In a surprise move, Per Ledin didn't make
the cut and has been sent down to Lake
Erie along with TJ Hensick . So the Avalanche 2008/09 opening night roster is official . As much as I'd like Hensick to stay, it would mean bumping Arnason out of the ...
Brian Willsie has been sent down to the AHL, much to AD's surprise . Based on everything I'd heard, I'm a bit surprised as well. He seemed like he could fill many roles on the team. Giving him a role on the team would most likely have eaten into Per Ledin's ice time and the Avs likely want to ...

Last night I was busy watching the Riders finally snap out of a funk as they downed the evil Calgary Stampeders. Yep, I even hate Calgary's football team. At one point, my friend Patrick piped up and said "Colorado's getting killed 7-4 by the Hawks!" He was smart enough to be checking out the ...

I live in Canada. Land of the free. Home of the brave. Wait, that's not us. We're still free but we shun the "brave" tag for "strong". We're strong, have glowing hearts, get lots of massages and more importantly, we can legally gamble online. Why, I remember when frankfurters only cost a ...

David Jones tallied the winning goal against the
Stars tonight as the Avalanche's preseason schedule kept rolling.
It was Jones' preseason debut and if he keeps this pace up, he'll be winning the Art Ross trophy. You heard it here first. Marek ...

It's time! The 2nd annual Avalanche blogger roundtable
starts today with a question on rivalries. There's a
lot to read so let's get right into it. Question: Who will be the Avalanche's biggest rival this season? Jay Vean - Avs Hockey Podcast ...
When I saw the headline, I thought it was a joke. When I saw the photo accompanying the story, I thought "Look at them laughing at their joke." But then I read the article and it didn't end with "Just kidding." Yes, the Vancouver Canucks have apparently named Robert Luongo as their captain . ...

(Yahoo! Sports) The new Team Ranker up on Yahoo! Sports is a great idea. It's also a great was to waste away your morning. It pits two teams against each other and asks you a simple question: "Which team is better?" After you make a choice, you get to see the overall results from that ...

A Darren Dreger blog post was how I found out former Avs coach Joel Quenneville had been hired as a scout for the Chicago Blackhawks . It took a while for coach Q to find a new home even though there was a decent amount of turnover in the coaching roles. Although the media praised him as a Jack ...

By gum, I think the NHL has started
to realize that increasing the reach of your product
and getting people engaged in it is the best way to attract and retain fans. The concept had completely escaped them for quite some time and it appears they ...

The preseason is here and the regular season
is now closer than ever! Obviously. I'd have a
bit more to say on this game than what is below, but I was busy working on a large, non-Avalanche related post which will go up around noon tomorrow. Result ...
NHL.com has an article up on the ceding of power from Jose Theodore to Peter Budaj in the Avalanche net this year. I did a double-take when I got to this line: "We've been grooming him for this day," said Avalanche coach Tony Granato, now in his second stint in charge of the team. I read it as: ...

In an unexpected twist, Team White trounced Team Burgundy in the Avalanche's annual Burgundy/White game. Team Burgundy essentially had the Avs entire 07/08 defensive squad on its side plus incumbent #1 Peter Budaj plus Joe Sakic yet they still got lit up for 9 goals. And they couldn't put a ...

The Colorado Avalanche's annual Burgundy/White game happens tonight at the Air Force Academy . The official game roster is up and I'm baffled that on a roster of 42 players not one of them wears #7. And don't worry, Marek Svatos, Paul Stastny and Wojtek Wolski are being held out for ...

I just finished a 3-hour long live draft and I think this is the stiffest my back has been in a while. I'll give a breakdown of my team but first, some early-breaking news from Adrian Dater: Joel Quenneville has just been arrested on suspicion of DUI . Initially, I was going to make a few silly ...

I signed up to be in a fantasy hockey draft this year run by James Mirtle. I'm not a big fantasy nut but I figured it would be a good way to get me to concentrate on the statistics side of the game. So I'm busy ranking players on Yahoo! along with my fresh new copy of The Hockey News Ultimate ...

My heart skipped a beat at Jori's last twit : "Blue wins 3-2, but Stastny was injured" I asked her just how injured she thought he was and she thought it could be quite serious. Now Dater has a blog post up mentioning Stastny left the ice with a sagging shoulder , clearly in pain after a ...
