Thrashers at Nordiques...I mean, Jets at Avalanche Live Thread

PrintWinnipeg Jets at Colorado Avalanche, Dec 27, 2011 7:00 PM MST
The Winnipeg Jets take on the Colorado Avalanche for just the 5th time ever...mostly because the other Jets moved to Phoenix one year after the Nordiques moved to Colorado. But this is the Atlanta Thrashers franchise, not to be confused with the Atlanta Flames who are now the Calgary Flames. The Jets did play the Rockies a few times after the Scouts moved from Kansas City and before the Rockies moved to New Jersey...I think I need a flow chart to track all of this.

not a fan of tablets, Do you have a smart phone and a laptop? If so, why do you need a tablet? That being said, I like that you want the Asus instead of the iPad
That's nobody's business but the Turks
by ProfessorOak on Dec 27, 2011 6:21 PM MST up reply actions
I have a smart phone. HTC Desire. No laptop. The reasoning for the Prime is that it would not only act as a tablet but also provides everything I want in a laptop (I would get the keyboard dock).

Eh I don’t now but I’d most certainly get one for travel purposes. Also a big plus for me about the Asus is that it plays FLAC. I have a couple dozen albums or so in that and would like to listen to them on the road when I’ve got either my Sennheisers or my Audio Technicas with me.

ah
as long as it works well for you then get it. I’m not a fan of tablets, but that’s because I see no use for them (even though I don’t have a smartphone either) but if you can find a way for them to convenience you, go for it. Everyone deserve to spend money on themselves on their birthday.

I’m a huge android fan. I’ll be moving just before next summer, so I’ll be in the market for another phone then. Pretty excited to see what will be out.
When tablets first came out I was really skeptical at their usefulness. I still view iPad’s as an oversized iPod touch, while the Android seem to be a bit more well executed. I was in the laptop market and 600-700 on a tablet as compared to a laptop makes a little more sense for me.
The reason I'm in town, in case you're wondering, is because of a Kansas City Shuffle.
I really don’t see any use beyond a huge comic book reader and watching movies on a portable screen.
Paul Stastny did, what Paul Stastny does. Score big goals.
Music as well. Which is all a laptop would be for me in reality. Any android phone I have will be rooted so I’ll have wifi capability anywhere I go. It’s just a netbook but with an android OS which really intrigues me. That and sports news and the ability to watch hockey games on it.
The reason I'm in town, in case you're wondering, is because of a Kansas City Shuffle.
See, the only two places I get Wifi… are locations I have computers at. Work and Home… so I really have no use for them besides those two things
Paul Stastny did, what Paul Stastny does. Score big goals.
Well...
being a military individual…tablets/laptops come in handy during non wifi areas too. When I took my vacation to go visit some family this past August…a tablet would have been a godsend during my downtime.
The reason I'm in town, in case you're wondering, is because of a Kansas City Shuffle.
But what were you able to do withit without WiFi?
Paul Stastny did, what Paul Stastny does. Score big goals.
Movies/TV Shows I’ve downloaded, listen to music, read books I’ve put on it. Works perfectly for deployments.
The reason I'm in town, in case you're wondering, is because of a Kansas City Shuffle.
Yeah, that’s what I usually do. Not books though, still feels weird.
Paul Stastny did, what Paul Stastny does. Score big goals.
Check out the chrome netbooks. My guess is that the tablet will migrate to being a touchscreen netbook that will replace most people’s laptops. If not, it might not last long.

As much as I love Chrome and Google..the Chrome netbook is not an option for me. Doesn’t offer enough bang for the buck.
The reason I'm in town, in case you're wondering, is because of a Kansas City Shuffle.
Yes, very early in development. But the potential is there for 2 years from now. Look at Android 2.1 versus Ice Cream Sandwich, things move quick.
"He who fucks nuns will later join the church." -The Clash
I agree. However I’m in the market for a tablet within the next month or two. Not the next year or two so I’ll take the more advanced product at the moment.
The reason I'm in town, in case you're wondering, is because of a Kansas City Shuffle.
I’m also in the market but you seem to have done far more research than I have. If you bought today, what would you purchase?
Agree with that. iPads are useless fad accessories. Give the Android community a while to figure out what tablets are good for and then see what they develop into.
"He who fucks nuns will later join the church." -The Clash
Well Android already has a leg up for me considering they support FLAC.

I got the asus for xmas, loving it so far. The quad core is probably overkill at this point but I have beeb loving the androis os(honeycomb 3.2). Supposedly 4.0 will be released for the asus tabs in january. Ipad looks nice and is “trendy” but it does not offer alot of compatibility ie. rhapsody. And i hate apple products, when you work in an IT environment you will understand why the hate.
by Bourque16w on Dec 27, 2011 6:49 PM MST via mobile up reply actions
Well as proven by the pc community, software will catch up to quad cores and start utilizing them more. I’m fine with that. I don’t care about trendy…Apple just refuses to offer anything I want in a tablet. No HDMI support. No expandable storage. No USB support. Forced to use iTunes (hate that service). The list goes on and on for me. My Apple hate stems not from their refusal to include things I look for in a product but also the way they’re going overboard with the abuse of the patent system and trolling the courts. It gets out of hand.

Amen to that they are complete douches. Had a client that wanted us to integrate their apple servers into our domain, active directory service failed on day 1 and then shares would not work, nightmare to say the least. Btw, in 1997 jobs reached out to bill gates, got a 10 million dollar loan and begged that microsoft make its office product compatible with apples os. Yet years later the bastard attacks microsoft.

I really don’t care as I’ve never felt anything for the Jets… but those logos are ugly… I’d rather they have gone with either of these ones:
Paul Stastny did, what Paul Stastny does. Score big goals.
I like the jersey design, but feel the logo in itself is underwhelming. However as an overall, the jersey is a bit above average. Not a bad execution for a first try. Far better than anything they wore as the Thrashers.

It woulda been blasphemy

RnR? I know they have a lot of TVs. Not many people there, though.
Whiskey tends to make me high, and sad songs make me cry. Pretty women break my heart almost every night. I run on beans and nicotine; I'm a real, live buckaroo. And my heart's not pure, my boots ain't clean, and I never tell the truth.
They opened that right before I moved away so I can’t really say. I’d rather go to Junkyard, but I know it’s not the kind of drive you’d want to do after.

RnR is a fun place. They have shuffleboard.
Trouble is, I moved here just 4 months ago without knowing anyone, and I’m a teacher, so going to the sports lounge in Delta isn’t the best of ideas. Too small of a town.
So basically what I’m saying is, I need to find friends in Junction.

You do. I lived in Montrose for two years and went out more in Junkyard, Telluride and Ridgway than I did there.

But to qualify that, I lived in Telluride for a decade and had a place to stay up there. And had family in GJ. Still, know what you’re going through.

I enjoy it over here. But I lived outside of Ft. Collins all my life, and went to school at CSU, prior to coming here. So the total lack of anything for a single 20-something is definitely an adjustment.

Maaaaaaaaaaaaan
Shane O’Brien’s fucking “look at me play with the puck!” routine is getting ridiculously old. The forwards should probably be more aware that when he’s on the ice at least one of them is going to have to cover for him at some point.
And that was a good no call on Duchene in front of the net. They got their legs tangled up, nothing purposeful.

The part that really pisses me off is that one hand on the stick shit… Forsberg and Crosby can do that… Duchene can do it maybe half the time… but SOB? Are you serious?
Paul Stastny did, what Paul Stastny does. Score big goals.
Honestly
I don’t mind it nearly as much when he does it in transition and gains entry into the zone but when you’re holding the puck in and all 3 of your forwards are entrenched in the zone, you have zero fucking reason not to cycle it or pass it along the blue line or ANYTHING BUT TRYING TO SKATE PAST 3 GUYS ALONG THE BOARDS ASG;KJHAS;DLRKFJA’SK;THG;SKJASD. Poor EJ having to deal with that shit. I bet Quincey is sitting in the box nodding sadly.

uhhh...about 1:00 left in the first or so
Winnik took the pass and Duchene was cutting to the front of the net. On first look it totally looks like he got tripped but when I went back to watch it again it just looks like skates got caught up with each other and not in the “HAWHAW TOTALLY STUCK THAT LEG OUT THERE N GOT U DOOD”

Shane O’Brien is having a helluva night. He deserves one of the three stars of the night because oh my god. He pinches in and goes to a spot where a forward already was, ends up behind the WPG net, then comes out in front to hang out with one of the forwards, the breakaway happens and then he’s just standing around as his man scores without being touched.

Really not even sure whose fault that was….. but O’Brien was caught way behind the play again. You are a defenseman

Let’s go with Elliott for fumbling the fuck out of that puck.

I’ll say it again – we look tired tonight. Little stuff like not picking up our feet or losing track of the puck, not winning battles for the puck and standing around a bit on D…. it’s coming back to bite us. We haven’t been playing too badly, but we’ve not looked as sharp as we have recently.

Stastny – 20pts in 32 games.
Duchene – 24pts in 37 games.
Sorry but those are some attrocious numbers… they both look they’d be lucky to hit 60 if you average
Duchene, if he scores 6points in the next 5 games is on pace to hit 60 points this year. He’s actually on pace to put up numbers similar to his first year… that’s a regression.
I have no idea wtf is going on with Stastny, he looks to be on a pace to hit 50, a huge drop.

Which sucks for O’Brien that they were able to capitalize off his mistakes instead of off the multiple ones from his teammates. It’s not exactly all his fault that they were able to make more out of his mistakes than the other Avs’.

Varly: you're awesome. We love you. Please don't break.
Difference being
All of those guys contributed elsewhere on the ice. Hunwick, Elliott, and EJ all produced scoring chances at some point. O’Byrne never does and Hejda would’ve had a great scoring chance had it not been for the slashing Wheeler dropped on him and he ended up drawing the penalty anyway. O’Brien was bad on offense, bad on defense, and bad mentally. His best decision all night was to drop the gloves and get out of there.

stealing andi’s 10 thoughts:
1. If Avs scored 1st in this game? They win, no question. They had the better of the Jets for a good part of the first. Stastny line in particular
2. Victims of some VERY bad luck tonight. very very bad luck, especially early on
3. Varlamov probably starts the nest game me thinks, riding a good win in minny, good opportunity to let him find a groove
4. Who is this bad Landeskog? Make him go away
5. First night I can remember where O’Reilly hasn’t been fantastic
6. Kane is talented, but I’ll keep Duchene thank you
7. Pavelec is also good
8. After playing with Ken Klee today, i assure you all of our D, O’Brien included are better than him
9. Jets jersey’s still suck
10. Just a bad/unclucky night, tough off of the back to back. I think they said Winnipeg was here at altitude longer than us? At any rate, bad nights happen, be glad it was an eastern conference team, didnt give anything up by losing really.
11. I really think we got screwed on luck this game… especially early

Yep. I personally think that we were just a tinch behind them mentally. We had a lot of really good chances that we just couldn’t get past their goalie, and we made some turnovers we usually don’t that they capitalized on.

So here's what I'm thinking on Stastny
10-game ppg averages after each game of his whole god damn career. (Starting at game 10 of season 1 of course.) It’ll take a good while but thanks to hockey-reference can be done I think. Stuff I’ll be looking for his averages to drop against:
-Losing Sakic, Forsberg
-Switching from wood to composite sticks
-Losing Stewart, just so Peter Stastny doesn’t feel left out
-Sacco
-Each year and each break
Anything else you guys can think of?
