I’ll be working during this game (why the hell it is at 3pm beats me) but I think, for the first time in a long long time, I expect a loss.

I’ve expected a loss the previous two games. Division games are garbage to watch. Can’t get excited for them. Plus I’ll be at work too.

The reason I'm in town, in case you're wondering, is because of a Kansas City Shuffle.

So, that would make the Avs record 26-12-13-2 where they’ve had 13 good effort losses.

I’m hoping those points count next year.

Sacco’s plan is to become the first coach to ever suit up 9 defensemen in a game?

by stpn47 on Feb 4, 2012 10:07 AM MST up reply actions  

It probably happened a few times when there were 12 forwards and 8 defenseman dressed (four lines of each) way back when. Not sure when that was, maybe pre lockout.

by ProfessorOak on Feb 4, 2012 10:08 AM MST up reply actions  

Or if the team was planning on seven defensemen and lost an forward at warm up, might throw a d-man up there ala JML. Of course that would mean they didn’t have a healthy scratch at forward…or that person was just very very bad.

Will it count if Hunwick plays forward because that is my guess to increase the offensive production. Jones and Gali as healthy scratches and Hunwick takes Gali’s spot on the top line because he skates good.

Doesn’t it have to be filed? I figure if Sherman calls Quinn (or whomever) and informs them of the call up, Barrie would be told he’s nto playing in the next LE game. He tells the team and Malone tweets it. Sherman can’t officially add Barrie until he reassigns someone, puts someone on the IR, or makes a trade. Maybe that move hasn’t been finalized, officially, or filed, officially.

Further, they made an AHL trade for Richmond. Seems likely they are connected, which leads me to think Elliott is staying.

Any of you who have played the drinking game Kings

Know it can be dangerous. We were playing, and i got to make up a rule, so I made the little man rule; you have to take the little man off your drink before you drink and then put him back on, if you don’t you drink again. My friend about 8 cards later gets to make his own rule, (all rules stay in effect until the end of the game) and he pulled the ultimate dick move. He made a rule that anytime anyone took a little man off their drink (so every turn), I have to drink… Ultimate dick move, but I’m not hungover so I’m pretty happy. That and it was free Grey Goose, so all in all, a good time! Go Avs!

Hey vtcaps

If you stop by, someone mentioned this in the mailbag

I have noticed that at the beginning of each period, Semyon Varlamov immediately tosses his water bottle back to the bench without even taking a sip. He will then bring one back after the first stoppage.

Did Varly do that in Washington, if you noticed?

We should make an Avs Drinking game.

Here’s a start (feel free to cross out or add):

1 drink:
-Anytime Sunnyside says anything overly positive about a player on the other team
-Whenever the refs miss a blatant penalty committed against the Avs (+2 drinks if it results in a goal against)
-After every game that Hejduk, Stastny, or Jones didn’t score a goal
-Landeskog gets called for goaltender interference
-Kyle Keefe says something zany (Such as “Top Shelf where Mama keeps the peanut butter!”)
-Rycroft calls the Avs “we”
-Altitude shows the NHL standings

2 drinks:
-Altijinx results in a goal or penalty against us
-Sunnyside unleashes a McNabism (+1 drink if you’ve heard it before – such as the “so-and-so is one of the best, if not the BEST, whatever it is that they’re okay at”)
-Anyone says, “We didn’t start on time”. +1 drink if it isn’t Sacco.
-McNab and Haynes go off on some random tangent that has nothing to do with the game
-Julie trips over her words or says something that doesn’t make any sense

3 drinks:
-Someone scores their first NHL goal against us
-The Johnson or Varlamov trade is mentioned

Chug:
-Anyone scores a hatty against us
-The Avs get shutout against a NW division rival

So you are able to laugh at your own failings? I guess that’s better than accepting the truth. Ignorance is bliss. Or, in your case, ignorance is reality.

Well, I’m off to studio. If there is a good stream, I’ll just watch it there. If not, I’ll be coming back home.

I’m just hoping that the game is interesting enough that I don’t get anything done and I’m not in a foul mood for the other two sporting events I’m attending today.

DirecTV has a new feature where you can stream Pandora while watching a show. I’ve been using it for the last couple of games to add a decent soundtrack to a crappy hockey game.

Ok, boys and girls. Does anyone want any tickets for the game in an hour and a half? I can’t make it and Tim hasn’t gotten back to me yet, so he loses. Free to anyone with a flash seats account. 3rd deck, decent seats.

Datsyuk may have done it first, but he learned it from Peter Forsberg.
