Avs with Holøs in the lineup: 13-24-2 (.358 pt%) 2.67 GF 3.46 GA
Ice Time:
- TTOI 18:03 (10th)
- EV 14:54 (11th)
- PK 1:30 (11th)
- PP 1:38 (7th)
Career Highlights: Recorded his first NHL point on Oct. 28, 2010 against Calgary with an assist on a TJ Galiardi goal. Collected his first career multi-point game with two assists on April 8, 2011, vs. Dallas. On Oct. 16, he became just the 6th Norwegian-born player to ever appear in an NHL game and is currently 1 of only 2 Norwegians in the league.
Report: There are people who would point to Holøs's mistakes and roast him for them. There are others who would hoist him up on their shoulders if given the chance. The thing is that his performance falls somewhere in between. For a 23-year-old who had never played North American hockey before, the kid had a solid rookie year with the typical amount of rookie mistakes one would expect. He wasn't flashy, but he was strong positionally. He couldn't score a goal to save his life, but it wasn't for a lack of trying. In fact, he was down-right robbed on more than one occasion. Holøs won't ever be a top pairing guy, but his performance this past season showed that he can be an NHLer, most likely manning the 3rd pairing. He still needs some development - which he will most likely get in Lake Erie next season - but the future looks promising for him, especially if he can up his physical presence on the ice. The Avalanche are deep in the lower-tiers of blueliners, so he's going to have to take it to the next level if he wants to make the line up as a regular right out of training camp. In his favor, though, is the fact that the coaches really started to trust him as last season wore on, evidenced by his increasing ice time which hit over 23 minutes by the final game.
Fun Fact: Holøs' 6 points was the highest season total ever for a Norwegian defenseman in the NHL, smashing the previous mark of 5 set by Ole-Kristian Tollefson in 2006-2007.
The Slash Drinking Game: Drink whenever an announcer has trouble pronouncing "Holøs." Drunk potential: You'll be hospital-bound before the end of the 2nd period.
What We Said at Midseason: I love Holøs' attitude, and his competence with the puck on the PP early in the season was a breath of fresh air. Maybe Holøs is such a competent, unspectacular player, that he gets snubbed because he doesn't excel at any one aspect of the game, he just does everything well enough - which is still way better than Hunwick. He's got a lot of upside, even if it isn't flashy. It'd be a shame to let that potential go untapped back to Europe.
2010 Cap Hit: $785,000
2011 Status: Under contract through end of next season, RFA at expiry.
Outlook for Next Season: Here's another guy that we seemed to love a lot more than the Avalanche coaching staff (see also Greg Mauldin, David van der Gulik and Cameron Gaunce) while other guys we didn't love as much (Kyle Cumiskey, Matt Hunwick) sat fat and happy higher up on the depth chart. While he improved as the season wore on, he probably is going to bounce around between Lake Erie and Colorado next year. But, keep in mind he's only exempt from waivers for 21 more NHL games.
Next Up: Colby Cohen

Holos was only a minus player with Matt “Disaster on Ice” Hunwick, Adam “I wish it was still 1996” Foote and John-Micheal “I’m pretty awesome and a great team leader, put my role is the PP and I sometimes may sacrifice play in my own end but it’s not really that big of a deal” Liles.
Not bad if you consider the team’s season.

Those are not good nicknames.
Foote was good way after 1996.
A little rudeness and disrespect can elevate a meaningless interaction to a battle of wills and add drama to an otherwise dull day.
But he should have probably retired one season before he did. I love the guy but his crash and bash game caught up to him by last season.

Hospital bound by the 2nd period? Try the end of the pre-game show. Of course, I have heard it pronounced so many ways at this point that I don’t even know what the correct one is
Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?
Well, in a normal pre-game, he doesn’t get much talk. I was going to say by the end of the first, but I know how much the folks around here drink, and I figured that might’ve been an insult to them, insinuating that they can’t hold their liquor.

The reason I like Holøs, aside from the fact that it’s cøøl to have a Norwegian kid make the NHL, is that (via the eye test) he is a much better player than Cumiskey and Hunwick. I have no illusion that he is the next Ray Bourque.
PS- Holøs scored the only goal for LEM in game 7 of their first playoff run. Too bad the rest of the team did not show up that night.

How do you pronounce Holøs?
Because, I gotta tell ya, I’ve still got no clue. I’ve heard it 3-4 different ways, and even though I know who they are talking about, I still don’t know which is right and I’d rather not butcher an Av’s name if I can help it.

And remember my comment about not being able to watch him in games?
He’s invisible to me for whatever reason. Maybe that’s a good thing, but even when I try to watch him, I can’t for some strange reason. So I was looking forward to seeing him in action at least in a picture.
But I’m 99% sure, given the 16 on the arm and the March 22nd date, that I’m looking at Silent Jay up there.

You claim he never got paired with Johnson yet In that picture I see Johnson. Explanation?

by c6hor8 on Jun 7, 2011 8:56 AM MDT via mobile reply actions
there was never a regular pairing with Johnson (as in, playing with Johnson early in the game). doesn’t mean he didn’t play with him at some point (special teams or anytime after shift #3 when Sacco changed things up). I forget who it was they played against when I charted almost every possible permutation of defensive pairings in the game.

No reason to rant. A C+ seems about right for a rookie who only played 39 games, was 7th in total ice time among defensemen, and who had very little affect on the season’s outcome. This is one of the more measured and reasonable assessments of Slash that I’ve seen on here.
Any “rants” came when the comments about Slash graded him as an A-/B+ player, which he clearly wasn’t, at any point during his time with the Avs, and which ripped other, better players in the process.

Hunwick, Wilson, and I believe Cumiskey was still healthy when I was pissing and moaning.
Available for a 3rd round pick.

OT Rant
So, I’m sort of looking at used SUVs, and am somewhat considering the Toyota Highlander hybrid (hey, I live in Boulder, I’d get fined if I didn’t consider a hybrid). So, I occasionally look on craigslist, and today stumbled upon this ad. So, once in a while you find an ad without the vehicle mileage, less often without the price, and once in a blue moon some numbnuts (hello Sami Salo!) forgets the vehicle year.
This ad? How about all three, MIA. Actually, the ad itself really doesn’t say a damn thing about the vehicle, and only includes a stock photo. In fact, it probably gives more information about the sales guy than the vehicle itself. Hey, Keith, I’m glad you enjoy golf, racquetball, most sports and fucking John Deere tractors, but how about actually including a little bit of information on the vehicle you’re trying to sell? This isn’t fucking match.com or eharmony. It’s craigslist, and I’m looking for a fucking SUV.
By the way, Holos was meh minus. My bold prediction is that he’ll be posing in weird photos with Per Ledin somewhere in Europe in a year or two.

Geez Bob. You roll around in a pile of shit and you don’t expect to stink afterwards? What the hell did you expect from Craigslist? Go to edmonds.com, check out used cars, and take it from there.
And you don’t live in Boulder, liar.
The Highlander’s a nice car, but I don’t know about the hybrid version.
Mr. Fuji, the devious ways that you put in my mind will come to use.

Craigslist is a perfectly fine resource if you are looking to buy from a private owner. Of course, I hope to never buy a used car from a dealer again….
Bob, that post was just there to catch people searching for “Toyota Highlander” the dipshit probably doesn’t even have one on his lot.
Your logical buzzkillery is ruining my already shitty jokes.

It’s a good car. We considered it when we bought our new one last September, but it was just a bit outside our price range.

Hey Bob. We’re just about to put our 2003 Sequoia (ultra-low emissions, baby) with only 47k miles up for sale. I’m just about finished cleaning it up. Let me know if you like to see it (I’m in Boulder, too) or want more details.
Thanks much Andy
but the Sequoia is probably a little bit bigger than what we’re looking form (TWSS)

No problem. I doubt we’ll have trouble getting rid of it with the low mileage and all. Just thought I’d throw it out to you first.
I’m sure you won’t. Toyota’s are great vehicles. I still drive a ‘94 pickup and it’s been fantastic.

Thats What She Never Says To You
A little rudeness and disrespect can elevate a meaningless interaction to a battle of wills and add drama to an otherwise dull day.
