And the Rookies Regale
Going into this season the Colorado Avalanche knew they were going to be depending on rookies. And they knew they were going to be playing them in key positions and for respectable minutes.
The experts knew this too and the last thing they gave the Avalanche was respect.
They were predicted to finish anywhere from 14th in the [...]
Predators @ Avalanche
As the Avs head into this game, the thing they need to concentrate on is momentum. They’ve won seven of their last ten. This team has thrived lately on wins, their own as well as that of the Predators.
The Preds have won six of their last ten. They’ve recently been on a mini-tour of the [...]
Avs Hammer the Oil
After a great performance on Saturday against the New Jersey Devils, Avs fans were wondering if this team would keep their foot on the pedal against the Oil or play down to the competition.
Going into tonight’s game against the Oil I couldn’t help but be a bit surprised by this quote by Ethan Moreau, “We’re [...]
Who is Ryan Wilson?
Let’s just get the basic data out of the way, Wilson, a native of Windsor, ON shoots left and is listed on the Avs roster as 6’1” and 207, he is 22 years old. Wilson was an undrafted defenseman playing for the OHL’s Sarnia Sting when he was signed by the Calgary Flames in 2008 [...]
Avs @ Flames pregame
The Avs and Flames battle for 1st place tonight in Cal-Gary. If the Avalanche registers a regulation win and get the same from the Preds vs. Vancouver, we’ll be golden and sitting atop the Northwest. Take those sloppy seconds, Calgary! But there is a bigger picture here: just one point by the Avs tonight means [...]
Tough Road Trip for Liles, Not Bad for the Avs
The Colorado Avalanche hit the road on a 3-game trip, facing Ottawa, Detroit and Columbus. But for John-Michael Liles, it was a road trip to forget. Youngster Kyle Cumiskey returned to the line up from an injury and Coach Joe Sacco found himself with too many healthy defensemen. Someone had to sit. Not too many [...]
David Koci is about to be run out of Denver
Oh please, please say it isn’t so! After Colorado fans have stood by their fallen comrade, Steve Moore for years, please say that Colorado isn’t the home of the newest, most evil, most hated, boo-when-he-touches-the-puck villain in the league! David Koci’s hit on Mike Green is the talk of the town. And word is Koci [...]
The Avs D needs to get tougher
The Colorado Avalanche have starting goalie, Craig Anderson back in net tonight after missing four games due to an injury inflicted by goalie killer, Keith Ballard. If players continue to run Craig Anderson then I think it’s time a message was sent to the league. And I don’t mean the front office.
The Avs take on [...]
Avalanche Have Great 2nd Period Against Nashville
The Colorado Avalanche got a point tonight in another up & down game. With the Nashville Predators in town for a pre-Thanksgiving game, the Avs decided to take the first period to work on tomorrow’s menu.
Just 3 minutes into the period the Preds were on the power play and made good on it for the [...]
Dual-Personality Avalanche
The Colorado Avalanche are officially nuts. They have two personalities.
Last Saturday the Avs played the first of four-straight divisional games. Coach Joe Sacco called the game a “must-win”. The Avs failed to even show up for the game, leaving the head coach looking like a big dummy. The Avs went through both goalies and let [...]
