| Calgary Flames |
7 MT / 9 ET / 2 GMT |
Colorado Avalanche |
| 34-26-9 | March 17, 2010 |
40-23-6 |
| 77 pts | Pepsi Center |
86 pts |
| 9th in West |
Denver, CO |
5th in West |
Seventeen.
Seventeen points is what the Avalanche need to essentially guarantee a playoff spot. The Flames can get to a maximum of 103 points this year, so 17 points by the Avs in their final 13 games will punch their playoff card. Every point the Avalanche earn the rest of the way (or not earn, if you've watched them play lately) will lower that number. Every point that Calgary leaves on the table the rest of the way will lower that number. A regulation win tonight will reduce the magic number to 13 points.
A regulation win would also solidify the Avs in that all-important 4th / 5th seed in the Western Conference. A first round match-up against the Coyotes is MUCH more desirable to one against the Sharks, Blackhawks or Canucks. The Avalanche are a point ahead of the Kings, but LA plays two more times (Chicago and the Islanders) between tonight and the Avs' next game on Sunday.
If you are a betting person, but a fiver down on a 3-2 Avalanche win tonight. That's been the outcome of each and every game against Calgary this year. This is probably a good place to mention that the Avalanche are 37-5-3 when they score 3+ goals and 3-18-3 when they score 2 or less. Or that they are 27-3-0 when they allow 2 or less goals and 13-20-6 when they allow more than 2. So, a 3-2 win is right in the Avs' wheelhouse. This is a different Flames team, of course; the Avalanche haven't played the Flames since the big Phaneuf trade. Oh, and this is probably a good place to mention that the Flames have lost a spot in the standings since that trade; they we're in 8th when they made that deal. Ha ha.
Paul's got the recap tonight. Go Avs!

Just for fun…Canucks: 33-13-3 since starting 10-10-0…Flames: 17-20-6 since starting 17-6-3.
I didn’t realize the Nucks had been so good… or the Flames so bad.

I knew i wasn't insane
But Burke does make one salient point, mentioning the fact that the NHL’s limit on post-trade deadline player recalls—a team can make no more than four moves which involve recalling players from the AHL between the deadline and the time which a team’s AHL affiliate is eliminated from the playoffs or playoff contention—doesn’t benefit anyone:
“The four-recall rule is an antiquated and ridiculous provision that has survived only because the NHLPA has taken, in my view, a ridiculous position on it,” Burke said. “Their rationale (for the rule) is they want to trade it for something (in the collective bargaining process), even though they agree it doesn’t work. They want something for it because they have it.” … “(The rule) handcuffs teams,” Burke said. "If you’re fortunate enough or skilled enough as a team to have success, it severely limits what you’re able to do with your roster.
“In the three full years I was in Anaheim, we played 14 playoff rounds, including the farm team and the big club. And it was just ridiculous when we were in the conference final against Edmonton (in 2006). Their farm team was out, ours was still playing. And we had no flexibility as far as using players, while they had 10 guys from their farm team sitting in the press box. The PA’s refusal to change this rule is asinine.”

"Their rationale (for the rule) is they want to trade it for something (in the collective bargaining process), even though they agree it doesn’t work. They want something for it because they have it."
so lets just trade it for the "no-NHLers in the Olympics and get rid of both stupid ideas. "

I like this quote from their pre-game thread:
The Avalanche, after a brief blip coming out of the Olympics, are right back to their normal regime. That is, being out-shot by a million, scoring a pile anyway, and ending the night in front. They beat St. Louis in that fashion last night, winning 5-3 with Peter Budaj in net. It appears that the voodoo that Colorado working has applies to newcomers as well. Peter Mueller was going nowhere in Phoenix, heading towards the “bust” label at warp speed. Two weeks into his Denver residency has turned him completely, with the Minnesotan tallying 4 goals and 7 assists in 7 games, in stark contrast to the 17 points he managed in 54 games with the Coyotes. You’ll also be utterly surprised to note that he’s gone from shooting about 4.5% in the desert to 25% with the ’Lanche. Hmm. Craig Anderson, after taking last night off, will start in the nets. He stoppedapproximately 23 million48 shots in his last outing against the Stars, where Colorado posted another 5-3 win.

I have a proposition for members of MHH
I have an extra ticket to tonight’s game after my friend reneged. I don’t have anyone to use it, so I thought I’d put out a feeler here. I only have one ticket, in section 380, row 10, and you’d have to sit next to me, but it does come with a beer voucher. I’d rather give it to one of the good fans here than sell it for next to nothing, which is what I’ll do if it nobody wants it. Please, no Flames fans.
Do you have any MHH’ers on FB?

“We don’t know what’s going to transfold.” – 104.3
if you can get it 1510 is better, at least they talk hockey sometimes.
Steve Moore’s last act as a hockey player was beating Matt Cooke’s ass, which makes him a great great person.

But late night with Lisa is even more of a train wreck than Julie Browman. On the rare occasions when I can actually get the station.

It's this reason that I hate 1510
When 104.3 had the games, they would often have a postgame show with Hanes (not a favorite on this site for some reason, but I like him) and Clough and they would actually talk hockey and take calls. That late night chick is the worst on 1510.
Here's my impression of 1510 after about 5 PM:
THCHHCHHTHCHCHHHCHTCTHCHHTCHHCHHCHHCHCHTCHTHHCTCCHTCH
That’s what I get in Boulder all day. On the way home (to Louisville) from work I can start barely getting the station once I get to the top of the hill on the way to the Superior exit. They claim they’ve really boosted their signal. Based on my experiences trying to listen to them while driving around, it is still crap.

Ridiculous
The way they cover the Broncos is insane (don’t get me wrong, I’m a diehard Bronco fan), but there are a couple guys that give hockey its due. Overall, I don’t complain. I think the Rockies and in the past the Nuggets get just as overshadowed.
God
I made the mistake of making an innocuous comment on Mile High Report the other day and had some pretentious prick answer me. That’ll teach me.
And the Brady Quinn trade was a big pile of meh.

pretty low risk with a potentially high reward. i don’t mind it.
but that will teach you to post over there!
Oh the move is just fine. I think it’s meh, but it certainly doesn’t hurt.
My comment was more about how this will only make Phil Simms more insufferable (since Chris was released) because he’ll hate the Broncos even more and I basically got:
Well REAL fans don’t care about announcers and can just tune it out and blah blah blah
And all this pretentious garbage. It’s like “You know this was a sarcastic joke right.”

I still get such an unbelievable McD can do no wrong vibe over there that it is almost creepy. Hope that 350 pound 34-year old nose coming off of a major injury works out for them, but I just don’t see how the odds would be good on that.

I’m wearing mine to the Kings game. Not sure what I’m doing for the Ducks. Perhaps Foppa…

I'm out
Enjoy the game everyone. I’m excited for Toskola. I like the sound of a “TOS-KoLA!” elongated mock chant better than “KIPP-RuSOFF!”
