Mueller Not On SJ Trip; Jones Doubtful for Game 2

The Avalanche announced today that Peter Mueller is not on the San Jose trip and will (obviously) be out for games 1 and 2. He has not even resumed skating yet, which means don't look for him on the ice any time soon. David Jones is on the trip, but is listed as doubtful for Game 2. He's already been ruled out for Game 1. His status reminds of assistant coach Steve Konowalchuk who was injured in 2005-06 and was expected out for the year, but returned early to play two games against the Ducks (unfortunately, the Avs still lost the series).
In happier news, Matt Duchene will play tomorrow night (not that that was ever in doubt). He'll center a line with Milan Hejduk and Brandon Yip.
EDIT:
Looks like the Avs have made some call-ups from Lake Erie. Goalie John Grahame has already been added to the roster on the Avs's website. Looks like defensemen Brian Fahey and Kevin Montgomery have also been recalled, but that's not confirmed yet. Not that any of these guys will see the ice...

An even bigger fuck you to Rob Blake.
Jibbles is an older man so you can trust what he says.

But he didn’t mean to hurt Mueller. Bruce Boudreau, when defending yet another reckless hit from Ovechkin, said It’s the endboards’ fault for being so hard. Damn endboards.

So should we propose that the boards be padded down to about a foot off the ice?

I wonder how many other players Gentleman Blake will not mean to hurt in this series.
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.

Hopefully it won’t matter because Wilson won’t “mean to” hurt him in game one. Oh wait, did I type that out loud?
Forever grateful that Joe Sakic isn't a douche bag like Brett Favre.

Unlikely.
Much more plausible is that CGS “inadvertantly and without malice” puts Sir Robert through the glass into the laps of the appalled Sharks faithful whilst ardently pursuing a dump in on the fourth shift of the first game.
The resultant trauma, severing at least three nerves in Mr. Blake’s face, will cause him not only to be on injured reserve until at least January 2011, but will serve to allow him to appear all the more the gentle statesman of the game that he is. The photo opportunities of the Queen declaring Sir Robert a Defender of the Faith and the Realm will, of course, be epic.

Or how about this
in a truly innocent and legal hit (and I really mean that, no sarcasm at all) Wilson flattens Marleau or Heatley or Thornton, I’m not picky, in the same manner he did Elias. The guy is really okay but can’t play the rest of the series on a precautionary measure. It’s all done in the course of a regular play, no mean intent, just good ole hockey.

I believe that I specifically stated that the tragedy to befall Gentleman Rob would be inadvertant and without malice.
That being the case, I’d love to see Mack hit Thornton so hard that he blows the other pupil.

He needs to dump Heatley.
Because fuck Heatley.
A little rudeness and disrespect can elevate a meaningless interaction to a battle of wills and add drama to an otherwise dull day.

Would I???
Resort to calling Heatley “Killer” during and Av-Shark playoff game, especially if I were sitting down near the glass within earshot of him? Sadly, in the heat of the moment, probably yes.

Well said, sir.
Gentleman Blake could not possibly hope for a more eloquent chronicle of the recompense for his refined thuggery than has been provided, herein.
New here…Avs fan since the Quebec days and I’m only 22…so ya thats since childhood lol anyways just to throw in my two cents. Fuck You Rob Blake. Funny how he injured one of our best players who will miss time in a series against his team, how convenient to not only knock out a threat but to not be suspended for a clearly dirty play that the league is cutting down on LAUGH!! But the main thing for the TEAM to remember is injuries happen all year round and that’s why you need people to step up in the playoffs. Washington might not have Backstrom tomorrow night we’ve lost Forsberg before, point is injuries happen, you gotta overcome them. San Jose does not scare me, if we come out to play it’s anyones games, as is every series in the WEST, the east thats a different day a different story!
If only
We had a newsletter to keep us updated on Jones…

gah, Mueller hurt sucks so hard
really, really want some clean payback. screw Blake, I want Wilson to run Heatley.
Seriously.

As much as I’d like to see revenge physically, I’d prefer to not be a dirty team. I am pissed and as a fan I’d love to punch Blake in face but also I’d LOVE to see us take it to them physically and move our legs because they can’t keep up. We have MUCH more team speed and if we keep coming in waves and throwing the body we can wear them down alot quicker then they can wear us down. Take the action to them, starting Wednesday night!
Whoever said, 'It's not whether you win or lose that counts,' probably lost.
And I guess an “FU Rob Blake” headline wasn’t suitable to be promoted to the frontpage?

it was very nice. looking for a tad more substance though. ;)

What if we just have a Gentlemens’ Hockey Duel. Each man has a stick, puck and no protective gear. Skate ten paces, turn and fire.

no way in hell would i want any of our boys in the way of blake’s slapshot with no protective gear at all!
maybe an internet pipe froze and burst
The Kitchi Liberation Front, because the otters have "breached containment"
A Blake-Phaneuf duel would take longer than a Cricket match.
The New Improved Avalanche. Now with Real Coaches!

hahaha you both beat me to it.
I’ll add this: [Blake fires and misses] … by 4 feet causing a bad rebound angle that carries the puck all the freaking way out of the zone.

He couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn on most shots. It’s was maddening.
The Avalanche, clearly, are down with No PP.
It’s Bettman’s fault, he won’t let old man Blake wear his glasses in games.

I know it's childish
But read this isolated bit of the first quote:
“Stewie was just trying to hit me back door. He’s done that a few times this year, but it just went in. . .”
Can’t help but chuckle. Go Avs.
Wait, they play hockey in Idaho?
