Based on? I'm not big on my minor league knowledge but surely Roy is not ready to take on a team the size of Colorado. Obviously he is a legend up there but is his coaching resume that impressive? I'd think he would start off like Gretzky has and go from there.

Something tells me that Roy and Emery would get along.

He's doing his time coaching in the Q and it's great experience, plenty of good coaches come from the Q. He already won the memorial cup so he must be doing something right.

Personally I think he would be good in Ottawa to whip them boys into shape, if they find the right coach for the job they can be contenders again next year. Roy just has that infectious attitude to win at all cost, and he would stir the sgit pot in the NHL a lot so that would be entertaining.

It would be great to see Roy be the coach, especially with all these young guys on the team, but I don't think it'll happen. `

Ugh I frickin' hate the Red Wings...

blarrrrggggggggggh

lol. I respect that kind of hate

I bet you all thought you would never see this thread again, huh?

Suckers :-P

Glad to hear Stastny signed an extension through the 13-14 season

Another pathetic performance tonight getting shut out at home vs the Flames.

This team has serious issues. Why is Tyler Arnason even still on this team? I can watch guys on the Colorado Eagles than are better than him. Horrid penalty with just under 6 minutes to play.

Ugh it's gonna be a looooong winter.

Yeah, i used to like Arnason. A good young guy who, when we signed him, looked to be a good, improving young guy....but now its like...wtf??

Budaj has played absolutely amazing as of late. However, our offense has not. Hopefully the injuries last night to Foote and Wolski aren't serious

Does anyone know if Wolski is playing tonight?

From the website.....

- Is out indefinitely (head). Suffered the injury on Nov. 22 at Los Angeles.


Hope it isn't too serious.

Thanks

Stastny out with broken arm

Forsberg retirement tonight in Colorado?

As great as he was, I wouldn't mind seeing him hang them up for good. He'll never be able to put in a solid season.

Edit: And TSN says this is untrue.

1) Yeah, seems untrue as your link leads to nothing but that would have been AWESOME since i'm going to the game

2) Last place, w00t

3) I like the trade we made. Leopold was a solid Dman who has not missed a game this season, but I think this Wilson kid could end up being a pretty nice addition to the team. And if Leopold had to go anywhere, its nice to see him go back to Calgary. I never like seeing any player play for a bunch of teams in his career cause he just keeps getting trading.

4) I hope we make another trade. Fans obv won't like this since the Avs were one of the top NHL teams every untill after the lockout, at which point we were still a playoff contender, untill now. We ARE in a re-building stage, it WILL take time. I really hate fans who don't care for a team like the Avs now, but in 5-7 years if they make a deep Cup run, those same fans will be back in the seats saying 'I believed in them the whole time' ....****ers.

/rant

p.s. I am the only person on this forum who is glad you bumped this ....You pissed off everyone else though.

Go Avs, sweep the Wings one time kplzthxbye

so far not..he has looked amazing..

sorry i had to bump this again...I make constant bad predictions, but so far this is the worst ever.



The Colorado Avalanche are looking amazing. Winning games they shouldnt based on hard work and amazing goaltending. Everyone picked this team to miss the playoffs.

Just amazing run...

I figure this thread deserves to be brought back to life. I've been following the Avs most of the year because of Duchene, and now another reason to back them; Brian Fahey has been called up for Tuesday game. He went to my high school, a couple years behind me. Go Avs!

The subtitle for this thread is awesome. I remember why I changed it.

As a Wings fan this should not happen but I as well have been watching them a lot this year and they are very fun to watch and I will root for them as long as they don't play Detroit. If I posted this on facebook it would piss a lot of people off who are in Dtown since this for some reason is still considered our biggest rival but that era is long gone. Chicago should be the biggest rival imo and pretty much has been for a loooong time.

If it makes you feel any better about your friends holding onto the revelry, we still hate on the Red Wings and your teams low octane, low scoring, boring, trappy, trying to kill the excitement of hockey style of play at every opportunity.

You don't watch much Wings games then huh?

We haven't been trappy in like 10 years.

Low octane? Datsyuk, Zetterberg, Fillpula?

Boring? Well yes it would be boring when you team is running around trying to chase the puck around.

Low scoring? Well this year yes, but I bet we scored a 100 more goals than Colorado last year. I can't speculate on previous years.

That is it. Rivalry is back ON!

lol

ROFL.

I swear I almost made another thread this year. Wish I would have.

Yea, I saw FOUR Wings games this year!

So I had to make some shit up and try to stir the rivalry pot without any real knowledge.

The guy on the left (probably the girls older brother) laughing at Duchene ads a whole other level to the picture.

Hockey guys get the best chicks.

same thing

pedo

Justin Bieber though

HAI!!!!!

christ...

effin Coyotes

The Avs' defense is so atrocious it's not even funny.

they score some points though

and special teams

and 4 on 4

and long home stands

and making the decision to keep your first net minder in goal for inter-conference games at home

and staying healthy


etc........

When is Chris Stewart coming back, i really need him in my pool?

The Avs have one of the largest man-games lost to injury on the books this season.




Stewart is practicing with the team but I don't know if he's traveling on the current two game road stretch. I hear he should be back soon but I have no idea what that means.

It's kind of annoying how hockey teams seem to keep injuries super hush hush.

We have a defensive player Kyle Cumiskey , my favorite player from last season, who's been out for the majority of the season with a 'concussion'. No word on his return either.

Thanks for the Stewart update, well at least you know Cumiskey is out with a concussion and not an upper body injury.

Its really unique to the NHL..in the NFL every injured players bowel movement is documented in reports.

If people gambled on hockey like they do on football then there would be more injury news.

The Avs are a good road team Davey, gl tonight.

I shall enjoy this game very much. I have grown to like some Avs players due to fantasy hockey.

Stewart is on the trip. Cumiskey is too.

Maybe the rest of the team can show up next game....
