What really needs to be said about this game? If the Colorado Avalanche seeks to remain in first place in the Northwest Division, this game is a must-win. There, I said it. Must-win. Must-win! MUST-WIN!!!
If they do not want to stay in first place, then I guess it doesn't matter. Lose away, Avs, lose away!
The game starts at 6:00 PM Mountain time, 8:00 PM Eastern. I will not be home for the start of the game because I'll be at the rink watching live, local beer league hockey instead. Where I live, you take every opportunity you can to see actual hockey on actual ice, even if it falls down a lot and isn't allowed to body check. At least they play for a cool trophy.
I should be home by the third period of the Avs game. Hope to see a few of you hanging around making wise-ass remarks and posting tasteless pictures. Don't let me down.
