PrintHere is a recap of the match-up between the Stars and the Avs.
Rookies Tyson Barrie and Brad Malone scored for Colorado (0-1) in its preseason opener. The Avalanche left most of their veterans in Denver so their top prospects could get extra ice time. The Stars used more veterans, but their lineup also included seven prospects. NHL.com has an article about Erik Johnson Part of a select group that features Brian Lawton, Mike Modano, Rick DiPietro and Patrick Kane as the only other U.S.-born players to be selected first in the draft, Johnson had immediate expectations placed on his shoulders when he entered the League with St. Louis following one season at the University of Minnesota. And, lastly, an unfortunate incident happened in London, Ontario. London hosts a preseason game every year. Last year it was Toronto against Philedelphia, this year it was Philly against Detroit.
"It was a great honor. Me and Pat talk about that -- we were good friends playing at the (U.S. National Team) Development Program together," said Johnson, who was born in Bloomington, Minn. "Expectations can be a little different for a defenseman -- it wasn't really a player who was going to come in and score 100 points like (Sidney) Crosby did his rookie year, so they have to be tempered a little bit being a defenseman.
Next, the JLC crowd watched an unfortunate incident.
While barreling down on Detroit goaltender Jordan Pearce during the shootout’s first round, Flyers forward Wayne Simmonds, who is of African-Canadian descent, crossed a banana on his way to the Red Wings’ net. The Toronto native still managed to pot the goal,, adding to his game-tying tally with less than a minute remaining in the third period.
"Not much (I can say about that), it’s a bad fan, I guess," said Flyer forward Sean Couturier of the banana-thrower. "I mean, we got the goal so that’s what’s important."

The banana trick actually works huh? Who knew ice could get slipperier. Surprised it wasn’t an actual Philly fan. Sounds like something they would do.
Can’t wait to see EJ in the regular season. Sounds like he has a lot to prove to himself

Nah
In this case, the banana acts like a brake, stopping one skate while momentum carries the player forward in an unbalanced way, leading him to fall on the ice. Gotta wonder about the racist undertones to this story though. Was that the point of the thrower? You’d think we’d be past that crap in this day and age.

A little rudeness and disrespect can elevate a meaningless interaction to a battle of wills and add drama to an otherwise dull day.

Don’t give them any ideas….maybe you’ll see the player strap on a jet pack for speed boost.
Datsyuk may have done it first, but he learned it from Peter Forsberg.
Thanks for everything Foppa!

The ice would get REALLY sparkly, and everything would suddenly become the most hilarious thing ever.

Last night at the game, naturally me and my boys were wearing our Avs sweaters, when an idiot started booing. That is to be expected but he came down to my three year old and started to yell at him. I am alright with the booing and the heckeling but yelling at a three year old is ridiculous. I was about to hit the idiot, however my three year old beat me to it. Then the whole section cheered for the three year old. I have always enjoyed games at Dallas but this guy defiantly crossed the line. Just another fan that has “idiot” written all over it.
I will still go back, because I get treated real well for the most part. Heck I got to move up right next to the bench last night. Heck I could smell the Avs.
Probably the only person in the place he thought he could pick on. Backfired for him

It takes a pretty big man to pick on a three year-old.

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.
Maybe he was on his way to a Cowboys game and got lost or something.

Good job on the restraint. If that had been my nephew (don’t have kids) The guy wouldn’t have been able to tart the second sentence.
Our Johnson is bigger and better than LA's Johnson so suck it.
A lot of arenas have text alerting for problems so you can anonymously report things to security and they can come down to the section and watch things. Good thing to know if you every go to another arena and you don’t want to take on a pack of five drunks.
I'll keep this brief.
Yeah, just ask Red about that service!

hahahaha… in his defense, it was probably the best possible time for him to do that
Thanks, Joe... Thanks, Peter.... Thanks, Adam....

It was poorly worded… I meant that what happened, possibly concerning someone using an obnoxious fan texting service, was perfectly acceptable under the circumstances

Oh I know what you meant. I’m just saying that no such alleged events ever occurred.

Am I the only one who doesn’t get the correlation between a banana and racism? Not to be insensitive but I’m not sure I see it…
Paul Stastny did, what Paul Stastny does. Score big goals.
Monkeys eat bananas, and since black people are monkeys according to idiots, they too eat bananas.
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.
For fun racism in action for those that may not have witnessed it, I suggest this rage-inducing video.

It’s a very American deep south thing. One would hope people would have stopped saying/thinking such ignorant, ridiculous things. Alas, “I’ve been around the world and found that only stupid people are breeding,” creating a plethora of people to continue the idiocy.
And it has begun....

wow
i dont think its just the south.

Eerie!
Today is count day at my school and we had to have the kids sign in to class. I hand the clip board to a student, who signed his name and passed it to the next student. One of those two boys wrote “monkey” on the list by another kids name, a black kid. I was fuming.
Datsyuk may have done it first, but he learned it from Peter Forsberg.

I firmly believe that, as teachers, we should be allowed, and in fact encouraged, to beat children.

Freshman in high school. One boy is white the other black….honestly I have a feeling it was the black kid that wrote it due to other comments that were made in class by other students. He was reportedly making similar comments during lunch.

maybe a bit OT, but hey, it's cupcakes
I read some of the comments on this story and they are vastly in favor of the NBA just dying. Personally, I am too, but I thought the NBA was “popular” compared to the NHL. I can’t remember, but were we as cynical when the NHL was locked out? I remember being devastated that there was no hockey.

So in that video of EJ scoring against the Blues does he hold a glove to his ear when skating past their bench? Because that’s really interesting.
