Tweet For those who don't know, Puck Daddy has bloggers write a eulogy for teams once they are eliminated from the playoffs. I was selected to write the Sharks's one. You can check it out over at Puck Daddy
Tweet So I said I'd get around to doing a Top 10 of '09-10 and here it is, less than a month after the season ended for the Avs. I'll be counting down all 10 of the top 10 Avs moments of the season. I thought about breaking this into 2 posts, but then realized I could easily milk it for 10. Without further adieu, here we go: Moment # 10: Bernie Debuts, Avs beat...
Tweet Former Tampa Bay forward, and soon to be free agent, Stephane Veilleux, hurt his shoulder sometime during the last hockey season. No one knows when exactly he hurt his shoulder. Tampa Bay refuses to pay for the surgery he needs to repair the shoulder because they say he most likely hurt it playing the brutal sport of ping pong, and not that gentlemanly game of hockey. But this is just one of many new...
Tweet My freshman year of college I was randomly assigned to a dorm room. It happened to be on the only all-guys floor on the entire campus dorm system. Needless to say, this was also the most boring floor on campus, as no one was ever in their room. If Phoenix moves to Winnipeg and joins the Northwest, and the Canucks move to the Pacific, the Avs would be on thehockey-equivalent to the only all-guys...
Tweet When you're team is out of the playoffs there's only one thing left to do. Take solace and unbridled joy in watching teams you hate lose. Leafs fans have this down to an art at this point. Fortunately for Avs fans, and really hockey fans, the Red Wings are still in the playoffs, so we can hate them (Not for long!) So let's revel in the schaudenfreud why don't we. So what does it...
Tweet After the Habs stunned the Caps in game 7 of the opening round I made a snarky tweet (shocking, I know) Could we re-seed the playoffs? SJ-MTL, CHI-PHI, VAN-BOS, PIT-DET? Seriously, the WC is ridiculously superior to the EC. I didn't think this was all that controversial, but somehow the guy who runs a Pens-centric blog took exception to that comment. I don't want to start some sort of blog-flame war, but he argued...
Tweet (this was supposed to be published a few days ago, but I've been sick for the last 2-3 days.) So it's time to clean out the 'ol locker, and look back on the season. Every season has ups and downs, but this season has been especially fun. The Avs started to shed and move on from the glory days of Joe Sakic and Peter Forsberg, and are starting to move into the glory days...
Tweet Every year at the end of the season I look in the metaphysical mirror and ask mysalef "Did I have fun with that?" It the answer is no then it's time to stop watching next season, or do something different. The answer tonight... unequivically yes. What a great fun season. And watching these players grown up is going to be fun for the next few years. The Avs are on their way to...
Tweet Stats junkies, like Behind the Net, have said that the Avs propensity for being outshot, especially at even strength and with the score tied, is a fatal flaw of the Avs that will come back to bite them in the ass. Well they have been right. The Sharks are really taking advantage of that flaw, to the tune of outshooting the Avs 5,000,000 - 35 at even strength this series (ok it's actually 327-165...
