Tweet I don't do recaps often, but every once in a while I like to make notes about a game: Avalanche 4 - Thrashers 3 (OT) Recaps: Avs: Mile High Hockey, Anyone but Detroit, All things AvsThrashers: Blueland Blog I had completely different observations on this game than a lot of people did. I had good seats that I acquired cheaply at the last minute, but I thought it was entertaining. I thought the Avs...
Tweet With the Kovalchyk trade last week combined with the Phaneuf trade to Toronto it's abundantly clear that the trade season has begun, and longtime readers of this blog know that if there's anything I enjoy, it's the rosterbation associated with Armchair GMing. Despite contending, the Avs actually have a couple of trade chips that they could, and would like to, move for modest return. All indications are that the Avs aren't going to make...
Tweet Avalanche: 5 - St. Louis 2(Game Recaps: Avs: Anyone but Detroit, Mile High Hockey, Mile High Mayhem. Blues: St. Louis Today (who gives "Colin" Stewart a little credit, Blue Note Zone ) Last night the Avs took on the St. Louis Blues, and frankly it was a rather unspectacular affair. The Avs still got an important win, but the game just lacked a ton of energy from the fans down to the players on...
Tweet Sunday was a great day for hockey. Watching Sid and OV square off is always fun. Then Sid goes and pots 2 of the prettiest goals you'll ever see, leading the Pens to a 4-1 lead. Ovechkin then decides to take the game over and notches a hat trick, and assists on the game winner in OT in a game that saw some great hits, a great crowds, and some inexplicable officiating. But every...
Tweet Well this weekend was a big weekend in the NHL. Whenever a legitimate superstar is traded the hockey media gets all atwitter. When it involves the Toronto Maple Leafs, holy crap journalists get so happy because they finally get to use that second pair of underwear in their laptop bag.When the Leafs trade for TWO of the NHLs biggest stars the hockey media resembles cougar night at happy hour on a Twilight movie release...
Tweet The Avs played Dallas-Minnesota-Dallas-NY Rangers. Seeing Ott-Clutterbuck-Ott-Avery was enough to bust out my bardish powers and pen an ode to cowardly pests across the league. More after the jump Here's the story of some sorry cowards Whose reputation is league-wide maligned. All of them were known, to take cheap shots, And run opponents from behind. Here's the story, of some diving bitches, Some of whom use their stick like a harpoon, others put their...
Tweet One of the things that baffles me this season is that, despite having a breakout season, Wojtek Wolski has taken an extraordinary anmount of grief from fans (and so has Stastny, Clark . It seems like every time the Avs have any kind of slump, or even just the top line, Wolski is getting hammered for being “lazy”. There's no question that Wolski has, at times, dogged it in his young career. He's been...
Tweet (NOTE: the link screws up when I put in the same title, so this is reposted from Monday so people can get the other links) This is a relatively new feature I'm doing. I like it when people link to me, so I'm paying it forward. These are some things I've been reading over the last week or so. Link of the Week.

Tweet So I went on a nice snowboarding trip over the last 2 days, and had very little access to internet or much in the way of hockey news. I did have access to vast acreage of white fluffy powder, and 4"-8" of it fell from the sky, so it was a pretty decent trade-off. Surprisingly, Ray Emery was nowhere to be found either (I kid, I kid). So what did I miss in the...
