A preview of the Dallas game. It makes me sad that the Avs are the team that is easy to play against.
Back-to-back victories on the heels of a six-game losing streak have renewed the Dallas Stars' playoff hopes.
Consecutive games against the Colorado Avalanche may help them even more.
The Stars must continue to take advantage of an easy final-week schedule Thursday night in the opener a home-and-home set with the stumbling Avalanche.
A preview of the OHL playoff match up of the Whalers and the Attack
Vellucci said keeping Attack forward Joey Hishon in check is a key for his team. Hishon, a 2010 first-round pick of the NHL's Colorado Avalanche, had 87 points (37 goals, 50 assists) in 50 games this season. He has a goal and four assists so far in the playoffs.
"He's one of the best players in the league," Vellucci said. "I think our defence is solid and I love our goaltending, so we just need to dig down and hope to come out on top.
"Owen Sound is the No. 1 seed for a reason."
Another preview for the Avs game tonight
Colorado: D Adam Foote (leg) is doubtful. D Kyle Cumiskey (whiplash), D Cameron Gaunce (broken finger), W Tomas Fleischman (pulmonary embolism), W T.J. Galiardi (forearm),D John-Michael Liles (concussion) and C Paul Stastny (leg) are out.
Guess they didn't get the memo that David Jones and Matt Hunwick are also likely to be out.
Colorado is 4-24-2 with only one regulation victory since Jan. 25. The Avalanche’s offense has dried up during the slide.
Can I just say WOW!
Tyler Bozak became the second player in Toronto Maple Leafs' history to score a goal with his team skating two men short.
Thirty one years after Darryl Sittler's feat, Bozak matched it when he beat Martin Brodeur with Toronto skating 3-on-5
DDC here: Edmonton lost last night, locking up the worst record in the league. St Louis lost in OT to move to 20th overall...and the 11th pick in the draft. The Avs, by the way, can still get as high as 26th overall. With three games left, they are 4 points behind Florida and 6 behind the Islanders and Senators (if they win enough to catch them, they'd have be in front based on tiebreakers). Nah, I was wrong - they can only catch Florida.

The Avs won’t catch anyone in the standings.
By the way, since I want some love in the playoffs, I hope the Avs win one of the next two, so the Hawks can get in…plus I want to cover more games.
Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?
Squeaking out the win last night against the Blues sure helped.

Also, the Denverpost reports that “The Duke” is receptive to a new deal….

Excellent news. I still see at least one more good season left in him. Game after game I am amazed at how someone his age can still be so damn good.

We are guaranteed a top 3 pick
With the new shootout win rule, we lose all the tiebreakers and we lost the season series Florida aswell. One more loss/Florida win clinches the 2nd pick.

Today’s TRIVIA:
Who served as interim captain of the Colorado Avalanche in 1997-98 while captain Joe Sakic missed 18 games with a knee injury suffered during the Winter Olympics?
Hint: He’s not all that popular right now in some MHH circles.
Lefebvre…and I didn’t even have to look up anything (but how to spell his name)
And no, he’s not popular these days
Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?
Don’t worry, there’s always next time. Not everyone can be as much of a winner as Chia.

I always thought that Perry was a bit overrated. He’s making me look like an idiot to myself.
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.
Interesting fact: The Ducks brought in Jarkko Ruutu so that Corey Perry would look like less of a douche in comparison and therefor would have a better chance at the Hart Trophy.
An inevitable consequence of complex chemistry.
Aaaahhhh, the old “Fat friend stands next to the mediocre girl to make her look hot” trick…
If we don't get our sauce, we ain't watching the game!
Yup. Unfortunatley for me that trick always worked in reverse. The hot one made the fat friend look just good enough. Of course, alcoholism helped…..

Interesting story from yesterday…
A crazy woman (who was actually coming to pick up the girl who works with me, lol) came into my work and we had to lock the kids down and she tried to get violent with my boss and he had to take her down. He then called 911, and the cops didn’t come. I kid you not, he held her down for 15 minutes with her screraming her fucking head off, making threats, being bat-shit crazy, and then he let her up and they waited for another 10 minutes (she had calmed down) by her car, since she had her three kids in it, and the cops still didn’t come, so he let her leave. 15 minutes later the cop called and asked if everything was ok and if he still needed to come.
An inevitable consequence of complex chemistry.
That is beyond crap. If she had a gun, she would’ve killed everyone there. Why was the lady crazy anyway?
Farewell Peter.
Wow, that’s crazy!

She has a serious beef with our front counter person who is her cousin. The funny thing about that is, my boss didn’t know. He’s holding her down and the 911 operator, who was on the other line with our front counter person told him they were related.
If she’d have had a weapon….
Get up get, get, get down 911’s a joke in your town.
Bitch was crazy. Bad.

LOL at TJ Oshie crying on the bench during the Blackhawks game.

Be gentle
His face probably still hurt after the repeated knuckle sandwiches ingested the game previous.
If we don't get our sauce, we ain't watching the game!
