The Canucks have had highs and lows in their playoff runs in the past.... one involved the Avalanche
April 2001: Canucks return to playoffs for first time in four years. Lose Western Conference quarter-finals in four games to Colorado Avalanche.
I found a tidbit of what Kyle Quincey will be doing this summer. Going to New Zealand.
The games will attract an estimated 25,000 spectators to witness special effects with the tour being lead by Colorado Avalanche defender Kyle Quincey. Kyle has played more than 500 games in the NHL and is considered one of the best in the business.
And the Monsters are out of the playoffs.
Jonas Holos had the only goal for Lake Erie.
Eddie Lack made 32 saves for Manitoba while John Grahame stopped 14 shots for Lake Erie.
Holos opened the scoring at 19:02 of the first period on Lake Erie's 15th shot of the game. Holos fired a wrist shot from long range that Lack couldn't see through a crowd of players.

So in the NHL, I have no Avs and no Hawks to root for.
In the AHL I have no Wolves and no Mosters
Sucky…
Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?
Go Nashville!!!
Especailly given who else is in the West –
Detroit – Fuck them
Vancouver – Fuck them too (Division Rivals with the creepy twins)
San Jose – They beat us last year, and I don’t like Setoguchi at all. So fuck them too.
I don’t really like Nashville too much either, but given the choices….. yay Predators! Let’s go Weber and Rinne!

A Tampa Bay- Nashville final would be great

I really like the Pens, so I’ll disagree with you there because of that, but I don’t mind Tampa Bay. So if they do win, that’s fine. Not the first choice, but ok.
Really, anyone in the East is fine. Even the Caps. Ovi annoys me a bit – throwing his stick at Dutch during the All-Star game was pretty douchey – but as long as they can kick the ass of anyone but Nashville, they’re good by me.

Why was it douchey? He didn’t do it to hurt anybody, it was all in fun, just like a pick-up game was supposed to be.
If we don't get our sauce, we ain't watching the game!
I saw it as unsportsmanlike, which I translate to douchey. It wasn’t a huge offense, especially in an All-Star game, but it did rub me the wrong way and left me with a bad taste in my mouth. If the game is supposed to be a fun pick-up game, why would you do something like that?
Just a Colorado girl in Montana who <3s the Avs.
I think in an exhibition game where players are encouraged to do stuff to have fun is a bit different context than a normal game.
In pickup softball games I have thrown my glove at the ball when it’s obviously by me for fun…I’d never do that in a “real”(or league) softball game.

See I happen to like Cody Mac. Not as much as I like the other Cody Mac that now plays for Buffalo.
October. When?
If he’d step up either one, I’d be a bigger fan. I have love for most of the Avs though. Kinda like one of those “only a face a mother could love” things. If you don the unipron, I might mock you but I’ll still support you.
October. When?
I still support him. I just wish we had the douchey, “get under your skin” and still pot 10 goals McCleod back. Not the crappy penalty, no hockey skills version from this year.
Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?
True, nor as bad as Matt Cooke. There are a few worse, but he’s on the list.
by Inebriated Simian Miscreants on Apr 27, 2011 7:38 AM MDT up reply actions
He could make top 10…don’t think he takes top 5. Bertuzzi, Cooke, Clutterbuck are 3 of the much douchier players I could think of. I’d toss Foster in there from Edmonton just because of the cheap shots I’ve seen him take.
October. When?
Watching the last game between NYR and the Caps. Avery jumped on a guy’s back and started punching him. Avery skated as fast as he could to get behind a ref and linesman. He makes my list easily

Bertuzzi is an interesting question for the list because of quantity vs. quality. He doesn’t have nearly as many cheap shots on his resume as the other guys we are discussing. He does have one of greater significance than all others. I probably wouldn’t put him in my top 10.
by Inebriated Simian Miscreants on Apr 27, 2011 7:49 AM MDT up reply actions
Bertuzzi is a piece of shit and shouldn’t be allowed to play in the NHL. In my opinion, paralyzing a fellow player for life with a cheap ass rabbit punch out weighs any douche comments/actions Avery could make/do.
October. When?
I just think he is in a completely different category than the other players we are discussing. He performed the single most disgusting act I’ve seen in the NHL, but to make my list a player must be a repeat offender.
by Inebriated Simian Miscreants on Apr 27, 2011 8:08 AM MDT up reply actions
Not that I disagree with the sentiment, but Moore wasn’t paralyzed. He’s not able to function at 100%, but paralysis isn’t part of his problems.

I was under the impression that he was paralyzed. My mistake. My sentiments about Bertuzzi still stand though.
October. When?
There was fear that he would be, but the breaks in his neck did not sever the spinal cord. And my sentiments about Bert are mirror images of yours, regardless.

For Bababuoy
May, 1982: Canucks advance to first Stanley Cup final, lose in four games to New York Islanders.
Jonas Holøs- Putting the Ø in defense since 2010!
Quotes by the Sedins post game 7 per Dan Rosen on Twitter:
Daniel – “I don’t think they had any business being in a seventh game.”
Henrik – “They had no business being in the series. We outplayed them badly for five games.”
Considering how atrocious the Canucks first line was, I don’t think either of those two had any place making any of those comments. Crawford probably had a better +/- than those two.
October. When?
If they had no business being in the series they wouldn’t have wiped the Nucks behinds in games 4 and 5. Won game 6, or taken game 7 to OT. More reasons to hate Vancouver anyway
Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?
Exactly. Yet more reasons why I’m angry they won. Kesler, had some really good quotes which I can truly respect:
“We were up 3-0 against an 8th-seed but that wasn’t an 8th-seed team we were playing. They were injured for most of the year.”
“They were the Stanley Cup champions. It took a lot for us to defeat them. They have a lot of character on that team.”
Congrats creepy twins, you come off as giant douche bags while Kesler represents your very lucky team by being a little humble.
October. When?
The quotes by the Sedins irk me really bad. Classless leaders. No respect for them at all. Kesler, he’s earned a bit.
October. When?
Kesler is good and I respect him.
A man who stole my whisky used the defense that no one could resist a bottle of Scotch. I had no choice but to testify on his behalf.
Can the Sedin twins get any creepier? Stay tuned for round 2.

Hockey Prospectus
Has a great examination on the Clutchness of Patrick Roy.
In there they pretty much come to the conclusion I was trying to articulate the other day:
There may be a few NHLers who simply can’t withstand the pressure and are more likely to play poorly when it counts, but the vast majority of talk about netminders as playoff saviors or playoff chokers is probably nothing more than observers being fooled by randomness. In the long run, the best goalies in the regular season are also the best goalies in the playoffs.
(also, Luongo played pretty well last night, for someone who had the other team in his head ;) )

Luongo did play pretty well. Crawford was arguably the better goalie chance for chance.
October. When?
Last night Crawford was the best player on the ice. But Luongo made the stops he had to.
Too bad his rebound control was so bad on that game tying goal or he would have had a shutout

I agree, I was impressed by his performance. He showed that he is not a choker.
Also, Vancouver is going to be swept by Nashville if the Sedins continue to do nothing.

Canada’s lines: Duchene/Nash/Stewart, Zajac/Vermette/Clutterbuck, Spezza/Ladd/Eberle, Tavares/Kane/Skinner.
And Duchene has two first assists, Canada leads 2-0.

hey everyone
just wanted to pop in and say thanks for a great year. A lot of good people here who put in the extra effort in postings and/or commenting (Andiegee with 2500+ comments in just 2 months?!?). I’ll probably pop in from time to time but unfortunately my focus needs to be elsewhere for the next few months before I break for a much needed couple months off. Anyways, thanks for having me around for this past season and hopefully the summer is an interesting one for the Avs.

And what can I say? I <3 the Avs and <3 having a place where I can talk about them LOTS. My facebook friends started getting annoyed, so I came here and have been busily annoying/amusing/providing tanks for everyone here over the past 2 months. Its been fun.
And good luck with whatever else you are doing in your months off. We’ll see you again next season (I hope)!

Apparently, he won't be...
Now it pains me to say this, because I’m a Bruins fan and I have a man-crush on Lucic, but there is no way in hell he should get to play in that game tonight.
At least according to Kypreos: http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/blog/puck_daddy/post/Puck-Headlines-No-ban-for-Lucic-Orpik-calls-Bo?urn=nhl-wp3602
I would have linked the twitter article, but I don’t tweet.

btw, a bit OT
but I think we need some trash talk about the NHL playoff pickem: Uziel and I own you. I’m tied for 158th in the whole league! 100th percentile! :D all 6 series winners picked correctly, 4 with the right number of games.
I need the Bruins and Lightning to win! TG, I’m counting on you to bring the playoff suck!

Yeah, not doing so well. The bolts winning tonight would help.
The only series I missed was the ducks vs. preds. I haven’t picked the # of games right yet however.

I got one series length right and only picked one winner correctly (Phi). Got a bonus points for seeding. A win by Bos would help me out. Can’t wait for round 2 though! Speaking of, Boston and Montreal, less than an hour. Fucking ecstatic for this game.
October. When?
I can get to 92 points for the first round if the Bs and Bolts win. Not too terrible I guess.
