Avs Vs Wings In 4th? Really?

ESPN The Magazine has a list of the top five sporting brawls, and the Avs/Wings fight of 3/26/97 is ranked fourth. Look, Nolan Ryan beating the living crap out of Robbie Ventura was awesome, but it lasted 30 seconds and never had a rematch. The Brawl In Emptytown lasted THE ENTIRE GAME and the bad blood lasted NEARLY A DECADE. And why does the magazine incarnation of a television network have a web site? Is there a rift in time somewhere because of this?

This would explain why he was so ineffective this season. He just had alot on his mind...

Best news I've heard all day

Best news I've heard all day

Minnesota is putting Stephane Veilleux on waivers. As long as the Avs don't go and sign him, it's good to see that little putz get the boot. I couldn't imagine having him AND McCleod on the same team, we're getting "pesty" enough as it is.

Filthy Wings

Filthy Wings

Young Stud Radulov Thinking Russia??

Young Stud Radulov Thinking Russia??

I stumbled on this story yesterdy afternoon and emailed the Forechecker. He hadn't heard anything about it yet, but is keeping an eye on it. Radulov is an up-and-coming offensive star in Nashville, and I've had him on various fantasy teams in the past couple of years. The Mrs. is a Nashville fan and this news did not go over well. It also doesn't bode well for the NHL/KHL transfer agreement that needs to be worked out if they can poach young talent like Radulov.

Team Analysis

I just found this through the forechecker's website. It has some very interesting data as far as player contributions to a team go. I'm still weeding through it, but I thought you guys might find it interesting too, in a nerdy kind of way...

Dater's blog

One of Daters latest blogs has him weighing in on the Hossa to Dead Wangs, Finger to Toronto and Theo to Washington free agent deals as well as Raycrofts main problem, apparently he's too nice of a person.
Not a bad read, plus their's some stupid comments from an Avs fan as well.

Joe's finally someone's girlfriend too

Joe's finally someone's girlfriend too

And from the article, if you need proof:

Joe from Mile High Hockey, as astute an observer of this franchise as you'll find

Jibble is quoted too, but without the flowery, glowing, you-look-real-pretty-wearing-that-lipstick, intro.

Avs re-sign Liles, Foote.

Avs re-sign Liles, Foote.

Well, finally some certainty. Liles gets a 4 year deal. Foote gets a 2 year deal. I'm happy about this. Our defense would be slower than those Comcast turtles if Liles left. And could perhaps re-signing Foote make Sakic want to come back more?

Pucker Up

Pucker Up

Adrian Dater continues to kiss Draft Dodger's ass. I don't blame him, though, because I do it too. David's pretty much completely amazing and I'm more than ecstatic to have him contributing to Mile High Hockey.

Please don't ever stop, Drafty. Kisses.

NHL Fan Faceoff Panel

NHL Fan Faceoff Panel

Both me and the Mrs. participate in this PR/marketing vehicle for the NHL. It generates about a half-dozen surveys about various aspects of NHL fandom including game attendence, TV viewing habits, merchindise purchases, etc. This is the time of year where they ask us to send them fellow fans of the Avalanche to generate a new pool of survey takers for the upcoming season. It's free to join and usually pretty quick when it comes to the surveys. I recommend signing up if you have any interest in the NHL and how it's trying to grow the sport of hockey in the US.
