NHL thread!

Ah Avalache win again.  Best start in Franchise history 10-1-2.  8-) There is so much confidence with the Avalanche now from when we started. Although the start had me scared after 1 minute and 10 seconds in the first period it was already 2-0, Avs tied it 2-2 by the end of the first then a great goal by Wolski    to get the lead and we get the win and take back first place as Pitt had just earlier tied up with us.

Although dissapointed by how many shots, I think it was like 13 shots I saw or something on net but good that we got in 3. We've got some injuries though another one tonight.  :-/

San Jose next! Wish I had tickets ill most likely go to the one in March.

Well the Wings made a comeback...but im sure your still pissed.

[BigTruck]

Little bit, but it's better than them getting hammered.  Scored some tickets to the Sharks/Avs game tonight, I'll post some pics when I get back.

Well you saw a good game. The Avs cant win them all just wish they didnt have to lose to the Sharks. Anderson is really showing the NHL who he is this year. I mean no dought a great goalie. He made some WONDERFUL saves tonight but what realllly really pissed me off is how slow the Avs seem to have been skating relative to other games. Didnt seem like we tried for shots and rebounds till the end of the 2nd period...

Im extremely pissed about how many shots we let the Sharks take. Like 48 or something? Thats why it doesnt suprise me they scored 3. The only players I mostly saw out there skating fast was Wolski and Duchene....Koci was pissing me off the whole game seemed like he was TRYING to get penalties, I would have rather seen him fight. Well cant wait to see your pics.

Anderson probably still the top goaltender in the league, even with those 3 goals against he had a .93 save %  , Glad Budaj wasnt in net.

Ahh, a site where there is a thread that I can actually have a nice discussion with people about hockey.

Avalanche surprised me a lot especially when they beat the Wings about a week ago. But again, the Wings are not gonna get far in the playoffs this year. They have lost Conklin, which was a great back up to Osgood. Howard just won't be great like he was in the AHL, like the old Joey McDonald. Hossa was great, and even though he didn't perform in the playoffs, he still was great. Bertuzzi is back, Sammy is gone to Vancouver, Eaves, who is decent, is now a Wing too.

Now, not to say that the Wings will not be a powerhouse this year, they are for sure not gonna make it past the 2nd round in the playoffs this year.

It's hard to say, the Wings can't seem to find a groove, although it was nice to see them finally shut a team out (Ozzy's 50th shut out by the way)

Powerhouse team...the Wings are not this year.  We lost some hotshots last year and Conklin was great for the regulation season.  However, we brought up some newish players and they're learning the ropes from the Wings veterans.  A lot can change, it's a long season, who knows, maybe we'll slump out and finish under the Leafs   

I'm enjoying the season so far though, some good teams to watch this year.

Watching the Jackets play the Sharks right now...go Jackets!!!

[The Snake 87]

Yeah. I am very surprised we beat Calgary... that shocked me. But Calgary didn't look good. I think once the new guys step up more, we might have a better shot at things.

Who are you a fan of... :-?

Who are you a fan of... :-?

I'm assuming Wings since he's from Michigan...

[tcco94]

Great another wings fan...

Well Avalanche won with Budaj in net for the first time of the season. They were skating alot faster tonight and playing alot better than our last 2 losses. Played a tough Pheonix also which was good to win. Anderson was also named player of the month for October. 

Loved watching the last few minutes they scored an empty net goal then about 10 seconds after Hejduk hada breakaway and scored again. Then with 3 seconds left Duchene made a fast approach at net but no time. They were trying to score more even with the win.

Well with San Jose win Avs droped to 3rd but now they are tied back with Pittsburg...in first... 8-)
