Let's start with some love for Peter Budaj's mask
While there are plenty of beautifully designed masks amongst NHL goalies, none equals Peter Budaj’s in comedic value. Hockey fans have been appreciating Budaj’s Sexy Flanders mask for years
For those who don't know Serena Williams is being treated for a pulmonary embolosim, which is one blood clot in the lungs compared to emboli which is numerous clots which Tomas Fleischmann suffered from.
Fleischmann suffered from a pulmonary embolism in January and the Avalanche announced he would miss will miss the remainder of the 2010-11 season, which in hockey terms means at least six months.
Other athletes have played while on blood thinners, such as hockey forward Jed Ortmeyer, who has a disorder that forces him to take them daily. But as Dr. Nicholas J. Morrissey told The New York Times in a 2009 article, Ortmeyer, who's currently with the Minnesota Wild’s AHL affiliate, is playing with fire. Getting cut or bruised, let alone suffering a head injury while on blood thinners, is a big no-no.
Seems that Dustin Penner is happy in his new found home
“It was exciting for me to get here and be a part of a playoff drive,” Penner said. “Everybody has welcomed me with open arms. It’s been a great first day of practice - just trying to figure out the system.”
As for the differences of being out of the playoff hunt to now being thrust right in the middle of it: “When you get to the rink there is still some joking around, but when the puck drops it’s down to business as far as when the drills start. It’s a high-intensity practice.”
This one is for Bubs this is a quote attributed to Craig Anderson.
« J'ai l'impression que je joue un peu comme je le faisais l'an passé au Colorado et quand ça va bien, vous voulez jouer.
He says that he feels like he is playing kinda like what he he played in Colorado last year, and when things are good you want to play. Now this was translated to French and then back to English. So I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt...

I’m starting to think Agent Smith was right about Mr. Anderson. Besides, Smith did much more damage to the Matrix than Neo did during the course of the movies.

Today’s Colorado Avalanche Desk Calendar TRIVIA of the day is:
Which member of the 1995-96 Colorado Avalanche was the first German-born player in NHL history to have his name engraved on the Stanley Cup?
Maybe they get harder as the year goes on? Sort of like the NY Times Crossword.

I wanted to make fun of the question. Your answer ruined it, I was waiting for ‘Dany Heatley’ :(
HUNWICK. FINALLY.
That’s a guy I haven’t heard much about lately.
He’s had a big fall-off in productivity this year. He’s on pace for 26-38-64, which would be his worst year since 2003-04 (which was a much, much worse year for him and an even worse one for Dan Snyder).
Mile High Hockey: A lot more fun to watch than the Avalanche.
That's patently ridiculous.
Heatley will never win a Cup.

I would also guess Krupp

Appears the Uwe Krupp is the ONLY German on the cup.
From Wikipedia:
Krupp was only the second German-born player to have a lasting career in the National Hockey League. Krupp was the first, and up until now, still remains the sole player of his nationality to ever win a Stanley Cup.
Datsyuk may have done it first, but he learned it from Peter Forsberg.

Peter Budaj's Mask
Bababouy likes Bood’s mask very much, Elliott’s mask is going to need allot of work over the off season. Bababouy’s favorite mask in the NHL right now is Niemi’s on the Sharks, Bababouy’s no fan of the Sharks, but I find the colors on his mask nautically refreshing?
Hopefully Serna Williams will bring some light to Flashes blood clots and some great scientist will find a cure to this tragic illness.
As for Craig Anderson, he’ll be sulking soon. Ottawa’s like -60 in plus/minus this year and even Bababouy’s original favorite team the Isles are doing better then the Sens.

Bababouy appreciates blogging with his friends on MHH. As for the Greatest Hockey Teams Ever, the Isles filled the bill in Bababouy’s college years, then the Avs did the same when Bababouy and his family moved to Gods country here in Colorado. Bababouy hopes you have a nice day !

Dear Minnesota "wild",
We know how it feels. To see your season slipping away. To feel that no matter what you do you just aren’t good enough. You tried your best and now you’ve reached the very painful “denial” stage of the season, where you say things like “we just have to go on a run” and “if we win the games we are supposed to win…”. But alas, you are just too shitty.
It’s ok to miss the playoffs. Your fans have come to expect it. You are not really disappointing anyone, nor will it be a big surprise. You put your faith in guys like Martin Havlat, Cal Clutterbuck, and Pimp Cane. How would anyone be surprised with your roster? At least you can take comfort in the fact that your GM didn’t make any significant moves at the deadline to “break up the chemistry”. Your team is mediocre when healthy, and it’s ok if you are fine with it.
As a parting note I want to thank you. Your play, while normal to you, reminds me of how good it will feel to watch a healthy Colorado Avalanche team (should that ever happen) in the future. Things didn’t go your way last night. Chicago won to increase their lead on you, The Ducks beat Detroit to pass you in the standings, and you lost to the power house Isles. Don’t worry too much about that last one, 23 other teams have felt the power and fury of a defeat at the hands of the Islanders this year, and some teams have even done it twice.
To sum up, suck it you fawking boring tools.
Sincerely,
Me.
Sack-co. It's time.

Someday, when BRey comes sniffing around and finds one of my stupid posts you’ll regret it. But I guess that’s only if you care what he thinks, which I quite clearly do not.
Sack-co. It's time.
You know what’s funny about BRey? The fact that he…wait did I say funny. Sorry. I meant pathetic. You know what pathetic about BRey? He supports a team whose crowning achievement in history is beating the Avalanche in the 1st round. That’s it.
Oh also, he cares so little about the actually sport and history of hockey that he insults and criticizes one of its greatest players, Forsberg. I hate the Red Wings, but I would pay due to Yzerman and say he was a great player because he was.

I agree, in a similar fashion, I will gladly pay homage to the great “wild” players in history. Those players that have truly stood out and have transcended their team.

Andrew Brunette…maybe
The funny thing about Brunette though is that:
- His best season (points wise) was with the Avs: 83pts in 06-07
- With the Avs he scored 205pts in 3 seasons ( 68.34 points per season) With the Wild 310pts in 6 seasons (51.67 pps)
- He has 43 playoffs games – 19 were with the Avs, 18 with the mild, and 6 with Washington.
- Playoff scoring – Half of his points were with the Avs (8 of 16 G, 9 of 18 assists).
Datsyuk may have done it first, but he learned it from Peter Forsberg.

If Todd Bertuzzi didn’t receive a lifetime ban for what he did, nobody ever will, and the league is not serious about protecting its players.

Tank Watch
1. Edmonton Oilers 0 (18 games remaining)
2. Ottawa Senators +1 (19 games remaining)
3. New York Islanders +7 (17 games remaining)
4. Florida Panthers +9 (19 games remaining)
5. Colorado Avalanche +10 (18 games remaining)
6. New Jersey Devils +10 (19 games remaining)
.
.
Game’s to Watch:
Ottawa @ Atlanta
Montreal @ Florida
Columbus @ Edmonton
Florida is tanking pretty hard now…and the Avalanche are showing signs of life…it’s just a matter of time before we pass the Isles…they are playing good hockey right now and should’ve won both games against the Caps.
We’ve gained maybe 1-2 points on 1st in the past week…Andy’s been doing his damn best though…a top 3 spot is realistic.
Correct me if I’m wrong (and I’m pretty sure I am) but aren’t there 3 more Avs v Oilers games to be played? Just lose all three and they’re only 4 points behind.
HUNWICK. FINALLY.
no you’re right 3 games with the Oilers
March 5th
March 19th
April 10th
also game against the blues april 5th….wouldn’t it be great if by winning that game the Blues put them selves out of the top 10 and us into the top 3
Behind Enemy Lines
Still 1-0 just into the 2nd. Andy with 16 saves so far. They are going to have to start pulling him if they want to tank. He is fucking playing possessed. DAMMIT AVS, I WANT TO KNOW WTF HAPPENED HERE!!!!!!!!

"I’m predicting 50pts in the NHL for Hensick next season. Anyone want to put $20 on it?" - DetAvs, Jun 18, 2010 3:45 AM EDT
It wasn’t like Sacco benched him. He did start Budaj more, but Andy wasn’t exactly playing great, he’s recovering from injury…I don’t think Sacco handled it especially poorly at all. Maybe he could have done better, but seriously, just watch Andy to see what he looks like when he’s trying, and contrast that to Andy from here after he turned down that extension.
I really think it comes back to that. He wanted more moneys, the Avs probably said he had to show more for that kind of money (or a flat no, 3.75m is a damn fine offer), he got pissed, and instead of going out and making the Avs sign him for more, he mailed it in, and got traded. He won’t get that money though, I’m pretty sure.
