Game 1 Preview: Detroit Red Wings at Colorado Avalanche

_1_-_wings_medium

** Huge thanks to Andi for the beautiful preview graphics! **

 

It begins.

The Colorado Avalanche kick off their 2011-2012 Stanley Cup run tonight in Denver. Along the way, the Avs will no doubt dominate every step of the way, but it is best not to get too cocky. It's important to approach this 82-0 season one game at a time.

The first victim to be trampled by the yeti will be the Detroit Red Wings presented by Amway. The Red Wings that take the ice tonight at the Pepsi Center will be familiar to most. Nicklas Lidstrom sponsored by Energizer continues to lead the team on the blueline, while Pavel Datsyuk and Abel to Yzerman's Henrik Zetterberg will once again be a potent offensive force. And yes, [name redacted] sponsored by Massengil is still drawing a paycheck to coast lazily around the ice.

Once the Bridgestone Tire puck drops onto the Flavor Ice ice on the Pepsi Center floor, we'll get our first real look at the new Monster.com Avalanche defense and our new Icy Hot goalie, Semyon Varlamov. Up front, expectations are high for Absolut Matt Duchene and Colgate Paul Stastny. Duchene is expected to center a line with Milan Hejduk presented by Aflac and Excederin PM, returning from a lost season. Stastny has been skating lately with Dr Shoals Jones and Chuck E Cheese Kobasew. Meanwhile, rookie Gabriel Landeskog presented by the Paramount Pictures movie Thor (own it on DVD today!) will make his Geico NHL debut tonight. And...scene.

Coming back into serious land, tonight is a big night for more than the game. Before the game, the Avalanche will retire the #21 jersey of the great Peter Forsberg. Foppa will be immortalized for his incredible skill and dynamic play, joining Ray Bourque, Patrick Roy and Joe Sakic in the rafters. The team will also honor 3 Avs that were lost this summer - Wade Belak, Ruslan Salei and Karlis Skrastins. The on ice ceremony begins at 5:45 MT (I believe it will be carried by Altitude for those who can't make it). For those who will be attending, there will be a MHH / Avalanche Guild / Burgundy Brigade meet-up at Brooklyn's before the game.

It's good to have hockey back. Go Avs!

Go Avs!

The wings scored 5 on 2011 Vezina Trophy winner Craig Anderson, so clearly this is going to be a tough one.

Gah, it took October 8th long enough to get here. Now let’s drop the puck and get this season underway!

I don’t think I’ll be able to get a pic together before the 5:00 (or so) deadline. A massive architecture project has eaten my life. I might get lucky and finish early enough to put a GDT pic together, but since that never happens, no promises. But good luck to the other ‘croppers and I’ll still be posting a ton of graphics this year. Hopefully none with a tank.

On a side note, “Don’t Stop Believing” just came on. I will take this as a good sign. Fuck the Red Wings.

There is a very good reason for the pigs laying in mud. They don’t have sweat glands. (So, you know, the term “sweating like a pig” when someone is drenched makes no sense.) So they have to lay in mud to cool off. They can’t help themselves.

This reminds me of when Varly was at the Olympics. He and Nabokov were in goal during practice and then Bryzgalov came in late, dressed in his goalie gear. He started playing goalie in front of Varly who was still in goal and annoyed him. I bet Varly gave Bryzgalov’s back one of his death stares although they were probably an effective tandem.

actually I don’t get to join you. I’m going to the Caps home opener tonight. I sit behind the Caps bench so I’ll get to watch Vokoun’s sad back of his bald head (why doesn’t he wear a hat??). But I’ll come home and start watching the game on my newly ordered game center. I’m just a little annoyed that I have to leave for the Caps game before my college football game ends (VT vs Miami).

Technology question for all the damn nerds in the community. My MacBook sound isn’t working. I plugged in some speakers to play sound yesterday, and it didn’t recognize that the speakers were removed, so I don’t have sound coming out of my computer. It does the same thing occasionally when I remove it from an LCD projector, and I just plug it back in and unplug it. I don’t have speakers at home to plug in, though.

I’ve restarted it and everything, but I can’t figure how to make it work. Anyone?
