An introduction to team Corsi in even strength situations and how it applies to the Avs. I've touched on this idea before commenting on other posts, but wanted to give a full in-depth explanation to a) actually justify why the numbers I was using are relevant, and b) show that I'm not just talking out of my ass. The Flames turned out to be the perfect team to frame us against, so looks like it was my (statistically) lucky day! This post also has a chart, so it's practically a scientific paper.
Matt Duchene receives the Top Tenth and First goal of the week
"Nobody is ready to hand him a Norris Trophy just yet, but Sarich has been the Avs' best defenseman in their 3-0 start"
Landeskog-Stastny-Tanguay/ O'Reilly-Duchene-Downie/ McGinn-MacKinnon-Parenteau/ McLeod-Mitchell-Bordeleau/ What do we think? Obviously top 2 are 1/1A and will split time, but it is hard not to be excited when your 3rd line looks like that. What do we expect the production to be for each?
New Avs goalie coach on the state of Canadian goaltending development.
I feel like Bigras should be in there somewhere.
I saw these on Icethetics and had to share. Forgive me if they've already been posted somewhere. These would be a clear improvement over the current sweaters and would look damn good on the ice IMHO.
"The Colorado Avalanche Hockey Club announced today that the team has agreed to terms with captain Gabriel Landeskog on a seven-year contract extension through the 2020-21 season."
Proof positive that we minor leaguers haven't a hope against such quality and talent.
