Was not really expecting those numbers (Playoff GP)

So our in-inexperience will win us this series!

NVM

you can take Preissing’s number off the chart

to be fair, i did notice Preissing up there, and there’s no way in hell he’ll contribute (or so i fervently hope)

Even if you omit Preissing’s 42 games – that makes it 714 Sharks to 712 Avs.

Does this mean we don’t get to play the inexperienced card anymore?

I hope they don’t take away our “inexperienced team” discount on ticket prices. Surely we can’t be being charged like we were Stanley Cup champs, can we?

by Dixomatic on Apr 13, 2010 11:11 AM MDT up reply actions

nah

they still kill us in the “points scored in the playoffs” category: 300 vs. 238. Though we’ve scored more against them than they have us! lol, kinda easy to do when Blake’s the only one they’ve got…

This is our team: underrated, filled with amazingly talented kids and veteran leaders, both young and old, who are buying into the vision of a hard working, fast moving, never-say-die game. They are the 2009-2010 Colorado Avalanche.

Didn’t realize how many games Yelle has. Hopefully he can be a factor.

That’s the reason I was so excited to see him back in an Avs jersey this year.

Significant Minutes

I still think we have too many absolutely integral players who have never played a playoff minute. Do we have any knowledge/stats of players who may have played in big-stage games like the World Juniors, Frozen Four, etc. If they have do they get partial credit for playoff experience.

by Rapierwhitt on Apr 13, 2010 12:39 PM MDT reply actions

There was a certain goaltender in 1986 who had never played an NHL playoff minute before …..

Jibbles is an older man so you can trust what he says.

Interesting thought

Duchene I know ignited during the OHL playoffs last year, with 26pts in 21 games. It was the reason he made a run at the #1 spot.

Also did a little digging around Wiki, found these stats:
Duchene
28pts in 26 in 2 OHL playoffs
8pts in 7 in ’08 U-18 Championships, named to the All-Star Team, Gold Medal
10pts in 6 in ’08 U-17 Hockey Challenge, Gold Medal
5pts in 4 in ’08 U-18 Ivan Hlinka Memorial, Gold Medal.

O’Reilly
5pts in 5 in 1 OHL playoffs
6pts in 6 in ’08 U-17 Hockey Challenge, Team Ontario Captain, Gold Medal
5pts in 4 in ’08 U-18 Ivan Hlinka Memorial, Gold Medal
5pts in 6 in ’09 U-18 Championships, Team Canada Captain, 4th

Galiardi
24pts in 16 in 1 WHL playoffs

Wilson
34pts in 45 in 5 OHL playoffs

Can’t find any playoff stats for any NCAA guys.

I know the NHL playoffs are a whole different beast, but their minor league and international experience should help a lot.

Pressure

I’m sure that at the time they were in them, the pressure that they felt was probably comparable to what they feel now. While level of play might be higher, the pressure is probably comparable.

by Rapierwhitt on Apr 13, 2010 3:05 PM MDT up reply actions

both Duchene and O’Reilly say they LOVE playoffs. Looking at the stats, it’s pretty clear they do. I expect them both to blow up. And what about Wilson?? Damn, them some points for a D-man. Holy shit. More than anything, tho, I like the experience they have in those high pressure games. And the fact that both O’Reilly and Duchene won medals multiple times…yup, me likey.

Nice find, Drake.

I wonder if Gentleman Blake will get confused…how many of his minutes were AGAINST San Jose (and even in an Avs uni) afterall?

by Cheryl Bradley on Apr 13, 2010 12:58 PM MDT reply actions

Oh man, funny mental image

Imagine if he comes out wearing an Av jersey circa ’01?

The Avs did have to go through San Jose in 2001….

go anywhere and look at the overall stats between the two teams, for as scary as they are susposed to be there aren’t many guys on that team who had career years. And as critical as I’ve been on stastny I’d rather have him on my team now (between it being the post season and his age) then thornton.

Steve Moore’s last act as a hockey player was beating Matt Cooke’s ass, which makes him a great great person.
