Bad game for the Avs, as they lost 5-6. I didnt watch but I heard our defense was playing bad and looking at the highlights didnt look like we were playing well. I do think if Anderson was in net we would have won...but still played a bad game...

Havent been paying much attention, cause if been playing constant hockey since friday...and my last game of the whole weekend, I dislocate me knee.

I was on duty so I missed the game, but the Kings took us to overtime and beat us.  Happy to say though that the WIngs came to California looking for 6 points and we left with 5, not too bad.   8-)

Tonight's game is not looking good for the Wings.  Sharks are up 4-2 after 2 periods, scoring 2 goals in 8 seconds early in the period, need them to wake up for the third or I am going to get a hard time at work tomorrow.

After two losses in a row Wings decide to get back in the Win section.  4-2 over the Canadiens, our first "original six" game this year.


"Good ole hockey game..."

[tcco94]

Well Avs started playing hockey after all. 3 game win streak. Some close games and some high scoring ones. 

Quincey injured and Hejduk..Hejduk's injury shouldnt be long but T.J. Galiardi was cleared to play again after being out for almost 2 months.

We play Chicago again tonight...in Chicago.

Duchene and Fleishmann got something going. Duchene 30 games 30 points. Liking it  8-).......what about Tavares? oh he only has 14 points. 

[tcco94]

Oh and if you havent heard. New thing for the Avs...well mostly just Matt Duchene and Stastny...

Every win, you get to see them do this >> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezM089eHYrY

Wow what a day for Nick Lidstrom (Wings Captain)

This morning he is on front page of ESPN for an article about how he is the highest scoring defense man in the NHL, and then in tonight's game he gets his first ever hat trick.   8-)

[tcco94]

Of course Red Wings are on the front of ESPN. The only 3 NHL teams ive ever witnessed on the front of ESPN were......can you you guess?....

Detroit...Pittsburg...Washington!  Of course.

NHL had 4 had tricks last night. One of them included Fleischmann  8-)

Im some what suprised that Lidstrom has never had a had trick..but I guess I can see how because he's defensemen but still, for some reason when you hear the name you'd just assume that he's such a great player that he would.

While your Wings played a bad game tonight, my Avs played a see-saw game of scoring back and forrth. and of course, another high scoring game (as the avs are 1st in goals per game) we win 6-5 in OT....thanks too...

MATT DUCHENE  8-)
The Avs leading pointman and scorer.

Avs take 1st place in Northwest Division and on a 5 game win streak. 2nd in the West. Watch out Detroit.  8-)

[tcco94]

Duchene and Fleischmann are 1st and 2nd star of NHL weekly stars.

Avs win again against Montreal..making it 6 in a row.


Avs vs. Kings tomorrow.  8-)

[BigTruck]

Avs Wings tonight.  2-2.  Ozzy has been putting on a show in the net.  The Wings fans in Colorado were loud enough to start chanting Ozzy Ozzy Ozzy.  In Colorado.  How does that make you feel LOL...you have as many Wings fans as Avs fans in the arena.

[BigTruck]

Avs put up a fight, took us to overtime, but Kronwall one timed it in to get Ozzy his 400th win!  Ironic that he would get his 400th in Colorado against our biggest rival.  Great game.   :) 

[tcco94]

I wouldn't be surprised they're were a lot of wings fans there tonight if I were you because we do have one of the worst attendance in the NHL. Embarrising, since our team is pretty good and it is Colorado...where you think they'd like hockey. I did hear lots of cheers when the Red Wings scored on the radio almost like it was a home game for them.

There's no doubt in my mind that we outplayed the Wings. I think our speed and your guys back to back games made us have the advantage but in the end you guy got 2 points and we got 1. Another shitty goaltending performance. Sorry for the language but our offense is doing amazing things for us right now and so is our defense, at least nothing to blame all of it on them and we only sit 5th in the Western Conference, after being 1st in the NHL in goals.

Anderson and Budaj really need to start stepping up. 

[tcco94]

Even though the Avs have been on a slump, we came through and beat your wings...thanks to Duchene ...
