I hope the Avs get caught in an avalanche and cant play the rest of the season. I dislike them almost as much as the Raiders!

Red Wings FTC (for the cup) 

Doesn't Florida have a NHL team?

Not that I would care since I live in Florida.

The closest I have ever come to ice skating is rollerblades.

I agree...

  Spent the weekend in the field with my platoon, come home to see two losses in a row for the Red Wings.  Finally get to watch my first game this season on Thursday, can't wait!!!!!

Minnesota had a helluva come-back tonight    Thank you LA Kings for taking out the Sharks 

Whew, Wings got their win, watching the Sharks play the BJ's now, pretty violent game, two fights in a row sofar, the second one was AWESOME!!  The ref's actually let them duke it out, fairly uncommon for San Jose.

I would also like to welcome Brad May to the Red Wings, I think he will be turning out quite a few fights for us this season hehehe 

Close game in Detroit right now, turn it on if you get a chance!

The Franz is out for 4 months due to a torn ACL courtesy of Chicago    His replacement is doing fine though, so far he has scored the only goal against Washington this game... 1-1 after the first period.

Well I was wrong the Wings ended up pulling it out. Watched the first, and third period of the Avs game. A somewhat stressful game to watch, Patrick Kane was just flying by the Avs defense all night which was worrying me. In Overtime both the Avs and Blackhawks only got 1 shot off.

Ended in a 9 round shootout with the Avs lossing. 
On the bright side we get a point for going into overtime.
Avs (2-1-1)

Avalanche v.s. Bruins


Looking at the standings...
The Avalanche are in 2nd place in the Northwest
The Red Wings are in last place in the Central  tied with 2 other teams! 
Rangers are tied for first
Sabres are in second


Looking good for everyone but truck. 

  We prefer to climb the ladder and work for the cup, keeps our fans interested

...im not sure how that is coming along! 

Well the Avs of course killed the Maple Leafs 4-1. 
Moving the Avs record to 4-1-1. Thankfully Calgary lost today (by the blue jackets  )moving Colorado into a tie fisrt. 

The wings got MURDERED by the Sabres. Im feeling very confident when the Avs play them that they will win. 

Avalanche v.s. Montreal on Thursday but we should win with Montreal being 2-3.

Ill be bored to death to see either the Red Wings or the Penquins in the Stanley Cup AGAIN. And I dought it will happen...although the Wings team is very old. In 5 years from now I can see them not doing so well because there big stars are reaching retirement which is why they should start the process of younger players.

Youngest team in the NHL right now is the Blackhawks and they are good so they will be the team to beat for the next 5 years at this rate! 

BigTruck wrote on Oct 14^th, 2009 at 7:55pm:

True, it is to soon to say whos going to make the playoffs or not. Im happy with how the Avalanche team has started and hopefully this will continue we are scoring a very good amount of goals everygame and keeping goals from going in our net. The defense just allows to many shots on net which isnt good.

I hope the Avalanche can get 2nd in their division and a playoff spot. 

Also the young star Matt Duchene is still goal-less  , im hoping he can score tommrow he's got some great moves for an 18 year old I see him doing very well in the future on the Avs

BigTruck wrote on Oct 14^th, 2009 at 9:57pm:

Yeah true, its pretty amazing that he's 18 playing on line 2  . I dont think we will be seeing any Crosby's or Ovechkins anytime soon it seems like they were the best rookies ive ever seen.

OK. As long as the Red Wings play at home, we will win the Stanley Cup. I need to befriend the CEO of the NHL here on facebook and talk to him about maybe changing the schedule up a bit, say all Red Wings games are played in Detroit. I'll hoo...k him up with some cool stuff from Mafia Wars and Farmville...I think this will work....5-2 tonight against the Kings, and congrats to Lidstrom on his 1,000th point!!!!

I'll be on my toes, but keep in mind, they're playing at the joe I've got high hopes 

Im happy to read that ESPN has figured out that this is a new team this year for the Avs.

Fair Fair

Well hopefully ill be home in time to watch my team just got an extra ice slot so ill have to hurry home. Ill be wearing my Avalanche socks on the ice tonight for my Avs 

BigTruck wrote on Oct 17^th, 2009 at 9:49pm:

DAmn it must have been 7ET.  Well the Avalanche won!  Even with a close game like that we still get the win. Saw the highlights and the Avs really did comeback and the Wings really did blow it. Cant blame the loss on your missing players  I mean last year we lost some valuable players due to injuries and ended up last and now the media doesnt even know who the Avs are just because of LAST year. The Avalanche GM was walking by when half the media was taking pictures the other half asked who is he? 

Duchene good first goal, actually really good from a hard place to score. Craig Anderson pulled some AMAZING saves but most of the amazing saves have to go to Osgood as he robbed us quite a few times. We play the Red Wings next week in Colorado I believe and im more confident then I was  .

Avalanche 6-1-1, 2nd in the NHL

New ESPN Rankings out...

http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/powerranking
I love who does these rankings because they seem to not have a clue about hockey. Check out week 1 rankings  Avalanche were #30 I think they rank by records

Rangers got CRUSHED by the Sharks and I placed some bets with friends. 

BigTruck wrote on Oct 20^th, 2009 at 2:03am:

Our last road game from out 7 or 8 game road trip ends tommrow in Minnesota which should be an easy win!  Then we play the Wings again in Colorado! 

tcco94 wrote on Oct 20^th, 2009 at 10:24am:


Ummm...hehe...ummm...like I said before, it's too early to establish where the teams are going to go yet.  Wings can smack the Wild up and lose to the Av's, then the Av's lose to the Wild. 

Plus their win against the Wings was a shoot out.  Might be a bit early for them power rankings 

Phoenix should NOT have been awarded that 2nd goal.  Ozzy got pushed in with the puck.  Yeah we got a point out of the game for holding a tie, but they would not have won if the officials were paying attention, even the sports announcers saw it.

We are not getting a good start this year, in all aspects    We can't even catch a break with the ref's.

Oops got it wrong the game was today.  Well Avalanche won 5-4 against Carolina. Kinda mad about letting Carolina score 4 goals but we get another win taking a alone second place  .

Also moving our record to 7-1-2 with a 3-0 home record now that our away skid is over  . Although im not sure that Colorado will be able to take first place because Pittsburgh is just KILLING everyone!!  9-1! Oh my!

Yeah I got something to say but it's not allowed here in our forums...so congrats on your team, they look solid this year...

Wow the NHL has had an aggressive week. Avs Darcy Tucker gets smashed from behind by Ruutu and he gets suspended for 3 games and Ruutu did apologize just for how dirty his hit was but he said he wont change his style of play as an "aggressive" player.

The more surprising part is Mike Richards hit on David Booth has to be one of the most surprising hits that I still dont understand why he didnt get suspended. It almost looked like Richards was trying to smash off Booths head.

Both players had concussions not sure how bad Booth's is but Tucker was placed on IR today for a week I think.

The new rankings are out by "ESPN" the Worldwide leader in sports who claims to know hockey. Well they dropped the Avalanche down 2 spots (even though we claim a tie for first place right now) because the guy who writes these rankings doesn't like the fact that the Avalanche are so high in the Rankings. Its funny how people are so in denial just because of one season, I hear more people bash on the Avalanche more than the Rams!  And i'd love to bash on how bad the Rams are even though ima huge fan. I guess they will have to make the playoffs for someone to "believe" they are a decient team eh?

Now "ESPN" is questioning if this is the end for the Red Wings. I mean im telling you every day "ESPN" amazes me when it comes to hockey. Worldwide leader in sports 
Just watch sportscenter and see how much they talk about hockey. I think they should just give it up. Soon they will make an article about something ridiculous like Toronto never getting a win. 

BigTruck wrote on Oct 27^th, 2009 at 7:23pm:

Exactly why you shouldnt go to ESPN for hockey news.

It turned into 4-4 and then the Wings kicked it up to 5-4, and held them off for the last few minutes...had my heart rate up, but we managed to pull one off...

Avs-Flames tonight. Gunna be an awesome game. Im feeling really confident.

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

Luckkkky!  Try to get one of Duchene for me. #9

So I got called into work after the first period, needed to open the doors for the local Navy Surgeon.   Thanks squids.  Because you forgot your paperwork, I missed a helluva game.   

Yeah I got some pics, I'll post them a little later, I'm headed to the bar for a cold one 

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.

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.

tcco94 wrote on Nov 4^th, 2009 at 9:56pm:


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

  Where did Phoenix come from...they were the joke last year, then GRETZKY quits as coach, and all of a sudden they are a challenge to beat....hmmmm 

Go Maple Leafs!!!  (seriously...I feel bad for them, canada hockey team and they can't seem to win...I gotta give them some support, they're a classic team....as long as the Wings beat them of course)

Yeah. Man the Canes got smoked by the Flyers. Shoulda started Ward.

By the way, I am actually a Canucks fan, but I like the Wings too.

I watched that game on TV, was that you with no shirt and your face painted?     Awesome fight between Noll and Huskins too    I was a Jackets fan last night 

About to watch the Sharks play Wings...yes I am worried about this one given our history this year   

WebbPA wrote on Nov 5^th, 2009 at 8:48pm:


Dude, wrong thread...

I took a bet with the Wings today on streak for cash so I too was rooting for the Wings. I didnt see the Sharks winning 7 in a row and the Wings seem to be playing stronger and they won a close one against the Sharks.

Avs-Blackhawks tommrow in Colorado...

Still strong the only team still undefeated at home 5-0

BigTruck wrote on Nov 5^th, 2009 at 10:39pm:

The Avs were really slackers against the Sharks and Canucks but we fixed for Pheonix which was alot better. Even our coach said before we got shutout by Canucks how bad they were slacking against the Sharks and they lost that game so I knew he would take action to get them back into fast shape like usual. Last game had 29 shots which is good since we allow like twice as many as we shoot 

Not sure whos in net, Budaj was strong and good thing coming off the swine flu...but I think we will play Anderson, save Budaj for Edmonton next. Then back to playing the Blackhawks again.

Williams with the Wings broke both his tibula and fibula

Damn wings!  Make Steve Mason average 10.10 goals against!  The only thing that pisses me off is that he's on my fantasy team!

Rooting for the Maple Leafs tonight, need them to beat the Hawks...then we need to beat the Ducks tomorrow night to take 1st in our division...let's go Wings and Leafs!!!

Oh, and see how the Wings are climbing the ladder like I said a couple weeks ago, went from 27 to 11...we'll get there    (I hope)

Stupid Leafs, making it harder for my Wings....
