PrintAn article about Colorado Avalanche's Peter Mueller.
Peter Mueller was in the spotlight and at long last the glare didn't make his head hurt.
The Colorado Avalanche forward scored twice in a 4-3 overtime win over Florida on Wednesday night, his first goals since returning last week from concussion symptoms that have plagued him for nearly two years.
These days, Mueller wears bigger shoulder pads along with a custom-fitted helmet that loops around his ears to better cushion his head and neck. He also dons a tinted visor that cuts down on the reflection from the arena lights, which at one point really affected him.
Not as much anymore as he's starting to feel like himself again.
I was all prepared to say NHL players should be allowed to choose whether they wear a helmet during warmups.
They’re grown ups, so they should have some freedoms at the rink, even if going without such an important piece of protection seems foolish just so the fans can see their faces.
But one peek at the picture of Edmonton Oilers forward Taylor Hall after he was injured during the warmup in anticipation of his team’s game Tuesday against the Columbus Blue Jackets changed that immediately.

Nope. He had some Elliott to lean against last year, and now that he’s on his own he’s still making adjustments. If he’s being scratched regularly next year… well, lets say I might worry about it then. A little.
Thanks, Joe... Thanks, Peter.... Thanks, Adam....
If drafting would be 100% accurate, all teams would be built with 1st and 2nd rounders. You know, Hugh Jessiman.
Siemens is a kid. I have one his age. Kids make stupid decisions some times. He missed a meeting. Sounds like the coach did the right thing and made him sit for it. Good. Maybe he’s gotten that out of his system.

Sent a tweet to WHLFromAbove on Siemens and he said the bleacher report on Siemens was a total joke. He said Siemens is progressing like he should. He’s being used for the first time as the shutdown pairing against top lines. Which, in context makes you realize that Elliott wasn’t facing top lines last year now doesn’t it? He missed a meeting, that’s why he was scratched. Not because his ability was in question.
I'll keep this brief.
Yes, I realize that. But, to me, it’s disappointing that he would miss the meeting. Why wouldn’t he go?

jus t did that with my Psychology class. It met once a week at night. The same time as my trumpet ensemble. Went four times the whole semester, got a B (helped kill my 3.8 just a little more), and my trumpet ensemble just made the National Trumpet Competition Semi-finals. I think it was a pretty good judgement call

killer. In drumline we had this warm up routine called the pyramid of death. 1 beat of 16th notes, 1 beat of rolling, stop for 4 beats, then 2, 2, stop for 4 beats, then 4, 8, 16, 32, and then 64 BUT, if one drummer miscounted and messed up, you started over. Killed the forearms.

Hahaha, you know, it’s awful when one of exes and I broke up I would say I missed him one time: when I was buying electronics. So how awful is that? In fact, after an eight year relationship, I didn’t cry… I wasn’t really even upset. Now that’s sad.
If I could I would. I’ve actually booked an appointment with a Visa specialists… I want to be in Denver so badly. Well, actually, I want to move somewhere just outside of Denver. I don’t really want to live in that big of a metropolis.

Big cities are great for some people. I’m not one of those people.
I think Campbells just has that kid nostalgia for me. Plus all the salt is good for my blood pressure. Of course, it could just be that I have one of those habits of poor people that are hard to break, like eating shitty. I mean, I love to cook and I like good food, but some of the things that taste best to me are also some of the most horrible foods around.
Actually, as far as relationships go, I think the sad part would be staying in one that was so dull that being out of it didn’t even make you upset.

I’ve never been a big city person. I like actually knowing my neighbors, as silly as that sounds.
I’m not above “bad food” at all. However their chicken chunks have always been suspicious to me. Even as a kid.
It really was. It’s honestly the best thing that’s ever happened to me. We broke up and I felt such happiness, and then I realized that I had forgotten what true happiness felt like. It’s why I refuse to be in a relationship when I know that in the long run he couldn’t make me happy, or that I couldn’t make him happy. Sure happiness shouldn’t come from the relationship, but it a bad relationship can certainly hold it back.

Also, helmets shouldn’t be required during warmups. Hall was a freak accident. Sakic, Forsberg, Smyth, Tucker, Blake etc… did pregames without helmets for literally decades at a time without incident. That player could have easily stepped on Hall’s neck, cheek, mouth, nose etc… and a helmet woudn’t have done squat.
I'll keep this brief.
I don’t like the idea of the League mandating helmet use for practices and warm-ups. But, for some reason, I feel like a team should be able to require it of players if they want to. It has to do with my dislike for needless bureaucracy at the highest level and the need for a team to be able to protect their investments. If the mandate is because “BLAH INJURIES BLAH NANNY STATE” then I hate it. But if its like the contract clauses that prohibit skiing (to lessen the possibility of knee injuries), then I understand and allow it.

Super expensive ones are far better quality…but the ones I have are in the 80-100 dollar range, and they work OK for the amount I play. They have lasted me 2+ years now, and I am not in the market for new ones anytime soon (unless I win the lottery)

Honestly, no, they aren’t that great. I used Easton’s for one year after Bauer changed their boot from the convex to the square frame. They lasted a year because I threw gave them away. You probably don’t need a high performance skate either.
I would try the Bauer Vapor Women’s. They can run in the 80 dollar range depending. My sister uses Vapor primarily because the ankle support is much better than Easton or Missions.

I just hated when Bauer changed their boot. After they changed over, Bauer would let you order special made skates for the same price so for prep school and college I had Bauer make a skate with the old boot, new ankle, and new tuuk bottom. In 2007, they stopped allowing special orders that weren’t from a team or agent or whatever.
I tried Easton’s and I had to give them away. So awful. Now I am back to the new Bauers and I had to get used to the boot.
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.
I wanted to try Grafs when I bought my new ones but they didn’t make a boot that fit my foot. Ended up with some CCM’s that I like a lot, especially since the two of them put together weigh less than one of my old bauers.
Skates are like shoes or boots or any other footwear. Buy less on what other people think you need and more on what fits YOUR foot. That being said, ankle support is a must have in a skate.

When I was learning to skate, I rented for a while prior to buying. Ended up with a $120 pair of Eastons on sale to $80 and I’m happy with them. Biggest thing for me though is that the skates I bought fit me really comfortably, as opposed to most rental skates. A really comfortable fit made a world of difference for me.

I think people’s feet are so different that you just need to try them on and see how they feel….. for me width is a big issue. So I had to go through a bunch of skates to find one that worked for me.

I figure a season or two would be nice. I’m not as concerned with the length of time they’ll last. I’m completely new at this, so I want a good skate that will protect my clumsy feet and ankles. And I was hoping to spend no more than 200$. But I understand that I might need to spend more. At that price range, I know that it probably won’t last years. I’m okay with this, the feel of having a skate on my foot is new, so in a season I’ll know more about what’s comfortable, if that makes sense? At that point I’ll be more willing to invest more into a pair that will last longer.

I paid (I think if my memory is right)close to $300 including tax for a ccm vector 8, which was only a slight bit behind the top of the line skate. For $200 you should be able to find something more than adequate for your needs.

That’s the right approach. If you’re new to skating, and of relatively light frame (as you appear to be), even a cheap name brand skate will last as long as you play (with the possible exception of laces, eyelets and such). You just wont be pushing the skates’ durability enough.
Also, it’s really hard to tell “comfort” by just trying on the skate/boot unless it’s the lowest end skate with a lame-o footbed or something. The comfort of the skate isn’t determined until it’s been broken in a bit. I’d be more concerned about ankle snugness.

It’s not the logo. It’s the whole red sweater with the logo and the C with tomahawks. The whole thing is the ultimate hockey sweater.

I totally agree… I really want to buy a Toews jersey…

I feel a little guilty for how much I love my red Toews Jersey. The only Avs jersey I have that compares is Sakic’s, but it’s super gigantic and framed on my wall.

I do too… I have only Avs jerseys and then a Crosby Team Canada one and a Lucic Bruins jersey (because I said I’d buy the jersey of the team who beats the Canucks in the playoffs last year) and I want the Toews jersey lol.

I was so bitter that he was the one that scored the OT winner. He did so little in the whole tourney and then gets all the glory. Grumble Grumble

Yeah…. but everyone knows he didn’t do much, Toews won MVP and Crosby kept the spotlight…
It just felt right.

I know, but I’d rather anyone else score that goal. It was a right time/right place type of goal to boot.

I just ordered the kit to make my second blank Nords into Guite. The other one is going to be Leschyshyn, he autographed it, so it makes sense to me.

I went to my father’s house in the summer. He told me I had a box of old stuff in the basement, so I went and looked. I had four jerseys. LOL. One is an fourteen year old white Avs jersey. The Dang thing still fits! So I went around and around trying to figure out who to put on the jersey. Three of them were blanks. I didn’t even remember having those! I also had a lot of really nice shoes in there!

$10 says he stays in CLB. They’ve sucked hard for years and years and he’s been there throughout. That, plus his captaincy and his $7.8M (yeah, that’s right, $7.8M!) cap hit says he’s a BJ for life.

I’m with you there. I love our logo. It catches a ton of shit from everyone, but I prefer it over the foot (although I like the foot as the alternate logo – or foote, I should say).
Just a Colorado girl in Montana who ♥s the Avs and writes for Mile High Hockey.
what do others have to say about it? I think it’s well put together.

The only thing I don’t like about the Avs logo is that it’s gigantic and super stiff on the “premier” jerseys these days. I’m either going to get an authentic Radar blueberry once he changes his number, or wait it out for a jersey redesign.

He made mention of it in an interview aired during intermission of the FLA game. Personally, I hope that he leaves well enough alone and sticks with 37.

Dang. My 6 yr old’s got all kinds of 37 stuff since he’s an O’Reilly fan. Even paint on his room wall.
Email Radar a picture of your kid in his room with the words “#37 is special”. Something tells me O’Reilly’d be a sap for that sort of thing. Problem solved.

LA is the lowest scoring team in the conference, Varly played great against them last game.
Anaheim is on a tear right now
NYI (2) – ANA (4)
CBJ (4) – ANA (7)
DAL (2) – ANA (5)
ANA (0) – CGY (1) OT
ANA (5) – EDM (0)
ANA (4) – VAN (2)
PHX (2) – ANA (6)
thats a shitload of goals in their last 7 games. Do you really want a shaken Varly facing that potential onslaught?

I look at that, and although wins are wins, there are only 2 quality opponents in that pool, PHX and VAN. Look at who else they beat, NYI, CBJ, DAL (depleted by injury), EDM. I see LA as still the better team, who has also been red hot as of lately. They win with defense and goaltending, and I think we need our BEST goaltending to give us a chance against them.

Anaheim is one hell of a team. They should have been a lock for the playoffs at the beginning of this season and their top guys have woken up. Scoring 4 or more in 6/7 is incredible. Whoever your opponent is. Period.

it definitely is, but their depth isn’t very good at all which was one of the main reasons they were so bad the first 35 games or so, their big 3, weren’t doing much of anything. How much longer can their big 3 keep up this super high level of play?

Why is he still so good? Ridiculous. They have 37 games left and only have 39 pts which means to get to that 96 point threshold, they need 57 pts in those 37 games. That’s a 26-6-5 record (which can be switched around due to loser points). They are essentially eliminated if they lose 9 games in regulation. That is one steep hill to climb.

It will be interesting to see who comes to play.
Will it be Anahiem’s big 3 or will O’Reilly and Landy shut them down?
That’s a good point, last game they were very effective at stopping those 3
