Dallas has ice girls and eye candy in the stands (that is what the announcers called it, not the honey cam, iirc), the Avs will have geeks with laptops.

What does that kid have to do to stay in the lineup? Hat tricks every other night? You can tell Q is riding his ass due to his play style and comments. Damn shame.

Ohlund is out for the season with knee surgery.  Big blow to Vancouver's back end.  Luango got yanked last night and it doesn't look like there's much help on the way for Vancouver on the blue line.  They could nose-dive rather quickly.

Sorry guys, the laptop is at home and well, I don't look like that girl in the picture, so no big deal.  Anyway, hope you all have a good game!

Go Avs!!!

NHL Network is showing the LE Monsters vs. Grand Rapids and the Monsters are wearing those abominations of tie-dye.

So, if anybody was needing a reason to get hammered, at least you'll have a reason...

Is playing tonight.  And he has the most wicked black eye ever.

Tied 4-4 with 10 minutes to go in the 3rd.

the Steve Ott thread got to triple digits! btw, one of you has to have photoshop, you should make a "doucherade" that looks a little more realistic than mine. Maybe then Joe can use it in his recaps or something.

"In the first period, Todd Fedoruk took a run at Peter Forsberg, looks like Todd has been drinking a little too much doucherade lately"

Or something like that lmao

WOOT! Atlanta up 6-4 in the third. Kovie has a hat trick AND he's on my fantasy team! I think I just might get past the 1st round now thanks to that hattie.

just scored to go up 3-2 on Jersey...end of second

in net tonight.

Ten exciting minutes of Northwest Division hockey, no score.  Yawn.

3-3 vs. Minny.  Mid 3rd.

Finger gets the Avs up 1-0

Jeff Finger is giving Salei a major run for "Official MHH Man Crush."

Not a single penalty the entire first period, lucky for the kittens.

Boring, but merciful.

Trying to screw the avs by giving Minny a power play with a minute left.

Minny and Devils...OT...darnit Minny with at least a point
Kigs beating Nashville 4-1 1:30 left

They're showing a close up of Salei's eye now on Altitude.  That's a badass black eye.

and SCORE!

steal, shot, goal.  unassisted.  2-0 Avs.

Hlinka makes an awesome steal, scores big time!  Huge unassisted goal!

Now who's the Oilers killer?

Prepare to fire...
Avs getting 1st PP of the game

Arnason on the power play1!

Minnesota loses the shootout!!!

yeeeeeaaaahhh buddy

Too bad they had to give Minny a point

Arnason scored, now Q man crush will go off the charts again as we watch his terrible passing and low chance shooting.

Give the oilers a pp and they scored 3-1

Too many men on the ice = coaching error

Oilers score on the power play, score now 3-1

The Oil know have life...watchout!

Sakic called for hooking.

Yotes putting the canucks under siege.  1st period shots PHX 24, VAN 7.  0-0 score.

and reasoner going off for high stick.

Avs now on a shortened PP.

Should a kitten be afraid?

That kitten's a goner....

McLeod and Penner getting nasty.  Nice.

Cody's mucking it up draw a penalty

Avs back on the PP.

Straight from Davey Jones' locker
Holy shit...Avs have 2 ppgs

Wolski with a break away GOAL!

Wolski with a superb breakaway goal!

First place in the Northwest, third in the West, here they come!

5-1!!

in this game tonight.  Most of it from the Oil, but some of the Avs players (Wolski especially) must have drunk a Red Bull during the intermission.

Anybody know the shot count so far? Wait, I know, I know... Avs-25, Oil-12.  That's what I'm talking about!

My only beef with that period (other than the PP goal against) was the Altiboobs going on about the offensive explosion in the last two games.  It was the Thrashers and the Oilers fellas.  Let's try to inject a LITTLE bit of level-headed observation into the discussion, 'kay?

who are we supposed to pull for in the 'Nucks-'Yotes game tonight?  I'm torn....

... like and old sweater!

Altitude already has the Avs seeded 3rd in the west.

Avs are 14-2-0 at home with Sakic
8-9-2 without him.

If I have to hear Coach Q say "it's time for a line change" one more time, I might kill a kitten myself.

They've played that stupid commercial ALL SEASON LONG.  What commercial runs for six straight months?

with a pair of nice saves

The Avs have switched to no offense mode.  Looks like they're content to just run out the clock.

David Jones leads the team in hits again tonight.  Four so far.

The kid hits and scores.  He's Ben Guite on crack.

Oh, and Salei in the box, Oilers get their fifth power play.

#3 Jones
#2 Arnason
#1 Hlinka

And to think Hlinka was riding the pine a couple of games ago...

Dominant win, partly due to Tyler Arnason.  I see he reads Mile High Hockey.

Avs move into a full two-point lead in the Northwest standings.  Peter Budaj had a great game.  

Three stars, selected by Dater:

3. David Jones

2. Tyler Arnason

1. Jaroslav Hlinka

Ha, they can't interview Hlinka because he doesn't know English.  They're interviewing Jones instead.

And Jones is complimenting his mentor Joe Sakic, the worst captain in the league and a terrible burden to his team.

'Yotes up 1-0 over the 'Nucks with ~15 minutes left in the 3rd.

2-0.  A REALLY good night for the Avs.

Nothing said about Stastny during the post game.  It shouldn't be a big deal.

Jillson (sp) was skating before the game in the warm up, so was Footer.  Smyth was not (big deal).

Oiler killer anyone - SuperStar Arny!!!!

BTW - Theo was not looking so hot (he let in shot after shot after...)in the skate while Budaj was looking awesome.

Next game I predict Footer in, Smyth in, Forsberg (so much for the "Forse" being with the Avs) out.
