Blackhawks vs Avalanche Preview

The Avalanche return to the friendly confines of the Pepsi Center tonight to face Joel Quenneville and the Chicago Blackhawks. The Avs are trying to do something they haven't done enough of going back to the final days of the tank run: win at home. The burgundy boys are 2-12-1 in their last 15 home games, with the "2" coming against Columbus and Edmonton.
Of course, it's a brand new year. Even though it kind of looks like we've been down this road before. The Avs started 10-1-2 two years ago (thanks in part to 4 straight road wins against teams like Boston, Montreal and Toronto). It wasn't quite as hot a start last year, but the team was still 12-7-1 on November 20th. The next game, Craig Anderson tweaked his groin again and two games after that, Chris Stewart broke his hand on Kyle Brodziak's head. Wheels, bus, season, over.
I guess what I'm saying is that I'm definitely enjoying the play of the Avalanche to the start of this season...but I also am aware that a LOT can happen, like a rash of injuries...or trading half of the roster...or having a goalie lose his mojo...or, perhaps, all of the above.
It amazes me all the "pundits" who are marveling at the Avs strong play. Pierre Maguire was astonished the other night in Toronto, certain that he'd never seen the Avalanche move the puck up the ice like they were doing against Tyler Bozak and company. Which is great, except that we have. The Avs uptempo offense has been there at the start of every season since Joe Sacco replaced Tony Granato and his non-uptempo uptempo offense. Pinching defensemen, speed in the neutral zone, long passes out of the zone...nothing all that new. Unfortunately, we've seen teams adjust to this, clogging up the zone and/or using quick counter attacks to get behind our aggressive d-men.
In the past two years, the story has been the same: fast start, shit happens, scoring drops, goals against rise and the Avs start to fade after Christmas. Hopefully, the ending will be a little happier this year (although the lack of organizational depth at some key positions has me a little worried).
And so concludes the most depressing preview written about a 5-1 team in the history of the world. I hope you enjoyed it. Go Avs!

That’s a tiny bit drastic. Start with painkillers.

love the fact that our 3rd line starts the game. GREAT way to get some energy early.

Blackhawks look good, so far. Addition of Andrew Brunette, Frolik, Jamal Mayers and Dan Carcillo has them back to their Cup winning strength. This should be a great back to back. Tough test for the Avs. Varly! Varly! Varly!
...holy freaking f*ck, snakes!
Frolik and Bolland have looked great on a line together. Brunette has looked like a nice addition for them so far. This will definitely be a tough match for the Avs.

I still love Andrew Brunette, and still wish the Avs had a guy like him. He’s not fast, and he’s not flashy, but he is always around the net and the puck
Aebischer. Nope. Salo? Ha! Sauve? Nah. Theodore. Meh. Kolesnik? Hey bud, nice shootout against the Devils, but no. Budaj? You kidding? Anderson, close, but no cigar. Elliott? GET THE TANK!!! Varlamov and Giguere? To the playoffs...AND BEYOND!!

I think with the head-shot watch going strong we’ll see more classic hip checks. It just makes sense. The only guys you can hip-check in the head play for Montreal, and Tampa (hey Marty), so it’s the safest way to wipe someone out in the Western Conference.

You can already see it in the Avs. Watch Wilson. Most of his big checks are hip checks. Same with Quincey.

He got run over, but he got right back up. He also managed to separate the puck from the player (or slowed him up enough for someone else to take it), so overall it worked as intended.

Hip checks are the way to go anyway. Larger “weapon” to use against opponents, safer for the checker, and less prone to cause concussions in the checkee.

Not sure why but I have a totally different recollection of Brunette. He’s been great on the Wild and Blackhawks, but he just seemed like a different player when he was in Colorado…. the word that comes to mind is slow. His production never seemed to live up to what he’s done elsewhere. Like Selanne and Kariya before him, he always (to me) seemed like a guy who just never fit here. Great player, great team guy, just seems like he’s better off elsewhere, for whatever reason.
He was fine here. He did exactly what he did in Minnesota. No difference
Aebischer. Nope. Salo? Ha! Sauve? Nah. Theodore. Meh. Kolesnik? Hey bud, nice shootout against the Devils, but no. Budaj? You kidding? Anderson, close, but no cigar. Elliott? GET THE TANK!!! Varlamov and Giguere? To the playoffs...AND BEYOND!!
His highest point total EVER was in an Avs uniform. 83 points. 63 and 59 points in his other two years. The 63 is also top 3. Plus he never missed a game in an Avs uniform. I think your recollection is a bit off
Aebischer. Nope. Salo? Ha! Sauve? Nah. Theodore. Meh. Kolesnik? Hey bud, nice shootout against the Devils, but no. Budaj? You kidding? Anderson, close, but no cigar. Elliott? GET THE TANK!!! Varlamov and Giguere? To the playoffs...AND BEYOND!!

Yep, from a production standpoint you’re totally right.
Like I said, not sure why, but when he was here I always felt like he never really fit, he always seemed slow to me…. but I was obviously wrong :)
damn if you’re not right…. his 06-07 pts total of 83 was here in CO… 14 pts higher than any other year
Sometimes I actually look things up. I remembered him having a really good year here…didn’t think it was in the 80 point range though. He usually averages mid 50’s in points
Aebischer. Nope. Salo? Ha! Sauve? Nah. Theodore. Meh. Kolesnik? Hey bud, nice shootout against the Devils, but no. Budaj? You kidding? Anderson, close, but no cigar. Elliott? GET THE TANK!!! Varlamov and Giguere? To the playoffs...AND BEYOND!!

Pierre Maguire was astonished the other night in Toronto
This is because not all reporters do their research on Mile High Hockey, home of the burgundyRainbow.
Really? During the TSN UFA special he was literally pissed off at the Avs and clamoring how stupid Sherman was and how smart McPhee was and how Washinton got away with murder etc etc…everyone was against the trade, but Maguire was the most vocal and angry about this trade like Sherman personally danced on his grave or something…
Paul Stastny did, what Paul Stastny does. Score big goals.
Maguire couldn’t say enough about how awesome the Avs were. It was disgusting.
It's all about the O'
I think everything he says should be taken with a full bowl of salt

I'd like. . .
a more punitive solution to the maguire problem (yes, he’s finally earned the lowercase treatment). Watching him do a 180 and gush about the Avs should have been enjoyable, but it was nauseating because of the source.
I propose a reality show called “Maguire Island” where he, Randy Cross, and any other horrible sportscasters are placed and made to compete for survival.
Each season, the fans vote on a winner who, as a reward, is flown to a hospital, surgically deafened, and returned.

Enough with the pessimissim! This team is hot and has no more chance than any other team of having the wheels come off because of (well, you name it). I am getting tired of the, look at this amazing team, they are incredible, but it probably won’t last because, you know, they hae all the same guys as before and nothing has really changed so things will probably turn out the same. – Just sayin’.

Well in fairness
Despite the strong play I’d be pretty astonished if the Avs finished the season with 136-137 points. So I think it’s safe to say it probably won’t last.

The way I see it:
The cut-off for playoffs is just under 100 points every year. You break 100, you’re pretty much in for sure. The Avs have 10 points. That means that if they win 45 more games (90 pts), they should make it in.

Two things have changed from the last two years and this year
Non-seamless glass and a larger defence. Both should help injuries all around. The defense should help prevent goalie injuries in some capacity and the larger defense should manage to stay healthier themselves.
I am excited to finally see this defense play against a very good offense like Chicago. I am excited to see how they handle Kane/Toews/Sharp/Hossa. They did pretty well against Detroit, but they have gelled more now.

No, but I was actually thinking of the prior year with Ballard doing his Marie Antoinette impression. Or the general fact that the Avs last year let the goalies get run.

This really will be a nice test. Chicago, offensive wise at least, is of the same caliber as Detroit and LA — two teams the Avs haven’t fared well against this year.

We need someone. Kobasew has been better than expected and Lindstrom has been pretty decent and people are excited about them, but 2 things:
In terms of potential and ability, Mueller has them both beat. Easy. Things may not work out with him but if he can play at maximum ability the Avs are a much better team. There’s big questions as to whether he’ll make it there, but yes: we need Mueller if he can make it.
Second: Kobasew and Lindstrom look great, but, broken record wet blanket time, it’s been 9 games… combined in an Avs uniform. There’s a ton of really shitty players scattered throughout the league who have looked like world beaters over the course of 6 & 3 games. I’m not sure I’m ready to say the Avs don’t need another bonafied top-6 forward after 6 games, as impressive as those 6 have been.

I say count him out. Trade for a good winger that will actually play. We will NEVER be able to count on Mueller—no matter what, there will always be that fear that he could get another concussion and be gone for months. He’s unreliable.

The Avs/Hawks game last year (outside of the last one) were extremely entertaining. In fact, the last 2 years, these games have always been exciting high temp games. Don’t see anything changing tonight.
About the preview. Something the Avs uptempo offense, and the hot start seem to have one difference this year. The Avs the last couple years started getting flustered when team clogged the neutral zone. The Avs seem to know how to break that this year with chip and chase. Yes, a coaching change. Hopefully that lasts

Also...
The PK looks better. Landy and McClement pursue and anticipate well.
...holy freaking f*ck, snakes!
Stewie will get his goals, but Shatty’s not hitting or blocking shots, and his defense is still marginal, at best. I liked the trade when we did it, but with Jay’s ability on the PK and good 4th line center, and EJ playing much better, along with one Duncan Seimens, I think we killed that trade.
...holy freaking f*ck, snakes!
I have been unimpressed with Jay. His FO’s are great, but he usually has a rancid turnover at the wrong time and ends up in the back of our net. If he would actually put his stick on the ice around the opponents net he might actually get more scoring chances. I know he is a 4th liner but I hope he start playing a little smarter.
by avalanchejef on Oct 20, 2011 9:24 AM MDT up reply actions
He, Winnick and Landy have been great penalty killers up front. If anything, I think his FO are average, but his game as a fourth liner has been very good. Not sure where you are getting the ‘he usually has a rancid turnover at the wrong time and ends up in the back of our net’ thing…he’s at +/- zero, and been on the ice for two Avs goals, and opponent has scored 2. His time on ice is about 9 min/gm, and over a third of that is on the PK, where he and Winnick are the first line PK. We’ve played six games, and he’s been out there for 2 even strength goals against, and our PK is no. 5 in the league. I think Jay’s been really good, overall.
...holy freaking f*ck, snakes!
He had that bad fall and turnover against Detroit and the Rick Nash turnover was horrible. THis is just my opinion, I have been very unimpressed. I really haven’t seen anything on the PK that made me say wow. He has had trouble clearing the zone in the PK. I think he can be better

I don't understand the purpose of the line, "I don't need to drink

sticks when they've invented the lighter?
I’ve seen at least 3 interviews (Jones after the Toronto game), Sacco on NHL.com, and Hejduk in an AP article today, where the Avs talk about the better goaltending they are getting this year as one of the key reasons for the good start.
I think it was a shrewd move to jettison Budaj and Elliott in the offseason, not only because they were obviously not playing well, but because psychologically it told the young team ‘the collapse last season wasn’t because of you, it was because of those terrible goalies".
This allows the team to mentally (for real) put everything that happened last year behind them and get a fresh start to this season. Smart move.

see, there are exceptions, though, right?
I have some music that I really like that I never would have heard if I were to dismiss entire genres out of hand. I like metal, country, bluegrass, hip hop, “alternative”, reggae, blues, rock, jazz, funk, jambands, folk, classical, latin, soul, and a fair number of other things. Not every artist in every genre of course, and not everyone is going to be like that.
Just like I feel sorry for people who don’t experiment with food and beverage, I also feel sorry for those who deny themselves the joy of all music and continue to listen to whatever it was they liked in high school, or whatever the radio/pop culture tells them to like.
But hey, to each their own. It doesn’t bother me too much when people want to be close minded like that, it’s their loss imo.

I think that’s a pretty healthy attitude to take. My wife listens to country, something I never liiked at all, and while I still don’t really like it, there’s quite a few songs that are poretty decent. (anyone ever tells her I said this I will deny it and find a way to punish you severly)

I refrain from saying best rapper because you can judge anyone whether it be word play, flow, rhyming skills or anything, but best overall rap artist is Kanye.
As a pure artist, he’s miles ahead of anyone else in the rap industry.
Whether that has to do with the fact that he’s a producer and he doesn’t tend to just rap about the usual drugs, money and such lends to it as well, but he’s a much bigger risk taker whereas all those you mentioned play it way too safely (except maybe Andre 3000)

Kanye can rhyme a little bit. That’s about it. Pretty much everybody listed up above where I think this will be is better, at least from what I’ve heard (I’m thinking about getting more into Black Thought actually after hearing his compilation with Mos Def (as Black Dante) and Eminem (who was surprisingly good on that track)). What I don’t get is how you can say he’s not the best rapper but he’s the best rap artist… wouldn’t a significant part of being a “rap artist” be the “rapper” portion of it?

Kanye hasn’t went into the “auto-tune” business. He did it once, after the passing of his mom/breaking up with fiancee and he said it himself it was a pop album.
He came back with MBDTF.
Oh look you named a bunch of underground artists, how fun your one of those people…none of those rappers will ever achieve the success of Kanye because they have no reach. No marketing because they’re boring and too dry. Mos Def is talented (it’s hilarious that you mention Consequence, dudes a bum) but he’ll never be popular because he makes his raps way too complicated unnecessarily. You can easily go the route of Eminem or Andre and make your raps better but still be commercially viable.

I’d argue that 8 out of the 15 I named could be considered mainstream rap. One of them is the head rapper of Jimmy Kimmel’s house band, and another just had a documentary released about is group.
I do like most of what Kanye did before the Autotune album. I’d say that Adiction is probably my favorite song that he has ever done. However I feel that his art has suffered for money.
At least you aren’t swinging from Jay-Z’s jock. Dude can’t write a rhyme that Biggie didn’t come up with first.

Jay-Z is overrated… I guess when he really wants to try, he’s really good with metaphors and double entendres and world play, but he does it so rarely that it’s kinda like, oh okay that’s nice but that isn’t you…

Out of your list, if I presented that to a bunch of people who listened to the radio (not saying that’s a good selection and that’s a whole different argument…) they won’t be able to recognize anyone on that list. Mos Def they will, but that might be because he’s an actor as well. But for the most part those guys would barely qualify as mainstream.
The Roots, Black Thought, (I think what you meant was Jimmy Fallon) are good, nice blend of talent/mainstream though.

I’m not saying he’s not fun, or good at what he does – shiiiiit, I was blasting Graduation so loud yesterday that I got complaints from the neighbors – but he ain’t a patch on the technique of Mighty Mos, Immortal Technique, or Guru (RIP). Its like comparing Shania Twain with Johnny Cash. They are both sorta country, kinda, but not the same.

No…Kanye is hip hop whether you like him or not.
Like I said up there, you can’t name a bunch of underground people and say oh these are better at this part of hip hop than him.
Yeah, at best Kanye is an above average rapper from a technical standpoint…but he’s the best rap ARTIST out there. None of those guys hold a candle to him.
DJ Premiere…great producer…but only one style. There’s countless other examples out there about how he’s just a better overall artist than everyone.

As someone who has gotten banned from an SBN blog, I can tell you that yes, if the mod writes a reason for your banning, it appears quite prominently across the bottom of the screen where comments would normally be. You also get a pop-up window immediately after the banning.
It is not visible to others, however.

Toews, Kane, Hossa, Sharp, Bolland, Duchene, Stastny, Hejduk, Jones, O’Reilly in some combination.
Keith, Seabrook, Hjarlaralarlmson, Johnson, Hejda, Quincey
Crawford, Varly.
I might take thatteam over any other two-team combination. This might be a new game for me.

I’d probably take Leddy over Quincey…just because he has the potential to be a better defender, with the offensive upside. That is an incredible lineup though.

Pens centers (assuming Malkin and Crosby are healthy) plus Caps wingers would be a nice combo. Imagine a team with Crosby, Malkin, Backstrom and Staal as the centers and Ovie and Semin on the Wings. Add in Marcus Johansson, Laich, Knuble (any Pens wingers worth anything?) and that makes a nice group of forwards. But overall the thought of combining the two teams makes me want to throw up. That is like suggesting combining the Avs and Red Wings.

Oh, I forgot about him. I don’t know how considering he scored 2 goals against the Caps last week. I just remember Malkin being crazy dangerous in that game. He assisted on both goals and made me nervous every time he had the puck. Normally Ovie just hits Malkin hard a few times and gets him out of his game but that didn’t happen this time (maybe because it was a charity game for Lokomotiv arranged by both of them).
Strangely enough, that looks almost exactly like my NHL 2k10 team.

Reminds me of the days back when when I used to draft out all the players on xbox to the original six teams. It was fun to do but ended up pissing me off because you couldn’t play out a full season with just those all-star teams or keep the dead things from being a colossal superpower like the others. Come to think of it, if I ever have time to do that again (unlikely), I’ll just kick ’em out of the original six and slip the Avs in their place.

Looking forward to what should be a good game.
Always interesting with the BSH (Brotherhood of Scum – aka Red Wings – Haters) gets together.
Two teams that really rely on their third lines for lots of production. Will be fun to watch. We’ll see how the Toews line does against the Av’s third line. Our “first” line, Brunette – Toews – Sharp, has had some fits and starts so far, because Bruno doesn’t really fit in well on that line. Playing Bruno with two guys who skate as well and play in all three zones as well as Jonathan Toews and Patrick Sharp makes about as much sense as dragging an anchor out the window of a ferrarri. Oh well. The “second” line, Carcillo – Kane – Hossa, has been doing most of the damage scoring and drawing penalties. Though our current goal scoring leader, Dave Bolland, anchors a third line that has been just absolutely buzzing to start the season:
C- Dave Bolland 4GP 5Pts. (4G, 1A), +4
LW – Brian Bickell, 5GP 4Pts (2G, 2A), +1
RW- Michael Frolik 5GP 2Pts (0G, 2A), +2
Ought to be a good one.

Music
I just went through my entire iPod and rated every song from 1-5 stars (based on their little rating system) while listening at work
This was a great idea. I heard a ton of songs that I love that had fallen out of the rotation, and also got to find songs that occupied space on my iPod that I didn’t really like but haven’t deleted (liek the entire White rabbits album other than “Percussion Gun” )
Highly recommend this activity to all.
