Quarterfinals Game 3 Preview: Sharks at Avalanche

Playoff hockey returns to Denver! The Avalanche look to bounce back tonight - taking full advantage of a raucous Pepsi center - as the Avs and Sharks square off in game 3 of their quarterfinal series.
So far we've witnessed two very different style of games in this series. Game 1 was a tight, defensive battle that saw both teams benefit from advantageous bounces. Game 2 was an up and down, run and gun, high scoring affair that saw a combined 11 goals (6 in the 2nd period alone) on 74 shots - sadly the Avs only added 22 to that shot total.
So which style of game play will we see tonight? I think it will be more like game 1 than game 2, but honestly I don't care so long as the Avs continue to move their feet and push the tempo, frustrating the brutes in teal. (PS - If you're lucky enough to be headed to the game: it's OK to BOO Rob Blake. It's the playoffs, and besides, he's worked really hard to earn it).
Bright spots for the Avalanche bullet point style:
- T.J. Galiardi. I don't know if you can create a playoff legacy after only two games, but this kid is a warrior beast of a man. I can't believe the hits he's taking and he just keeps on coming back for more. (side note - screw the Avs non-marketing plan, if you want to sell tickets and merch, just get players to play like beard of blood warrior TJ Galiardi. By Sunday night, there should be a lot of #39 jerseys in the Can). If you still don't believe, watch this Interview. Vive le Galiardicus!
- Craig Anderson: yes, he allowed 6 goals on Friday, but that was on 52 shots, and he can't really be faulted for any of them. He was spectacular in game 1.
- The Avs top lines. Many (myself included) thought the Avs may have trouble against the Sharks top line, but it's the other way around. The ghost line of Thornton-Marleau-Heatley are a combined -4, only have 4 points in the series, and 0 goals. Whereas SoS-Stewie-Galiardi have a combined +1, 7 points, and 3 goals. As of Saturday morning, Chris Stewart lead the NHL in playoff goals with 3.
- Health: despite the plethora of cheap shots, non-calls, and dirty play, the Avs have only lost one player: Kevin Porter, injured on a boarding non-call in game 2 and he will miss at least game 3 per Sacco. It could be A LOT worse, but luckily Dutchy survived a nasty knee-to-knee, and Galiardi seems to be indestructible. If you want to be picky, you could say that the Avs' loss of Mueller was pre-playoffs, but it was still reckless and it was still Rob Blake. Mr. Blake, Bobby, you have effectively tarnished your legacy with the Avalanche - at least here at MHH anyways.
Things that look to improve in game 3:
- Clearing the puck. In game 2 the Avs seemed to channel the 08-09 non-puck clearing Avalanche squad. For a second on Friday night I thought I saw Clark out there. The D has to be better in front of Andy and limit the Sharks chances. The team to outshoot the other team has won both games.
- Officiating.
- The Sharks are going to be physical, that being the case, Hendricks, McLeod, and Tucker all need to ratchet up the physical play. I'm specifically calling out McLeod. If you're not chipping in offensively Highlander, you need to lay some fools out and protect our skill players. You don't have to fight (protect the eye injury), but you can still hit. McLeod has been invisible thus far (0 points, 0 PIMs, 1 shot) and I'd like it very much if he kindly reminded the Sharks that "there can be only one".
- Officiating.
- Smarter play/Fewer penalties. The Sharks are the team with the pressure, let them drown in it (yes I'm fully aware that Sharks can't drown, but they do choke).
- Arby's roast beef sales. If you don't get this one, don't fret, you're better off not knowing.

Any news on the good Doctor?
So what are the chances for an Avalanche vs. Sabres finals, eh?
I am the 1st and probably only official member of the David "Dr." Jones fanclub. Until I get the newsletter out, anyway.
Donte Whitner sez: Camp Jauron is over!
Sacco ruled him out when Porter’s injury was first brought up. Sucks, but we’ll most likely see Svatos or Durno (I doubt Stoa, but he’s also been on the healthy scratch card lately).
They say the Avs look like smurfs when they wear these jerseys... I just don't see it.
Bring on the playoff beard!

Why not Durno? I’d trust him much more than Stoa. I’m pretty sure scoring’s not our problem.
You can throw Yelle up on the wing with the 3rd line and have Durno or Hendricks play center on the 4th.
by Dan Winkler on Apr 18, 2010 10:30 AM MDT up reply actions
I don’t think he wants Yelle on a wing and I don’t think Sacco has been that fond of the play of Durno lately
I think it’ll be Svatos (just a hunch)

I don’t want Durno in because he takes stupid penalties and we cannot afford that.
by xskatebakerrx on Apr 18, 2010 10:43 AM MDT up reply actions
I agree Durno takes stupid penalties, but his size would be beneficial. And he was been quite disciplined the last six or so games he played in. Plus he’s awesome with the dirty goals in scrums around the net. Given how useless Svats has been, I’m not convinced it will be him.
I actually wouldn’t be surprised to see Stoa.

Stoa. He finished the season strong for the Avs and Lake Erie. Plus, he’s a big kid, and after game 2’s rough stuff, I imagine it would be him. A month ago I would have said Durno, but he takes too many offensive zone penalties for my liking. Either one would be preferred over Svats though….
by Brett Shumway on Apr 18, 2010 11:04 AM MDT up reply actions
Wouldn’t mind Stoa for his size, but I agree it will most likely be Svatos.

Let’s hope that the home cooking will do the team some good and they can be up 3-1 before they return to the South Bay.
There are two ways of being happy: We must either diminish our wants or augment our means - either may do - the result is the same and it is for each man to decide for himself and to do that which happens to be easier.

AND BOOOOOOO!
I remember when Blake was with the AVS at got booed at his old rink for selling out. He didn’t handle it very well, I thought. He is afterall, a gentleman, unaccustomed to anything other than the utmost courtesy between him, his victims, and their fans.
this gives me a sad face

Yep
Tickets still available in all sections except the really cheap nosebleeds, including on the glass in the home end.
Still, at $225 a pop, it’s perhaps understandable if people can’t afford it.

McLeod could definitely stand to get nasty tonight. I would love to see him and Tucker just going batshit all over the ice.

11 hits for McLeod. Tops on the Avs and 4th overall. Scott Nicol has 13 and Doan and Grier each have 15

Sharks fan here (not trolling, dont worry)
how good is the battle between foote and clowe? 2 guys who are beast-men, fun one to watch.
duchene scares me, the kid is nasty good, i wish a few of our guys (cough-marleau-cough) would take a page out of his book. who knows if blake intentionally meant to go at his knee, or if was just a sloppy hip check- but i epect more of that edge tonight as our guys push your guys around.
i am a little surprised by the lack of presence by the tucker/mcleod contingent- both are very capable agitators, and i expected a lot more so far. maybe being back in the confines of the can will help them to step it up. not that it will help, i think the sharks can roll 4 lines of legit brutes, but the avs need something, right?
sorry to say, but im pretty sure thornton-heatley-marleau (HTML in FTF-anese) is going to wk up tonight. at least our prophet mr plank predicted as much.
good luck (you’ll need it, and so far it has done you well… how long can it last?)

Not trolling, not worrying
but lol @ your “luck can only take you so far” bit. Ask Calgary fans about this belief that we’re an insanely lucky team getting all the breaks blahblahblah. They started like a week into the season and I’m pretty sure they’re still cuddling their Corsi = Playoffs campaign buttons at night while wondering where the hell they went wrong (again). But hey, tonight will be fun. In my eyes, this series is already a success. The rest is just about enjoying the ride.

ya, a bit cliche
and i do firmly believe luck is a product of time place and manner, and the avs have done a lot to consistently put themselves in good positions with dogged determination. the contrast between the sharks and avs in game one was strongest in terms of creation of luck, and could be the edge in the series, if the sharks dont push to match the avs time place and manner.
and it seems all of the series this season are very watchable, great to be a hockey fan right now!!!

Cough.
The unlucky are nothing more than a frame of reference for the lucky, Mister Fisher. You are unlucky, so I may know that I am not. Unfortunately the lucky never realize they are lucky until it’s too late. Take yourself for instance; yesterday you were better off than you are today but it took today for you to realize it. But today has arrived, and it’s too late… You see? People are never happy with what they have. They want what they had. Or what others have…I’m a bad man who doesn’t waste time wondering what could’ve been when I am what could’ve been and what could not have been.

You know what I love most about this year? We’ve watched the future of the Avs grow up right in front of our eyes. Look at this video from a Galiardi interview from just back in January and compare it to the one Paul posted above. He still has his personality and his affability but you can see how much he’s matured not just as a person but as a hockey player. His demeanor changed when he started talking about Boyle and his on-ice responses to Gali’s play, what he can expect from Gali.
Here’s a set from Duchene. Post game after Friday’s loss. Pre game before opening night. Dutchy always had that maturity and interview skill down, but you can still see that depth of experience that is grounding him now.
No matter what happens from here on out, these playoffs have given these kids something so valuable that we won’t be able to call them kids anymore. I don’t even think we’ll be able to use the Young Guns label next season. They will be scary good and I think all the GMs across the Western conference are keeping an eye on this series right now (or ate least have their scouts doing it) to figure out what kind of offseason shit they might have to do to compete with the Avs next year. We’re on the cusp of another solid ten years of a powerhouse with this group. And GODDAMN it feels good!

"I’m going to play hard every time I’m out on the ice. If they don’t like it, it’s too bad," Galiardi said. "If Boyle thinks he can’t be hit, then it’s too bad."
Galiardi has been on the receiving end, too. He was clobbered hard by Blake in overtime, Galiardi’s helmet flying off as he fell to the ice.
"Didn’t even hurt at all," Galiardi said. "Probably looked worse than it was."

but you’re right. he is playing tonight. and i hope wilson slams him into the boards the way he did elias (which was a clean hit according to elias himself) and that stewart beats the living shit out of him which he can because he’s a big bad beast who can skate, score and fight with the best of them. triple threat that apparently you all at FtF are so afraid of you also advocate that Blake “spear” him.

in this day and age of hockey, enforcers are not allowed. putting a target on someone’s back will get the suspension. the second hit always gets caught. the only retribution that can happen is a fight or a hit. it’s not nearly equitable. so that reasoning doesn’t fly with me. bring back the enforcers, let them put the Sherriff on the ice tonight, and I’m all for it.

thanks for the continued hyperbole
“stuff like that” means dirty plays in general, not that one cowardly play.
and i agree, it is a cowardly play, as it is often from behind on a defenseless player.
but to some extent, there is no truly cowardly play, right? as long as there is more hockey to play, boyle still has to face every guy on the avs after the slewfoot.

If he wasn’t a fucking pussy he wouldn’t pull moves like that. It not personal. Its what he has defined himself as by his actions. I didn’t do that, you didn’t, even Semin didn’t.
Dan Boyle chose that cowardly action. It was not even a one time occurrence. His actions are fucking pussy actions therefor he is a fucking pussy. Simple boolean logic.

How you are arguing that dirty players are not an embarrassment to the sport is just mind bottling. Playing without integrity or respect is despicable and is detrimental to the sport.
This conversation is going NOWHERE because you are never going to convince us that it is ok. Cheap players need to make cheap shots to get anything done, and that is what Boyle does. If you’re cool with cheating to win then just admit it but don’t try and act like what he does is ok in any way, shape, or form.

nothing like a bottled mind
if your not cheatin your not tryin.
seriously though, not trying to convince you a slew-foot is a decent, un-cowardly play. just saying it doesnt erase the body of work that dan boyle has accrued. the guy is a serious playmaker, a game-changer, a beast. who made a cowardly decision, because he has a nasty edge.
thats my point, and im sticking to it.

Nasty edge = license to cowardly fouls?
I think you logic processor is broken.
You also keep acting like we are saying he isn’t a very good hockey player. We aren’t. His dangerous antics however, are not welcome.
You are probably thinking to yourself right now, “These fans are just blinded by their Avalanche bias.”
Don’t. I have called out Avs players in the past for fucking pussy moves also. I have also said that hits on Avs were clean if they were. Boyle acting like a tool is simply fact.

love dan boyle, and his tenacity is something i wish was more contagious on this team i love. i think his tenacity gets the best of him, and he makes bad choices, cowardly, cheap moves like a slew-foot are just wrong. but the impetus, the driving force, is the competitive edge that makes a player like dan boyle great. he is a flawed character, like we all are.

but as much as separation has made me love my broncos more, (mostly because i really really really really really hate the 49ers and the faders) i grew up going to sharks games, watching sharks games on tv, and ultimtely becoming a (yuck, i know) california sports team fan.
this is an exciting series, and the back-and-forth is all in fun.

As a former professional athlete I find this comment disgusting and a slap in the face to those who play with integrity. I am personally offend by this. I guess since I never cheated, I was not trying hard enough.
I personally find this to be a major problem with people these days. Having no ethics or morals is being justified by the idea that “everyone is doing it so it’s OK”. Being in the majority does not make it right. Cheating is wrong no matter what the situation or level.

Gotta tell you all, I think it’s a mistake. A big one. The guy looks slow in regular-season games, I can only imagine how the pace of the post-season is going to astound him. I know he played his best hockey in the last couple of games in the regular season (7 shots in one of them, I think), but I don’t think he’s versatile, I don’t think he’s tough, I don’t think he’s good enough defensively, and he doesn’t have the overall experience that Durno does.
I’ll be thrilled to eat these words if I’m wrong, but I think it’s the wrong move.

Not down with the whiteout. Other teams have run that to the ground by now. Having said that, I am very down with efforts to get the fans amped up – just not the white, m’kay?

Here's an Odd Discussion
Learning about wine just gives you new ways to talk about it. There’s no amount of research that can change the way it tastes – none whatsoever. It’s like saying that you could give me a book about how cool the Red Wings are, and I would suddenly become a fan.
Sandwich puncher since 4/16/2010
agreed
you have to go out wine tasting to appreciate them. reading up on wines did nothing for me. going out to tastings did everything. tho living in CA i had tons of opportunities to go to wineries and learn in person so maybe that’s why i didn’t read up on it in books or online.

oh, man, if you think kenwood is good, you have lots more yumminess to experience that will make you think, “wow, i can’t believe i thought that was good!” Central Coast of CA have some amazing wineries. One of my favorites is Baileyana. Most of their wines are in the $30 range. Edna Valley Vineyards has wines in the same price range as the Kenwoods but are infinitely smoother. I could go on and on about wines, so if you want to chat about it, we can start a fan post. I know others liked my sangria post so i dont think folks would mind. lol.

as a college kid… i can’t afford $30 bottles of wine. So, Kenwood, for me, is a nice bottle. It’s better than a $2 bottle of Charles Shaw haha. But It’s also hard finding good wine in CO. In Fort Collins there is a nice liquor wherehouse, though. I went to CA for spring break and did some tasting in the Bay Area near San Fran….that was fun Anymore suggestions that are cheaper, that I could possible get in CO?
by toothandnailer777 on Apr 18, 2010 3:05 PM MDT up reply actions
like i said, go for edna valley. same price range as kenwood. can get it on sale for $10-$14. Mirassou is another one that is inexpensive and has a nice flavor to it.

For sure. I guess my point is that in the playoffs the line gets blurred, and it really just depends on who you are rooting for when it comes down to labeling a player dirty that should be out of the league vs. one of the greatest players in the history of the franchise.
Should be a great game tonight. Can’t wait for the puck to finally drop.

Yeah. I knew his music taste is all over the place. I remember seeing that special on altitude when he was playing guitar and it was mostly just country. Maybe he is learning some rock now?

WIN
Read the article Frei put up that talks about Gali. he says.. well Boyle thinks he can’t get hit for some reason….
Double ugh
I was going somewhere else with that …. nevermind. Nothing to see here. Actually, they need to start playing dirty, just like the Sharks did in game 2. As long as they get away with crap like the Sharks did.

For some reason I have a feeling Jumbo is going to be a goddamn beast this year. Sharks are going to be tied 1-1 in the series going on the road for game three in the first round, and five minutes into the second he is just going to take over. ~Plank
