Recap: Avalance 2, Calgary 0
In The Cheap Seats —
Thanks, Dion. The Colorado Avalanche needed a wakeup call to rouse them from their late-season slumber. Dion Phaneuf was the perfect alarm clock. The game began with Phaneuf echoing the technique used by the Minnesota Wild defensemen last Monday - mug Peter Forsberg. Forsberg endured several hard hits from Phaneuf in the early going and it seemed like it was going to be a long, painful night. Against the Wild, our tough guys stood and watched while Forsberg was hammered. This time, someone had his back: Ian Laperriere. Lappy didn’t stand idly by in this game. He went after both Phaneuf and Jarome Iginla in the first period, chipping at Iginla as he was going off ...

calsun.canoe.ca 3/25/2008 — DENVER -- Sometimes, it's better to see a volcano erupt rather than just keep building up steam. With no explosion of emotions, chippiness turned to a lack of discipline, and the Calgary Flames handed the momentum to the home team. Desperate to ...
Phaneuf Is A Punk
kuklaskorner.com 3/25/2008 — from Adrian Dater of All Things Avs, Phaneuf is a punk, by the way. And some day he’s going to get his, and it’s not going to be pretty for him. He’s going to hit one backside of a player too many, and somebody is going to rip that ...

Last night's game against the Flames was pretty good. It was a solid, team effort that resulted in a win, and further, a shutout for Jose Theodore. But it wasn't enough. I'm an optimist, I'd like to think we can win most of the 82 games we play during ...
