an otherwise dull day.

Is anyone else nervous that we’ve spent much of the time the past however many weeks seeded 6th? Meaning Vancouver is 3rd? I REALLY don’t want to face them in the first round. I was looking at the standings yesterday, and lofty goals aside, it looks like the Kings are the reasonable target here. If we can leapfrog them into 5th, we’d most likely face the ‘Yotes (barring a meltdown from them). I like that match up. Otherwise, I’d be okay with slipping to 7th. Give me the ’Hawks over the ’Nucks any day this season. Ugh.

Last night on Coach’s Corner, Don Cherry had something to say about Duchene. Dunno what it was, cuz they ran out of time…he had a lot to say about Cooke and then did a segment on a fallen soldier. (Check it out here.) But Cherry seemed VERY disappointed he couldn’t talk about Dutchy. lol. That rocks. Don loves our boy.
