Avalanche at Blues, Game 43 Preview

The Avalanche is coming off an impressive shut out win in Chicago last night, handing the Blackhawks their third straight loss. The Hawks were on the second leg of a back-to-back set, so fatigue may have factored into things. The Avs are facing the same situation themselves tonight as the team moves the show down the road for a tilt against the St. Louis Blues in St. Louis.
Fatigue is not the only challenge facing the Avalanche tonight. The Blues have the league's best home record (16-3-2) and have not yielded a game in their building for over a month. David Backes is still putting up the points, leading the Blues with 28 of them. He's had 2 goals and 8 assists in his last ten games, in fact. And lest you forgot, he does a pretty good job at scoring them against the Avs.
Although Jaroslav Halak has done a stellar job for the Blues lately, he's played the last two, and there's a chance former Avalanche Brian Elliott will get the nod tonight. Coach Sacco has already stated that Jean-Sebastien Giguere will be in net for the Avs.
Same ole story lines abound with these two teams; curses of former players and money on boards be damned, though. The Avalanche is playing some good hockey right now, and there's no reason to think they can't finish out this road trip a perfect 4-0. It won't be easy, but if it was easy, there wouldn't be any fun in it. Speaking of fun, the Avs are on a 4-game win streak, having won 9 of their last 10. Oh, and they also are 8th in the West and 13th in the league right now. Don't get too cozy with that information because the standings change after every game lately. It's still fun, though.

Elliott is the confirmed starter.
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.
they are winning, no changes. wonder who will be the odd man out when Wilson comes back?

No no, Brian Elliott.

eh, sorta, 2 goals in two games, but in the past 5 he still only has those two goals

One empty net and two that were just open backdoor. Not the Stewart of old goals….. yet. Confidence can do a hell of a lot to a hockey player.
I'll keep this brief.
The one he had against the Oil the other night was quality. Yeah it was open backdoor, but he created that entire play.

You know which combo I miss? Porter – McClement – Kobasew
As a checking line you get a solid centerman with two up-tempo wingers. The few games they were together they were flying. McClement would get the puck and the other two would create havoc all over the ice.

that is horse shit. There were 5 Canucks player on Thorton and none of them got booted for the day. If you are going to call it, call it constantly. And by the way, Burrows deserve to get hit like that, making that spearing motion right in the face of Thorton. Wow I hate the canucks. What a bunch douches.

I think they’re trying to overpolice to get the game under control… but I think that they’ve been going tooooo far.
How is that getting the game under control… giving a 5 minute major to Boston to the Canucks is overboard…. you might as well give the game to the Canucks now… what a f’n joke.

We’ve all seen it happen before… it’s the same principle behind calling a penalty on one team during a scrum but not the other. Make it known that anything on the line of legality is going to be called and called harshly.
It frustrates me to no end.

44.1 Clipping – Clipping is the act of throwing the body, from any direction, across or below the knees of an opponent.
A player may not deliver a check in a "clipping" manner, nor lower his own body position to deliver a check on or below an opponent’s knees.
An illegal "low hit" is a check that is delivered by a player or goalkeeper who may or may not have both skates on the ice, with his sole intent to check the opponent in the area of his knees. A player may not lower his body position to deliver a check to an opponent’s knees.
44.2 Minor Penalty – A player who commits these fouls will be assessed a minor penalty for "clipping."
44.3 Major Penalty – If an injury occurs as a result of this "clipping" check, the player must be assessed a major penalty (see 44.5).
44.4 Match Penalty – The Referee, at his discretion, may assess a match penalty if, in his judgment, the player attempted to or deliberately injured his opponent by clipping.
44.5 Game Misconduct Penalty – A game misconduct penalty must be assessed anytime a major penalty is applied for injuring an opponent by clipping.
44.6 Fines and Suspensions – There are no specified fines or suspensions for clipping, however, supplementary discipline can be applied by the Commissioner at his discretion (refer to Rule 28).
Its all about the injury

Complete horseshit… that second PP goal should’ve never happened… and that was such a chincy goaltender interference call… and I never knew ducking a hit because someone is coming barreling down at you being wreckless is grounds for a 5min major…

I wish I could hear what Jack from NESN has to say. He’s typically very impartial with his statements (not with his tone, but that is more difficult to control).

The refs do realize that… if you give the Canucks a major powerplay… and they run up the score… do you really think the Bruins won’t just pound the Canucks face in?
They have nothing to lose… but to send a message.

Did anyone see Salo writhing in pain… throwing his stick… and then gets up and skates away?

Yeah, it was quite the performance by Salo. That said, I do NOT like that hit by Marchand, not sure it warranted a major but damn it was dangerous.
it was textbook clipping
and hence a game.. sadly.
