Beat me to the thread start!     I had guard duty so I wasn't near a computer, but I did watch the Red Wings shut out the Ducks.  Was amazed to see Datsyuk get into a punch out, he's normally very cool headed.   

Avs lost to Philly last night. We let them shoot to much. Playing Red Wings today on Versus.

Were only 3 games in? 

Great game though, I think the Avs deserved that win. We were out playing you guys most of the game...but I felt like that was a boring shootout...

GO Avs!!!  (Hate the Avs, but hate the Sharks more)

Wings play Flames tonight, we're down 2-1 after the first period.

My only problem with that Avs-Sharks game was that at the last minute when the Sharks cleared the puck it went into there bench hit there player then went out and dropped straight into middle ice to a Sharks player who then just shot half ice and scored on the empty net and the refs called it a goal. The play was un reviewable which I understand but none of the refs saw that it went out of play then back into play just by hitting the Sharks player on the bench?

The only good thing that came out of that was John-Michael Liles got another assist making it 7 games with an assist or point, beating our franchise record.

Looks like we play the Kings tonight, ill be listening to this one on the radio, instead of going to homecoming. 

On ESPN? Serouisly 

Going to ESPN for anything related to hockey is like going to best buy for food. ESPN knows barely anything about hockey, and Barry Melrose...worst projections ive seen in my life. 

So yes to ESPN the top teams in the NHL are Red Wings...as they have been for about the last 5 years  Ever watched hockey on SportsCenter?


Avs lost Anderson in pregame last night...out indefiantly.... 

True, if anyone were to brag about what ESPN said about there hockey team ill just laugh 

Avs played a crazzy game against Calgary last night. Stewart got a hat trick, putting him 2nd in goal leaders. Liles still 1st in assists and tied NHL record with most assist streak since the start of the season but unfortunately that ended last night. On the other hand with our scoring good, our goalie...Peter Budaj...was not very good.

19SA-5 goals.....Please come back Anderson 

Finally Budaj steps up, almost got a shutout but 33 saves and 1 GA is good.

Avs-5
Blue Jackets-1

Still dominating right now with our goals...Avs are now currently in first in scoring tied with Chicago. Very happy to hear that but we take a little break until Thursday against Vancouver. Im hoping we can get some good news back about Anderson by Thurs. Im expecting and hoping it will only be a 2 week injury...or 3. 

Cant wait for the next Avs-Wings matchup, at the rate both teams are playing it should be a good one.

San Jose is starting to succeed again...unfortunately they actually found out that Niemi wasnt a good goalie and shouldnt be a starter... I was hoping they would leave him in net for half the year to find out there not in a playoff spot and figure out that he isnt what everyone thinks. 

Wings win another one tonight, they are off to a strong start this year, I hope this keeps up!

And the Wings will take another.

yer just saying that cuz you beat us in a shoot out haha

Wings delivered a healthy ass whoopin to Edmonton at the Joe tonight, happy night in the Truck residence.

10 wins, 3 losses, one shoot-out loss (damn you Avs)

Wings Vs Avs tonight 

Not surprised that they dominated offensively either. To many injures worry me that we dont have a good defense right now and with a backup goalie as our starter...I wasnt expecting to be beat a red hot Detroit team.

Dominated last night though 5-1 against Blue Jackets.


I didnt get to watch the game, as it wasnt televised for me. You have centerice or something?

BigTruck wrote on Nov 13^th, 2010 at 10:27pm:

1-1 this year with you 

tcco94 wrote on Nov 14^th, 2010 at 3:08am:


1-0-1 with you...remember we didn't lose to you, we just gave up an overtime loss.  We still got a point

Colorado defiantly dominated tonight. Foote and Wilson are back in the lineup and Anderson back at practice...all good signs.

Colorado is first in the Western Conference for goals for...showing how good these young guys can score and how good of an offense we have to produce. 3rd overall in the NHL for GF.

Colorado-6
St. Louis-3

Very very very good game to watch, and thankfully it was on Versus. Haven't watched a full Avs game in about a month...and another game to be televised for me on Wednesday against the Sharks. We gotta beat them this time, oh how much I hate San Jose. Hopefully Anderson will be in net, not sure yet tho. I know you hate SJ too, so GO AVS!

....Also as you know about my obsession with Duchene  , got to see his first NHL fight. Proud of him, pretty good fight for Duchene and for a first fight? Great job.

http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/blog/puck_daddy/post/Fight-Video-Witness-Matt-Duchen...

Wings delivered another butt kicking against St Louis tonight!  Need the Avs to win tonight, I hate the Sharks!   

BigTruck wrote on Nov 17^th, 2010 at 11:16pm:

St. Louis is easy 

Avs delivered a great finish game, and came back to beat the Sharks. I think teams underestimate our offense, seems the only team that has shut us down in awhile is your wings... Which you should be proud of considering that we are still 2nd in goals scored in the NHL, behind the Caps.

I'm starting to think the Avs are one of the best 3rd period teams in the NHL. They defiantly kick ass in 3rd periods and usually wake up late to games. Most 3rd periods we out shoot our opponents including that recent game against Detroit. 

Thankfully I was the one who could talk smack at school today

BigTruck wrote on Nov 18^th, 2010 at 10:55pm:

Well just saying, we've got a good offense going right now, and most likely for a team that is leading the western conference in goals will have a winning record, which we do. Does it make us the best team? Defiantly not, Vancouver, Wings, and Kings are all better than the Avs in my mind right now.

Wings were down 2-0 near the end of 2nd, then scored one.  3rd period they score two more and take the lead, then Min scores one and takes us to overtime, we dominate overtime, barely miss 7 goals, then Min does a line change and scores with 45 secs left...dammit.  We still got our point though, still in first haha.

Come join us! Were the only ones in here  Avs looking good with Anderson  Bettter watch out, we just took a tie with Vancouver for first place (in our division of course)

Offense is STILL impressing me  Duchene 3 point night..which defiantly made it even better.

Avs-5
Rangers-1

Budaj will take the net tomorrow night against Dallas. Avs are probably on the plane to Dallas as we speak.

DAMN wings..I dont want to see Minnesota or Vancouver winning...

Just realized the only two people on here who talk hockey with me like the two teams ill hate the most this year. Detroit (obviously) and Vancouver (because they will be hard to beat in the division)....its a very good thing we don't have Sharks fans here...I might use to profanity.   

Just think, when the Wings win the Stanley Cup, we're going to go back to page one of this thread and read all the way through the season, all the memories we are posting   

Kevin Porter...ever heard of him? Got him from Phoenix last year along with the Mueller and Wolski trade. Well he's got the Avalanche the last 3 game winners. Avs continue to win with a 4 game win streak as we beat Dallas in Shootout thanks to Porter. Although it wont count as a goal he's had the last 3 game winners. Budaj played a good game, lots of great saves in the highlight reel. I didn't get to listen or watch this game as my ice hockey preseason started tonight.

We blew a 3-0 lead which wasn't very good. Unlike the last few games, we started really good in this game then fell apart as it went on. I like Budaj in net, but feel MUCH more comfortable with Anderson in net. Avs just took solid first place of the Northwest Conference...20 games 25 points...4 game win streak.

I'm having a fun time watching my Avs. 

BigTruck wrote on Nov 21^st, 2010 at 4:01am:

Wow I cant believe I said Conference.  You know what I meant. Maybe I shouldn't be posting after my hockey games late at night anymore 

Cant even think straight.

So surprising how the Wings with as old of a team as they have at how good they are.

BigTruck wrote on Nov 21^st, 2010 at 8:24pm:


Very true, lots of veterans who have good experience in winning a cup too....

  Agreed

Good article.

So did we. Anderson and Foote injured AGAIN! 

Also a crap 4th goal by Vancouver last night as Budaj got hit it the mask with a stick as one of the players was trying to hit the puck out of the air. In the goal review they couldn't call it a penalty because there was no penalty on the ice before the goal and there was no blood (because he has a goalie mask) so it was a good goal. Not like it would've made us win but it would a changed a lot and who knows what would've happen.

Canucks win 4-2.

Avs go to Edmonton tonight. There can't be any excuses as to why we shouldn't beat this team.

All part of being an Avs fan man.   

No worries, back in first place in Northwest after a real good domination.

Avs beat Wild 7-4.

Anderson placed on IR though.

Wish I lived in Colorado.

Avs have a cyber monday deal--5 tickets and a signed puck by either Duchene, Liles, or Stewart for $85....

But that might be because we get no fans for some reason. Last year when we were 1st place in the NHL we had under 10,000 fans at one game.

Avs play the Thrashers tomorrow at home. Stewart out with a broken hand for fighting. 


But on the bright side, I did get NHL 11 on bestbuy.com for $35! 

Thankfully ive already been playing it for a little while because my step brother has it. But had no access to anything online because you have to have the pass. So im really excited about the online! but nothing new with the game features, ive been playing it for 2 months.

Red Wings and Sharks morning ice cancelled. Some worried about the ice conditions...

http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=544960&cmpid=rss-News%20in%20English

Avs have had 2 trades in 2 days.
Got rid of AHL defensemen: Colby Cohen
For Boston's defensemen: Matt Hunwick

Avs trade today, the team is more excited about...although I have 2 different thoughts about...
Avs trade: Scott Hannan
Avs get Washington's: Tomas Fleischmann

Apparently we've had alot of defensemen and everyone knew a trade was coming. I liked Hannan, although he doesnt really do us any good with getting any points. Last 2 years under 20 points so it wouldn't effect us much, but he's a good defensive defensemen. As for getting Tomas Fleischmann, I think it'll be a good fit with our team. Not doing great with Washington but getting 51 points in 68 games last year, and going to a team that is 1st in the NHL for average goals a game might help. I guess Washington has tried to put him at Center this year which is why he isnt playing as good, hopefully he'll be put at LW.

As for tonights games, Hunwick will start and Fleischmann will not but he will be there watching. He had some travel delays and they dont want him to be playing from all the traveling and arriving late.

Avs vs. Thrashers tonight. Budaj in net, still no Anderson.

Oh and for Stewart...bad news, he'll be back 4-6 weeks from his broken hand. 

Thank you so much.

The Flyers just won...again. Enough said.

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. 

BigTruck wrote on Dec 6^th, 2010 at 1:37am:

Yeah cant argue about that. 

Almost got the Cali sweep. 

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..."

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 ;


http://blogs.denverpost.com/avs/2010/12/15/more-bang-bang-dance/5386/#more-5386

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 

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.

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. 

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.   

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

Hey guys... how bout them Nucks! #1!

And theres no way of getting around them 

Canucks and Avs tied 3-3 after 2... tight game!

The flyers did well today and Bob would have had a shutout if it weren't for Coburn frakking it up at an inopportune time.

Flyers in first place with 69 points.
