Quincey Eats Crow, Avs Down Detroit 4-3

Just 1:35 into the fray, a pair of fresh 27s found themselves on the ice. Steve Downie took the puck in alone on Jimmy Howard and patiently passed up the shot as Howard had things covered. The Avs #27 took the puck behind the net where his pass out to the point deflected into the slot. Landeskog beat three Red Wings - one with a 27 on his back - finding the puck and immediately pounding it home. Steve Downie +1, 1 assist. Quincey -1.
The Wings found themselves on a powerplay just seconds after the early goal because of a Mark Olver goalie interference penalty. As Quincey brought the puck from behind his net on said man advantage, Kobasew lost an edge and fell to the ice, tripping Quincey. Momentum kept the puck moving forward right onto David Jones' hot stick and the good doctor burned a wicked wrister past Howard's glove for a short handed tally. 2-0 Avs. Side bar fun fact: a few seasons back, Kobasew (then a member of the Wild or Bruins, I don't recollect) inadvertently fell on Jones' leg, knocking him out for the season. Tonight, Kobasew lost his balance yet again, this time knocking down Quincey, resulting in David Jones goal. Moral of the story: Kobasew's fall.
The Avs had a brilliant opportunity about midway through the period as O'Reilly and Landeskog executed a great 2-on-1, but Landy got jammed and Howard was able to make a couple saves. The Avs enjoyed a couple powerplays to try to put Detroit down 3-0, but couldn't get 'er done. Period ends with the road warriors up 2-0.
For the second game in a row the Avs were called for a ghost penalty. Olver was whistled for high-sticking in the offensive zone. I watched the replay a few times but never saw a high stick. Can anybody shed some light, or am I right in assuming that was a horrible call? Karma came through though and the Avs killed the "penalty".
The Avs did make it 3-0 with just over 6 to play in the second on Landeskog's 2nd of the night. Landeskog is amazing. We've raved about being impressed with his play all season, but he is finding another level lately. HE'S ALWAYS IN THE RIGHT SPOT. It's uncanny. That spot in this instance was the slot. Landy took a shot from the blueline and all the guys in red got caught up watching Downie and O'Reilly work behind the net. Landeskog strolled in behind them and O'Reilly found the rookie for his 7th goal in 9 games.
The Red Wings opened the third with a powerplay goal to cut the Avs lead 3-1. For the first 45 minutes, the Avs did not look like a team that played the night before. They were tenacious and all over the Wings. And just when it looked like their legs were stating to get fatigued, Wilson connects with Downie on a simply perfect pass that pulled Jimmy Howard out to the edge of his blue paint and Downie slammed the puck home for his second goal in as many games. Wilson wasn't done there though as he beat the shit outta Abdelkader with about 8 minutes left in the game. Awesome.
The Wings tacked on two more goals in the final 6 minutes, but who cares. They lost. Avs win.
- Landeskog - I penciled him as the first star in the second period. 2 G, 5 Hits, 6 Shots, +3
- Downie - 1 Goal (GW), 2 Assists, 3 points (5 points in 3 games with Avs)
- Ryan Wilson - 1 Assist, +3, a beat down, and set up Landy's 2nd goal even though the scoresheet doesn't reflect it
- Landeskog - O'Reilly - Downie
- Galiardi - Stastny - Duchene
- Winnik - Olver - Jones
- McLeod - McClement - Kobasew
- Johnson - O'Brien
- Hejda - Wilson
- Hunwick - Elliot
- Giguere
- Landeskog missed his first career hat trick by about 1 second as his empty net goal crossed the line after the buzzer.
- Galiardi showed some rust looking a bit lost, slow, and weak in his first game back. Where art thou Galiardicus?
- Stefan Elliot took a puck in the face, finished his shift, then left the game. He returned to the bench in the third wearing a full cage but did not play. Good soldier.
- Hejduk missed the game with an injury. The Wings were without Datsyuk who was out with a boo-boo on his knee.
The Avalanche return home to take on the Ducks Monday the 27th at 7pm. The Avs have notched at least a point in 8 of their last 10 games, totaling 14 out of a possible 20 points. Anaheim is one of the hotter teams of late and are right on Colorado's heels, so a regulation win would be the suggested course of action. Go Avs.

Dario had it right, “make-up”call. Kobasew should have gotten 2 on the Jones goal. not sure how the refs missed it to be honest.

HTC makes very quality phones although they’ve just been kinda pushing the same old stuff out recently, I still like them. I’ve been rooted on my HTC Desire for a long time and I love running custom operating systems. I see massive battery life improvements.

My girlfriend has a Transformer Prime. Loves it, for the most part. Has the occasional hiccup, but she refuses to check the community forums to fix it.
I'm waiting to get the dock. That's important as it's going to act as a laptop basically for me.
It’ll be nice to have for the flight back across the ocean when I move.

The dock isn’t as good as a true keyboard but it’s WAY better than any touch-screen keyboard. It’s leaps and bounds closer to being a laptop replacement.
Well the reason I need the dock..
is the usb usability and extended battery life. It’s mostly gonna be there for me to put my music on (since iPods don’t recognize FLAC) and to hook up my external to when I travel so I can watch movies and tv shows on stupid long flights.
Minnesota continues to hang around despite their roster full of shitty hockey players. - Thanks A.J.
It seems like missing the USB port is a huge oversight, hey? Glad they included it on the dock, but it’s a bit of a kick in the jaw that they didn’t put a USB port on the main tablet.
I see why they didn’t though, the Prime is ridiculously thin, and a USB port on the dock works for a selling standpoint too. My dad loves his Thrive that I got him (which is way thicker) and includes the USB port.

It’s not a miss. Someone (dang it, can’t remember who) pointed out that a trip during the course of a play (I’m saying it all wrong) isn’t a penalty. McNab mentioned the same thing immediately after the play.

That’s just bizarre. NHL needs to allow some flexibility there then, because maybe that’s not a penalty to the letter of the law, but I can’t see how it shouldn’t have been in spirit,

I humbly disagree, Jibs
How can you penalise an accidental fall, which then contacts another player? He fell, but the fact that he slid into dickwad is completely incidental.
The rules are the rules, the less ambiguous (sup intent to blow?), the better.

I love Landy. I plan to be his father-in-law someday. But Henrique has better numbers on a better team playing more important minutes (more on their PK, which is great, by the way). And that team is in the Eastern time zone. I’m sure others can be more detailed with this argument for Henrique, and I’m not going to argue that hard against my future son-in-law. Just saying that Henrique’s still in the lead, in my opinion.

I don’t understand the better line mates argument. I would think the guy with slightly less numbers on a ‘lesser’ team, with ‘lesser’ line mates would be a better choice. I’m just crazy though
Can't listen to Party Rock anymore....all I hear is 'Everyday lines are Shufflin'
I think he’s implying that he has better line mates, which help him get better numbers (not to take away that he is having a great year, but KOV and Parise are helping a little) which may eventually be what pushes him over Landy and everyone else.

Within the next two games, Duchene will start to produce, and once Mueller comes back, he will be back to producing at a good rate. He improved this game over his last game and even though his game wasn’t the best, it wasn’t the worst ever. I feel it coming.

Is anyone worried that Landy is our leading goal scorer. I love him, and would love to see him be our leading scorer of the future, but he’s a rookie. A bad ass rookie, but a rookie nonetheless. I want our ‘vets’ to start scoring more I guess is where i’m going with this.

I don’t wanna say it doesn’t worry me, but it’s been working for us. This team has six more points if Duchene and Hejduk are scoring the goals they should be. That being said, I have confidence Duchene will turn it around soon, not so much with Hejduk.

I do appreciate that he recognized it was a huge win. That speaks volumes to me about his team play. He may like Detroit but his team comes first.

They were pushing and shoving in the crease before that. I think applepucker might have taken a hit from Wilson in the corner that he’d taken exception to.
On my fee during the commercial break they were cueing up the replay and showed it in reverse really slow.

Wilson gave Abby a shovel while they were fighting for the puck along the boards. Abby ass over tea kettles to the ground, gets back up, shoves/wacks Wilson with his stick and that was all she wrote.

TSN also thinks there should have been a call.
Quincey, in his first game against his former team, appeared to be tripped by the Chuck Kobasew to cause the turnover, but there was no call.
Go Avs.
Go Blues.
I think TSN is very respectable and one of the best hockey sites on the interweb, but they don’t have a fondness for teams in the SE division or teams that rhyme with cavalanche. They’re a little biased for Canadian (obviously), and original 6 teams, I also think they have a particular malevolence for transplanted Canadian teams. But again, I think they are one of the best hockey sites out there. I think it should have been a call, rule book doesn’t. Good game by the Avs regardless.

“completed play” implies he got puck….. did he?
At exactly what point do you start to realize that life without knowledge is death in disguise?
Nope. Kobasew’s skates went right through Quincey’s feet and he lost the puck as he fell. It was definitely a trip. Refs blew the call.

Quincey definitely had possession. I think the refs standpoint, which was additionally described by THE Peter Mcnabb, was that THE Chuck Kobasew had fallen and his momentum carried him through the puck carrier without intention to obstruct. Haven’t looked up the rules on this but Mcnabb made it sound plausible.

He’s deserved the AHL if it was based on previous play. Nice to see him contribute in a positive manner though.

I said it before..
I think post trade Hunwick was very shaky still. Didn’t have confidence at all. In his final games of the season Avs management saw all they needed and knew he wasn’t going to be a mainstay this season. However, they figured he’d be a cheap option as a 7D for injuries and as they’ve shown in the past, they’ve been incredibly patient with him. Letting him prove he belongs and work his ass off to earn a spot. So far, Hunwick has taken his opportunity and ran with it. This is not the Hunwick we knew last season.

Was at Blue Jackets game last night and during the entire third period, Giguere would lean over the boards when the puck was in the Avs end and yell out to the Avs players, being an extra set of eyes. At the end of the game when Varly got the shutout, no one was more excited that Giguere. Very cool to see and I think that’s indicative of what he brings to the Avs.

Andi — I have to disagree with you. JVR is exactly the opposite of what the Avs look for, and the opposite of what they need. I’m a couple years older than JVR, but I went to the same college and lived in the same dorm, and I knew some of his teammates on the UNH team. All I can say is, the guy’s pretty selfish, thinks really highly of himself, and doesn’t put effort in unless he wants to. Not a team player, and rarely plays full steam on D. Think Wolski, with a higher ceiling and a really, really bad attitude. Philly can keep JVR. I wanted to like him, but I just couldn’t after hearing how (and why) 95 percent of the locker room didn’t like him at UNH.

Kind of. I’m just not a fan because of my firsthand experiences. I mean, I know his horrific play at UNH was just because he was biding his time until he could leave for the Flyers (he made a deal with coach Dick Umile to stay at least two years), but still, so painful to watch. He’d shy away from contact, not backcheck (or forecheck, for that matter) and just float worse than Stoa save for one or two shifts where he decided to try and do something offensively. He might be different now that’s he in the NHL, which is all he cared about, but I would be pretty unhappy if the Avs pulled the trigger on that trade. I’d put money down, in fact, that the Avs don’t trade for him.

I don’t understand the JVR lovefest either. He has a top pick pedigree and one solid playoff. Other then that, while playing on an up tempo team, he’s done jack scoring wise season after season. We have soft scorers already and need a player more in the mold of a Wayne Simmonds then a soft JVR.
I'd love Simmonds, too
But to get up on JVR for not producing in the NHL confuses me. Have you ever looked at the teams he’s playing on? They’re absolutely stacked, man. He’s spent his whole career sitting behind great players on offensive machines. There’s only so much ice time to go around and you aren’t going to take much away from Jagr so JVR can find the ice.

He’s been given his chance many times on the top two lines and hasn’t taken advantage of it. He’s probably been given a much longer look because of his draft pedigree. Its not like Flyers want to purposely hold a second overall pick back, they did draft him after all.
Haha okay

Hm. That’s an interesting perspective. We certainly don’t want selfish players on this team – I hadn’t heard that about him before. I wonder if he’s grown up a little in the years he’s been in the NHL. I would hope so. But if he hasn’t, that’s a deal breaker right there.
Still, that type of player – another power forward that has the potential to score a lot – would still be an amazing addition to our team. I was hoping JVR was Parise-light and a player that we had the chance of getting. But I definitely don’t want him if he’s going to have an attitude problem.

Selfish in college is different than selfish in the NHL.
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 hope so. And I also hope that he’s matured since then too. If so, I’d still like to see him wearing an A. But we just got rid of one attitude problem – we don’t need another.
Just a Colorado girl in Montana who ♥s the Avs and writes for Mile High Hockey.

Lots of life left to mature. This whole thing is a moot point though because where there once was a fit with Philly there isn’t anymore. JVR isn’t being traded to us lol

True. There have been rumors about it, so it’s obviously not going to happen.
Just a Colorado girl in Montana who ♥s the Avs and writes for Mile High Hockey.
True — but I’m mostly talking about personality off the ice, not on. He could definitely have matured since then, but he was tagged by the rest of his teammates as being pompous and acting like everyone else was below him. From that standpoint alone, I’d pass. Not saying he wouldn’t be good on the ice in some situations, but I really just don’t think his positives are enough to outweigh his personality.

Then they got good, and nobody ever discredits their guys for their ridiculous bandbox park. I hate them.

Dater’s on the Jay Mc bandwagon, all of a sudden? Gee, what a surprise.
- Steve Downie was excellent again, though, as the scouting reports said, he can be a little shaky with the puck in the defensive zone.
Typically, as in this example, he writes a comment on Downey, but just has to throw in a dig, that I think comes from Dater reading reports and looking for what the report said, instead of just watching the player. I think Dater locks in, and looks for a player’s tendency, even if it might not be there. To me, Downey has been better defensively than the reports, and has been more than respectable. He’s a smart hockey player, who rarely loses the puck off his stick, and makes nice, quick little passes in the defensive zone.
...holy freaking f*ck, snakes!
I don’t see it as a “dig” as just seeing it how it is. He definitely isn’t the best in the d-zone and seems to float a little but he is a really smart player. His passing ability is quite good as well.

So one of my friends was real pissed by the Downie trade, for many reasons that many of you were initially pissed. He said, if Downie doesn’t have at least 2 goals and an assist in his first three games, then he will hate the trade. He was pleasantly surprised when he saw that Downie was 2 and 2 in his first three games with us. Gotta love it. Welcome to the team Steve!

Well, apparently that win improved the Avs chances of making the playoffs by 7.5% – up to a 26% chance of making playoffs.
still sucks the Avs didnt draft Strome or Hubs?
And chose the offensively challened grinder Landeskog?
Thank goodness he is playing with star level talent to prop his play up or he would be back in the OHL.
Languishing for Landeskog
Ha, in fairness, Huberdeau was out with a broken foot for like 30 games, but he is averaging 2p/g this year. I’m still curious where is ceiling is going to be.
Thanks, Joe... Thanks, Peter.... Thanks, Adam....
oh he’s going to be good but he plays on a very very good team so anything less than 1.5-2 ppg would be a let down in the Q. When guys like Coyle (who had produced 10 goals over two seasons/ 53 games in the NCAA) comes in and puts up similar goal scoring production… you have to question the quality of teams they have to play.

Loved Landeskog's second goal. That was totally on Quincey
It began rather embarrassingly for Radar, getting put to the ice by Quincey in front of the net. But Radar, in his fashion, is back on his feat in a jump and heads behind the net to help out Downie who is fighting for the puck along the boards. Downie does a nice job winning the puck and making the short dish to Radar. Quincey sees it happening and comes way the hell out of position to pinch on Radar. Then it’s just an easy pass for Radar to Landy, who has absolutely no one within yards of him in the very middle of the ice.
Beauty.

Just finished watching the game. Wow. This might create a stir, but this win is a lot of Sacco. He knew the legs would go at the end and got his team ready to go. He also changed the forecheck from the last two games and it created mayhem for the Wings. To explain:
The Avs usually go with a two layered forecheck and it works with their speed. The goal is to push the puck to the board and take away the middle. In this game, Sacco had the defense hover between the red line and blue line which actually makes less space on the board for dump ins by the Wings. The worry is that it might create odd man rushes, but Sacco must have known the Wings are a slower team and took that risk. It was really smart because the Wings couldn’t find a way of possessing the puck as they entered the zone, they had to chip and chase and the Avs D is very good at stopping that.
Aside for Factor’s line being amazing, Johnson neutralizing Zetterberg entirely, and Duchene/Stastny still a week (or Mueller) away from getting back, Sacco’s strategy was perfect against the Wings.
Sorry, but he out-coached Babcock tonight. It took Babcock almost 50 minutes to figure out what to do and the game was done by then.

Me too. I think Sacco’s a lot like a sheep herder. Earlier in the year, the sheep were going everywhere and it didn’t look like he had a plan, so we were calling for someone else to take over. But after a few more months, he’s finally got the sheep trained to follow him in a nice straight line, and it’s a thing of beauty.
I’m going to say it – I hope he’s back next year. He’s really started to impress me over the past few months now that he’s finally got the boys to buy into his new system. He’s a young coach and he’s learning as he goes, and obviously, he’s finally found what works with with the young guns. They really seem to like and respect him, and now they’ve started to show it on the ice.

Olver high sticking = BS call. But I thought his goalie interference was a BS call, too. He got pushed and then tried to avoid the contact. And what contact there was, was pretty incidental.

Few Points
1) The Heart of that Landy-Radar- Downy line is unreal. That line was th only line I had any confidence at the end. Not a knock on the rest of the team, but Detroit was coming in hard. This line plays the entire ice. They were exhausted but still found the toughness to play the game. If we are going to come up with a name for that line (I know it is way to early) my vote would be the “M F” line because I noticed every time these boys score the defenders is muttering Mother F*ck*r.
2) Landy for Calder. The guy is tearing it up on the scoreboard, but hell he has been tearing it up all year on the ice.
3) This is the team I really expect to see all year. They really have went all out for the last few games. It is really good to watch.
4) Is this the first time Franzen didn’t score an Ovechtrick against us. That was umber awesome.
5) Gali was pretty bad, But he has to knock off some rust. Duchene is still getting his hands back
6) Winnik is amazing at getting offensive chances, he is also amazing at how he does not score, but hey he is a really good on the PK.
7) I knew we had a better chance at beating the Red wings when we play against the Quincy then when we play with Quincy. Thank you for proving me right.
8) Our record since the trade 3-0 while outscoring the opponent. 13-4. Red Wings with Quincy 0-1-1, thus doubling the amount of losses the Wings had all year at the Joe.
9) Wilson beat down Ablekater, thought it was a bad time for a fight, but since we won and it was so lopsided I am glad it happen. Plus it is a great desktop pic
10) Fuck the Red Wings
UMAD line

But the ONE season when he played starter number of games was his worst season (not that a .910 sv% is bad but it’s a far cry from his backup seasons). If they think they’re getting away with Elliott/Halak splitting games again and not giving up a single thing statistically, it just isn’t happening.

I think he’s still a year away from consistent NHL time and they need someone to start now with Anderson injured.
Besides, having depth is a good thing. If Bishop works out, they have a great trade chip in Lehrner. Or they could even trade Bishop for very similar value this offseason.

They’re a health hazard. Planes have vents/holes all over the wings and sometimes birds will try to nest in them if they’re on the ground for any amount of time.

Freaked me out when it flew out.

I’d hate to see him go – he’s so great with McC on our PK – but like everything, I guess it depends on the package.
But after the past three wins, I’m starting to think that Sherman may just decide to ride it out. I mean, even Jones has started clicking. We just beat the second best team in the league in their house on the second night of a back-to-back. Something’s working right now, and I think it’s only going to get better once Duchene gets back up to speed and Mueller comes back.
Yet with the guys coming back from injuries, we need roster spots. Who gets waived next? Porter? McLeod? VAN seems to think the Highlander would work for them and would instantly pick him up if we did try to send him down.
I don’t know. I think we might be able to replace Winnik, but it all depends on who is offering what.
Just a Colorado girl in Montana who ♥s the Avs and writes for Mile High Hockey.
I would say Porter or McLeod or both get traded for that exact reason, waivers are getting ugly pretty soon here.
That said I guess if they dont want to re-sign Jones, he may be traded at the draft now instead of the deadline

Even so, I don’t think he will be re-signed during the offseason, so they may move him just to get some value back. I do like McLeod (when hes not taking idiotic penalties), but I often feel like he’s the odd man out. If he’s ok with that role, then please give him a new contract; but I think he feels like he could do better elsewhere.

So Question
Though its a small sample size Does anyone really think we need to trade now especially this year?
Personally the way Downie has fit in the Landy Radar line its complete.
Once Dutchy gets his hands and Mueller back That line is pretty complete
Our bottom Six doesn’t need any Tweaking IMO
The only thing I might see a trade for is a True #2 Dman and then maybe filling in the pieces we lose for it. We have bottom sixers that can sub for Mueller when hurt (even have Olver who could be a top sixer) I really think that this team is close to complete it just needs some time to grow mature and gain chemistry.

Hunwick I wouldn’t be surprised to see him resigned for another 1/2 years if he agrees to take nacho duty and fill in when necessary

mosdef this
Just because we’ve looked great for a couple games doesn’t mean we aren’t going to come back down to Earth. I like Downie and all but I seriously doubt he’s the difference between the team that has averaged ~2.4 goals per game and the one averaging ~4.3 since he got here. The team is just playing great hockey over the last couple games. We can’t lose sight of the fact that this is probably at best an 8th place team and at worst a 12th place team. It’s not like all of a sudden just because David Jones has had an outrageous 10 games we can suddenly forget about the first 40 he played and think “Okay, we’re good”. If there’s a deal out there, especially for an increasingly redundant piece like Winnik, that makes this team better then the Avs absolutely have to explore that.

by A.J. Haefele on Feb 26, 2012 12:18 PM MST up reply actions
agreed. In fact, I think trading Jones would be a huge indication that this team is looking to seriously improve in the offseason. It says, to me anyway, that they are requiring consistent effort and play from everyone on this team and ya, Jones is valuable RIGHT NOW, but you cant coast for 40 games and hope to win.
Trading Jones opens up this team to be more aggressive in the offseason as well, especially if Duke decides that he wants to stick around another year. You hold on to Jones and you’re an organization that is ok with borderline top 6 talent. You trade Jones and seek a top 6 winger, like Parise, in the offeseason and you’ve shown a commitment to winning to your fans and players.

But Jones is in bottom 6 right now where most think he should be in my model he is in bottom 6 unless Mueller is down and still he isn’t only one that can move up. I think that yes we have some redundant pieces but I say let this season ride out and continue evaluating.

If we make zero moves
I would have no issues with that.

I should spend the rest of today trying to find Avalanche-type fits and see what I can come up with.

I almost would be okay with holding onto Jones until the offseason. He doesn’t seem to start the season until February – I think that his value will skyrocket by the end of the year and we’ll be able to get a better price for him sometime closer to the draft.
But then again, he’s set to hit UFA. That will affect things.

Yeah, I agree with this. We’ve looked good recently, but there’s always room to improve. I still believe we’re in the rebuild, but it’s just in a more advanced stage than the “draft draft draft!” place we’ve been at for the past few years. We’re looking to upgrade via trades, and if Sherman gets a wiff of a deal that would help this team in the future, he’s going to take it.

I really think Downie is a catalyst for THAT line playing better. Look at pretty much all the goals from that line he has been a factor in. He is that guy that will dig the puck along the boards and make something happen with it which is what that line needed.
Will they fall back down oh no doubt they can keep this pace, but will they fall back down to what they were I don’t think so I think Downie was the right piece for that line.
Duchene and Stats have shown they can do good with Mueller he just needs to be healthy and that line will get some better matchups due to DRL line taking top lines its going to give nightmares matchup wise

I think that we could actually start to run a set up like Vancouver (minus the diving). The Sedin line get a crapload of sheltered offensive-zone minutes, while the Kesler line takes quite a few of the defensive starts and turns them into scoring chances because of their ability to steal the puck.
The Duchene – Stastny – Mueller line has the ability to be an incredibly potent offensive line, but they’re only so-so defensively. The Landeskog – O’Reilly – Downie line (UMAD line) on the other hand is one heck of a 2-way set that gets quite a few of their scoring chances because of takeaways, but still has a much lower offensive ceiling than the first line. If we start running it to where the top line gets more opportunities to score (assuming they click like they should), we could get a crapload of scoring in these next two months.
Where does that leave Hejduk though? I don’t know.

Avs seem focused on “character” guys. Not sure they’d be after JVR, if what people say is true about him being selfish. I’d be concerned we’d just flip him to some other team in a year for a 3rd round pick once we learn that the hard way.
Getting our hands on Giroux, however……might make it worthwhile in and of itself.

Giroux is great…perhaps
Stastny for Giroux straight across. Stastny is only two years older and has 70pts three times. He’s had two bad season on what has arguably been the Avs worst seasons. Giroux has 2 70pt seasons (though this season could be higher), but now has some questions due to concussion.
Jiggy a great goalie who could still be #1 and is a very high caliber back-up.
JVR I’m still unsure of….
I’d drop the 3rd round pick at least
Datsyuk may have done it first, but he learned it from Peter Forsberg.
Thanks for everything Foppa!

Anytime you get a chance to acquire elite-level talent, you pull that trigger.
Stastny is not on that level and is at a position of depth. Giggy was signed for cheap as a FA and is replaceable. A 3rd? Meh, low odds on becoming a quality NHLer.
Not sure why there would even be hesitation here. Elite players are the hardest to come by and everything else is replaceable or from a position of depth.

Boston is interested
To give a little more clarity to this, Pierre Lebrun named these guys earlier in the day and said Boston is the interested party.
The Boston Bruins are still hoping to add both a forward and a defenseman. A source told ESPN.com Sunday that B’s have interest in Daniel Winnik, T.J. Galiardi and David Jones — all three Colorado Avalanche forwards are very much in play. Winnik and Jones are UFAs July 1 while Galiardi is an RFA July 1. The Bruins have interest in possibly dealing for one of them.
Lebrun’s link to this story – without direct names being mentioned – came across my Twitter feed at 12:42 p.m., while McKenzie’s, with the name of the 3 Avs, came across my Twitter at 3:04 p.m.

Seriously, tho, whom do you want from that roster? I would think that most of their forward corps would only be a lateral move for us, not making us any better. And defensively, their top guys won’t be available. We could trade for draft picks I guess, but I expect they would only be interested in getting ones for this year, but if they didn’t take one for Quincey…

We would likely have to give up all three guys for Horton, honestly. I wouldn’t be against it.
Actually I would think that a Jones / Barrie package would get him, since they are looking for some help defensively too.
Thanks, Joe... Thanks, Peter.... Thanks, Adam....
Isn’t Horton still on IR with a concussion? Yahoo sports seems to think so.
I’m not wild about trading for a concussed player.

Yeah.
Just a Colorado girl in Montana who ♥s the Avs and writes for Mile High Hockey.
Horton would be worth the risk. Third pick overall, still only 26, for three guys that we probably aren’t planning on keeping around long term?
We wouldn’t need his help this year. He could have plenty of time to recover. Hell, JVR was out with a concussion for 14 games or so. I mean, we just won’t get a top guy unless they have issues. We would have to sacrifice our core to get them, and that would likely just be a lateral trade.
Thanks, Joe... Thanks, Peter.... Thanks, Adam....
True. But doesn’t the league have some sort of physicals that a player has to pass before they can be moved?
Just a Colorado girl in Montana who ♥s the Avs and writes for Mile High Hockey.
The physicals are only in place for finding unknown injuries; people get moved that are injured all the time, and the trades go through as long as both sides are aware of the problem.
Thanks, Joe... Thanks, Peter.... Thanks, Adam....
Well, in that case, I’d say it would probably be a good move then.
Just a Colorado girl in Montana who ♥s the Avs and writes for Mile High Hockey.
I doubt they would do it, tho. Thats a decent piece of their future, and they would have to be very desperate for another cup this year to move him. Honestly, it would have to be Jones, Barriott, and O’Brien to get them to even consider it. Thier PK is ok without Winnik, and they need guys that can compete now for the run; Jones to as a forward that can fill in, SOB as the D depth, and Barrie as some icing on the cake. All for a 50-60 point young forward to replace Duke or Mueller.
Thanks, Joe... Thanks, Peter.... Thanks, Adam....
I think we shouldn’t. Something better could be had later on if Sherman is patient. I’m just gonna trust Sherman/his scouts on this one, they seem to know what they are doing
Agreed. I have a lot of faith in management right now.
Just a Colorado girl in Montana who ♥s the Avs and writes for Mile High Hockey.
Personally, if that offer is on the table, I would take it (assuming the doctors take a look at the kid first).
- Jones is likely done with this team, and our most valuable trade piece thats outside of the core.
- Barrie, Elliott, and Guance: one if them, at least, is going to have to go sooner or later.
- O’Brien: LIke the guy a lot, but we can sign another Dman with no problem, perhaps one significantly better for a top pairing.
In return, we would get a guy who, altho slightly spotty medically, could be a top line guy without question. He doesn’t have quite as bad a concussion history as Mueller, altho it is bad. He was third overall in 2003, an excellent draft year. He’s UFA in 2013, is signed for 4mil$ a year, and is only 26.
The more I look at it, the faster I would jump on the trade. And the dumber Boston would be to offer it without waiting to see how the kid progresses.

Ever since it was suggested it didn’t seem like a fit simply because the Avalanche made it clear with the Downie trade that if they’re moving pieces around, they aren’t looking to shuffle the deck. They want to make the NHL team better. Boston doesn’t really make any sense

Tbh right now I see none of the three in our long term future. Love Winnik but the dude’s a prime candidate for “Cup run role player” pickup…
At exactly what point do you start to realize that life without knowledge is death in disguise?
I think Winnik could be a great 3rd/4th rounder for us moving forward. But if a team is desperate and offers a good sum for him, I’d say pull the trigger. We have McC to lead our PK, and if nothing else, we can call VDG back up (he was pretty solid on the PK if I recall).

He shows flashes of being a very effective pest who can piss people off and be effective in all three areas of the ice but when he plays poorly holy hell is he bad. Like really bad. Maybe a new team with a fresh start is exactly what he needs to get his career back on a consistent path. I’d love for it to work for him here but I wouldn’t at all be surprised to see him go.

I don’t think that Gali has pissed off the management, per se, I just think that everyone is disinterested in him because he hasn’t found a way to produce. Not like he’s constantly taking idiotic penalties, or his turnovers are constantly screwing over the team, or things like that. He just… seems to be out there. Having almost no impact, positive or negative, on the game; a warm body.

And we’ve SEEN the things he can do when he’s skating and has his head in the game. He can be a real force but so far Sacco hasn’t been the guy to harness that. If another team thinks they can get it out of him and they offer us something useful in return, peace TJ.

I guess I’m projecting, but I think Brad Malone fits in somewhere in the near future as a Winnik type. Maybe.
I didn’t like the guy much last year, but I think he’s had a really, really good season in just about every situation this year.

I'm fine with all of them
I think Winnik gets crazy overrated here. He’s good on the PK but we have SO many forwards who can effectively play it and he has essentially zero offense. The guy has 155 shots on goal and FIVE WHOLE GOALS. I know scoring isn’t why we have him but if he’s going to be on a line with Jones/Olver or Hejduk or something on a pseudo-offensive type line, which appears to be the shift with the Downie acquisition and Mueller returning to health, then he has to stop being a complete black hole on offense. He’s had a good year overall but if we’re planning to let him walk then trading him to a contender would be a really good idea.

I disagree that we have so many forwards who can do well on the PK. I think that there’s a huge dropoff after McClement and Winnik. Honestly think our next best tandem is O’Reilly/Landeskog, and we’re already putting a pretty big burden on those two.
Disagree that Winnik’s a black hole on offense. In fact, I don’t think it’s any coincidence that the lines he skates on are generally successful, whether it’s with O’Reilly and Landeskog at the beginning of the season, or with Olver and Jones now.
If we can get a decent price for Winnik, I’d go for the deal. Wouldn’t do it for anything less than a 2nd rounder.

Winnik works hard. He creates space for his more offensive linemates. He’s not exactly an offensive force himself, but he’s a catalyst for chemistry.
Just a Colorado girl in Montana who ♥s the Avs and writes for Mile High Hockey.
If we want to keep him
he needs to be sliding down to the fourth line with McClement as Duke/Mueller return from injury. Are we really going play Winnik over those guys? As the overall roster talent continues to improve, a guy like Winnik needs to be getting less minutes. If other teams see him as a guy to help round out their cup contending rosters, he’s probably going to be more valuable to them than he will be for us moving forward. I’m very open to moving him.

Im open to it, but not unless it helps OUR team in the long run. I mean, trading him for a third rounder is probably going to net us nothing. Its better than if we are planning on letting him walk, cause at least its something, but I wouldn’t trade him just to be active.
Thanks, Joe... Thanks, Peter.... Thanks, Adam....
I agree
I don’t want to move him for just anything but moving him for something of use would be nice. This is the problem with trading him. His value in return is really difficult to nail down because his on-ice production is balls but he helps a team in so many ways.

Yeah, it’s hard to say what his market value is. He might be one of those guys that the value is in the eyes of a beholder. If you get a team that’s looking to compete but needs to help out their 3rd line and PK and are looking for that one missing piece, Winnik could become extremely valuable.

If we make a move that will knock us out of the playoffs this year, but could help us become a Cup Contender next year (when we add in a few more FA pieces), I’d be okay with that.

but of course i still want to make the playoffs. they always talk about how valuable playoff experience is

Agreed. But getting better for the future is still slightly more valuable at this point than playoffs are. Playoffs are important, but the sooner we can solidify ourselves as a 4th-5th consistently, the better off we’ll be. If that means biting the bullet and missing them this year, okay then.
Just a Colorado girl in Montana who ♥s the Avs and writes for Mile High Hockey.
Besides we’ve been in the playoff race for what, 15 games now? Lord Sakic stated that the playoff race is just as valuable and I never question him, especially on things like gaining hockey experience
I doubt there is any move we could make (unless it was something radical like trading away O’Reilly) that would take us out of the race. But right now, a trade could easily result in a 2-3 (or more) point swing up or down, which could easily mean the difference between making playoffs and not.

Okay
made up a list of guys I would love for the Avs to go after who might be available and would fill a hole and a combination of Jones/Galiardi/Winnik might be attractive to them:
-Francois Beauchemin, D, ANA (would have to waive NMC)
-Andrew MacDonald, D, NYI
-Nikita Nikitin, D, CBJ
-If Boston is seriously poking their noses into our business, let’s ask for Andrew Ference.
Since I’m doing this in a hurry, it’s a lot less in-depth than I wanted but those 4 guys would make a lot of sense for Colorado right now and moving forward.
Beauchemin just signed an extension with Anaheim last month but after the top line Anaheim’s offensive depth falls off the table with old guys. Jones would make a lot of sense for them as secondary scoring and wouldn’t have to be relied upon to be a primary goal scorer. Beauchemin has an affordable contract as he nears the end of his career and would be a very good partner for EJ. This is probably my favorite option right now. I strongly doubt Anaheim would move him after just signing him to that extension but I can see a lot of angles where this would make sense for them. It would help both teams now and in the next couple of years.

We are still pretty far out of the playoffs, and all the teams we are racing to 95 are playing well, too. I maintain that the plan is to compete NEXT year, not this one. They will do what they feel is necessary for then, including buying guys in FA and whatnot.
Also, SOB would become much more expendable if the Avs did trade Jones/Gally for D help.

Thanks, Joe... Thanks, Peter.... Thanks, Adam....
I agree with both points, but having another D come from somewhere else would be necessary. I don’t know if I see that happening. Boston might want Jones/Gali but they won’t give up a roster player. It’s tough to create a scenario where SOB for a pick makes sense either long or short term.

I think that SOB likes it here, but if he had a chance to be a meaningful part of a cup contending team, he would prefer that. And, if some team really wanted to make him a part of it, I could see him going for an early third rounder during normal times, and an late-to-mid second rounder for a desperate team at this deadline.
Im still not sure I would do it for that, but thats what I would entertain. We gave up nothing but money for him, and if they plan on buying defensive talent in the off season, they may think he’s expendable.

I’d hate to see him leave regardless of who else we pick up. But there aren’t a whole lot of spots, even with getting nobody. Got to figure at least one of SOB/ROB/Wilson won’t be around next year. It will be tough to see any of them leave really.

Nash in Vancouver makes so much sense it’s crazy. They can offer CBJ Schneider, Hodgson, Raymond and picks. It really would be a great fit if they can make the money work.

I wasn't saying ALL of them
but a combination of two of the players and a first rounder would be acceptable. I imagine Schneider and Hodgson would be the two I asked for but if Vancouver said “no, but you can have Raymond” they might consider that. Raymond has had a bad year but he’s a real good player when he’s going right. And I don’t think with Booth and Kesler each being 27 it would be a complete mortgaging of their future even if they did decide to toss all of them in there. Lots of quality players on that team.

Schneider/Hodgson are expendable to the extent that they aren’t crucial to Vancouver’s current future (though some would argue Schneider is….)
Mason Raymond doesn’t make sense… he’s a disappointment playing on a line of Kesler and Higgins…
I hope they wouldn’t…. if I think the Bruins are in the same boat…. no? Rask/Hamilton for Nash? Boston plays such a great team defense, AND they have Thomas as well…

The West standings is a picture perfect example of why rewarding teams for making it to OT is bad. Colorado has more wins than all the teams not already in the playoffs but we’re still in a dogfight with up to 7 teams to make it in to the postseason. It’s outrageous. Colorado and Phoenix are tied in wins but Colorado sits 5 points behind them. Seriously? This isn’t asinine to a single person in the NHL?

Classic case of
a team using a strong month to get back in the race and not having the legs to do anything once they caught back up. I think they peaked already, much like Detroit might have already peaked (realllllly average away from home and have definitely had their fair share of dem breaks during that streak) and Phoenix might be hitting theirs right now.

Phoenix better. Every team in the race getting lucky/playing out of their minds is driving me nuts (hi Dallas)
I think Dallas sees reality
them selling off Grossman for a couple draft picks the way they did was kind of a way to hedge their bets. If the current team can get carried to the playoffs by Ryder and a hot goalie, cool story, but I don’t think their management is planning on it.

Panthers...
I looked at them earlier and was trying to find a fit. I wonder if the Avs would be interested in Gudbranson and pairing him with EJ. He’s been a bit of a disappointment so far but would fill the immediately role of a potential #2 D.
From the Lightning I hope they’re looking at Eric Brewer. Big body who happily moves opponents out of the crease and has an acceptable contract.

Because
The pieces we’re looking to move won’t bring back an obvious upgrade at the forward position unless we started adding in other pieces (certainly possible but I’m not going to guess that) and with O’Byrne hurt and us relying on a trio of Hunwick/Elliott/Barrie for the next 2-3 weeks it would be very wise to make a move for a strong defense-first defenseman.

For example
if the Avs wanted to package Jones/Barrie/and a mid round pick to Toronto for Grabovski I’d be all about trying to make that work but when you start looking at trades that require multiple big pieces from one side it gets really difficult and I’m just really lazy. I’ve spent most of this afternoon looking for deals like Jones for Brewer that would probably require a liiitle bit more to work but the primary framework is there.

I think we can acquire top-line forward talent more easily in free agency than we will be able to find top-pairing defensive talent; I would rather trade our existing assets for D than F.
Thanks, Joe... Thanks, Peter.... Thanks, Adam....
Yeah, definitely.
I think our defense, while muuuuch improved over last year, is still in need of some tweaking. With Hejda and Johnson we have the makings of a really solid top 4. Wilson has had his typical up-and-down season but I think he’s proven he belongs in the NHL and is a really solid 3rd pairing guy. I’m fine with O’Brien being in that top 4, I guess. He’s solid and fairly consistent. I’d love to somehow pry Wideman from Washington and make up a top 4 of O’Brien-Johnson and Hejda-Wideman but I doubt we have the pieces to make that move. Because the kids we have are so offensively inclined, a defense-first type would be preferable and we could probably get one that’s a bit better than O’Byrne. Not hating on him or anything but O’Byrne still feels like a third pairing guy at best and we’re flat out running out of room.

I have zero doubt that had the Islanders done the rumored and taken Duchene first, TB had already said they were going to take Tavares second and the Avs would’ve had Kane/Hedman to pick from. I think we would have taken Hedman then. And Shattenkirk would probably still be an Av.

This scares me…. that’s a lot of cap space for a team I hate… that should be right up against the cap….

What site is the best to get the earliest update on Avs Trades?
Dater doesn’t tweet anything and I have been by the computer to hear any news.
I have school work to do. I am hurting myself here. :(
If you have an iPhone or Apple product, TSN has a TSN Trade Centre app that updates right away.

Oh man
When the EJ trade went down last year I was on vacation in Tennessee and I got a text saying “You just traded Shattenkirk and Stewart for some guy”. She wasn’t familiar with Erik Johnson. I had a complete meltdown in the middle of a Donkey Kong Country Returns run because I thought we were giving away pieces for scrubs.

Anybody think that any of the playoff racers can sneak to 6th?
Nobody wants to separate fromt he pack, really
Even Phoenix’s 9-0-1 in their last 10 only got them a 5 point separation from us. It’s going to be wild. 6-12 could all be interchangable

Anything can happen, but I’d bank on VAN, DET, SJ, STL, NSH, and CHI in the top 6, maybe not in that order. And 2 of PHX, DAL, LA, and COL getting 7th and 8th. I don’t see CGY making it
I’m not banking on CHI for anything. Their goaltending is a mess and there’s no way to tell how long Toews will be out.

It amazes me how tight the conference is… you look at teams like CHI, LA, SJ that I imagined would be elite at season’s start all within striking distance of the Avs, or in jeopardy of missing the playoffs. Colorado may not be that far away from being one of the top dawgs in the conference.
Sports don't build character, they reveal it
All the bubble teams playing like it’s the playoffs. Can see the urgency as the Avs, Dallas, Minnesota etc. wins, as generally the past week, the lower team in the standings beats the
team higher in the standiings. So called top dawgs better not wait too long, to get their urgency, or they’ll be on the outside, looking in.

The Avs have a chance tomorrow to make a statement about Anaheim. We play Anaheim two more times this season, so if we beat them I’m not worried (IF).
The trade deadline's too early, by the way.
With this one-goal/three point league, this shit’s still too close by this time of year. Either make a win worth 3 points, or move the deadline back by at least two weeks so we can have clearly defined buyers and sellers.

The Doug Gilmour trade
Several months after the Toronto Maple Leafs hired Cliff Fletcher to be their new general manager, Fletcher made a blockbuster trade with Calgary (where he had previously been general manager). On January 2, 1992, the Maple Leafs acquired Doug Gilmour, along with Jamie Macoun, Ric Nattress, Kent Manderville and Rick Wamsley, in exchange for Gary Leeman, Alexander Godynyuk, Jeff Reese, Michel Petit and Craig Berube. The 10 player deal was the largest in NHL history and, statistically speaking, one of the most lopsided.

I’m working on a trade tree for the Avs. So far, I’m through the ‘98 offseason. I still don’t know if I’m going to keep it in excel or put it in InDesign, but it’s pretty interesting. We made A LOT of trades the first two years, and it kinda died down some by the 3rd. But we had 10 picks in the first 6 rounds of the ’98 draft, including 4 firsts and 3 seconds.

It's Blizz polish
This is one of the reasons they make such great games upon release. They take it seriously. I don’t have any problem with how this has happened. When they released the beta in October they were still shooting for a 2011 release. They did it with the intention of learning more about their game through the testing by public testers. Now they’ve scrapped what was by their standards a system that wasn’t fun and was more tedious than anything else.
I don’t have any problems with how they’ve done the beta. It’s a picture perfect example of WHY companies have betas and have them be ACTUAL BETAS and not just glorified demos. I have even more confidence now that the game is going to come out awesome.

At exactly what point do you start to realize that life without knowledge is death in disguise?
Yeah, exactly
all their “betas” are fucking stupid.
Even the ME3 demo was a fiasco. There was no real centralized place where you could report bugs or problems and the mods weren’t active at all in responding to people. It was just a fucking nightmare. Bioware really bombed it. I loved the demo but the PC issue of going into a multiplayer game and not being able to adjust your skills was completely unacceptable. How does that slip through internal testing??

Different strokes
I actually bought full version of HoN for 10 bucks right before they made it the same free to play model that LoL has. There are mechanics of each game that I really like. I love the creep denial system in HoN but hate that your gold goes to your opponents upon death. Death is already SUUUUCH a big penalty in those games that having the gold you HAVE earned just go to them makes the snowball effect much more dramatic as you shift to mid/late game.
AoE is awesome, btw.

I read up on the games every year. Most of it is just minor this and minor that. Nothing that makes the overall feel of the game better. Honestly, a guy dragging his foot at the blueline isn’t game-changing. It’s a nice subtle touch but one that should’ve been in there years ago. This is my problem with sports games. They get away with releasing these games with subtle tweaks and don’t address very many major issues that bog them down.

For how much I play, it’s easily worth the 60 bucks. Those subtle tweaks are what makes the game for me, not so much the graphics but the live nets, glass breaking, being able to be dumped into benches and a much improved physics system.

Mile High Hockey : Where B- is different than C+
Steve Ott to Colorado?
Recent reports – including the most recent by Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun – suggest that the Colorado Avalanche have entered the bidding for center Steve Ott of the Dallas Stars. Ott’s a physical two-way player that certainly adds another element to an Avalanche team that sits just two points out of the final playoff spot in the Western Conference. Remember, this team just recently added a similar player in Steve Downie.
- Eklund.
So that’s a no on Ott I’m assuming.
Paul Stastny did, what Paul Stastny does. Score big goals.
More like, if they are going after him, whom are they giving up? Would this be a Winnik and Jones deal? So he could play… where? How does this make any sense at all?
Thanks, Joe... Thanks, Peter.... Thanks, Adam....
I guess that he would be better than Winnik, in his own douchey way. Make the team stronger. Better than Gali. More points than Jones despite the latter’s hot streak. Signed thru 2014 for a fairly high 2.95m per year. Maybe they think that he would do better than Jones for the money. Another guy that can be a gritty top liner if necessary. I dunno.
Thanks, Joe... Thanks, Peter.... Thanks, Adam....
I mean
as a hockey move, Ott makes some sense. The team is clearly trying to get meaner and more physical and bring a much nastier edge than the Avs have ever really had but Ott is a colossal douchebag. That’s the only reason this is so unattractive.

Jiggy with some quotes in the DP on Landeskog/The Calder... Right on point
“He should be talked about for that award. I think he’s going to be a future captain in this league. He’s been a bright young guy for us. Their line (Landeskog, Ryan O’Reilly and Steve Downie) right now is the best line on our team. They’re carrying our team. They play as well offensively as defensively. They set the tone for us all night, and they play in all three zones. Quite frankly, I think our other line (Paul Stastny, Matt Duchene and TJ Galiardi) needs to step up and get to the level those other guys are playing.”

Hmmm
Well classic rock is my favorite.. pretty much any of it..
I also play the piano/keyboard and am really into Ronald Jenkees (youtube hero!).. he has an album Disorganized Fun that is awesome. Jeff Beck – Blow by Blow is another that comes to mind.
Sports don't build character, they reveal it
Of all that
There’s no one classic rock album that just strikes a chord with you the others don’t?

Ha well most of my “albums” were Greatest Hits CD’s growing up…. As far as bands I’m probably pretty cliche.. The Who, Zeppelin, Queen are probably my top 3
Some other newer albums I like
Jimmy Eat World – Bleed American
Linkin Park – Minutes to Midnight (some of their songs are really awesome to play on piano)

I LOVE Bleed American
Eaaaaaaasily my favorite of theirs.

Cynic’s Focus. So far ahead of its time, that bands are only beginning to imitate it now.

My one favorite single lp/CD would be Keith Jarrett’s, ‘The Koln Concert’. Improvisational piano is quite incredible.
Favorite song is ‘Where the Streets Have no Name’. Concert video of Rattle&Hum! This song would be my candidate for Avs theme song.

Yvonne Strahovski is soo hot…. She does the voice for one of those games… And Chuck is an awesome show if you haven’t checked it out

haha
Have seen every episode of Chuck at least twice. One of my favorites ever. She does the voice of Miranda in ME2. God I need a life

Season 5 kinda fell off, not sure how i feel about it. But 1-4 are top notch.. seriously tho.. my head… pillow… now!

I loved Season 5
They wrapped it up in a fitting manner. I was curious how the Intersect would play a role in the end. Never saw that coming. It was a happy ending.

It is fun for me. Watching sleep-deprived people is always fun. Especially after a good night sleep.
