I'm a little short on time this AM, and I'd really like to pretend the last game didn't happen, so I'm going to cut right to the chase on this one. Someone needs to ask the Avalanche to show up for this one at the beginning of the game, not somewhere in the 2nd period. The Avs have been outshot 46-21 in opening frame of the last 4 games. More importantly, they've been outscored 4-nil.
Despite Thursday's loss that didn't happen, the Avalanche are still just two points behind the Canucks in the NW Division race, thanks to Vancouver getting pounded 6-3 by the 'Hawks last night. Vancouver is idle tonight, but plays again on Sunday against Nashville. With the Preds just 3 points behind us in the standings, that's a game that's going to hurt us either way (or worse, if its 3-point game). The Avs need a win tonight.
The good news? The Avs have outscored the Blues by a 9-2 margin. The bad news? The Blues are on a 5-game winning streak, including wins against Phoenix and Detroit - two teams that beat us recently. Allegedly.
I think Mike has the recap tonight. If not, it will be me. Go Avs!

Good news is,
if you’re Tyler Arnason years old, it can’t possibly get worse, right? I mean, Trailors Arnasons is the worst.

I am curious to see the line combos tonight, along with the odd man out on defense. Someone ever thought what “johnny hot pocket” would be like on a wing up front? Just a thought…
Go Avs!!
He has played on the wing in one game, I believe due to injury.

HM – if you happened to grab a poster at Monday’s game, and if you happen to have tickets tonight, I’ll meet you at the usual spot at 6:45. I might not be able to check this board between now and then, so I’ll just wing it. Thanks again.

Who's attending the game tonight?
I have no ticket yet, but that’s never stopped me before…
We will fight in the mountains. We will fight in the valleys. We will fight on the ice and in the stands. We will never surrender.
You all might find this of interest

Sigh
Back to studying I guess. I wish I could be satisfied with lower grades… I am sick of always having a textbook open.
BTW
I finished Playing With Fire a couple of days ago. That’s where my quote comes from.
