...and because I lost that bet.... Seriously though, shades of Down Goes Brown. Funny, funny stuff Jibs!

since this summer and seeing all that he's done on - and more importantly off the ice, here's one Avalanche fan hoping ole Jose gets the Masterton and, if we're not still in it by then, his name on the Cup.

I've posted on this before and maybe Terry Frei & I are just the victims of our own fevered imaginations, but I think that this could be great! What you you think?

Next year: Foppa - SoS - Stewie Baron - Dutchy - Duke Yipper - Radar - Dr. Jones Highlander - Hendricks - Durno Stoa Mercier Dare we dream????

No, really!

This just makes me smile.

Per Terry Frei

Is this a chance for Marek to get some top 2 lines winger time and for us to get pick(s) and/or prospect(s)?

Thanks to Mirtle for the heads up. I do find the initial parts of hawks61's commentary to be disturbingly similar to concerns expressed here re: shots and overworked keepers.

I've noted on a few sites that Brandon Yip is on the IR for COL (per NHL.com) and out indefinitely, status unknown. I can't find anything else. Anybody know what's going on?

Hopefully this takes the Duke off the trade table!

I like the video touch.

NHL.com's obligatory write up on the Unmitigated Disaster (c)

Something tells me that the (self) righteous indignation with which their identical prediction last year was met, might be, well, blunted this year....

Which begs the question, were we gonna get a goalie coach or is Biller just gonna moonlight???

Sorry, couldn't resist that one! Not we are in particularly dire need of another RW (or are we? Trades afoot?).

The most superest part of all is that we are trading one of our 2nd round draft picks for one of our 7th round picks!!! We is real smart!!!!

...though you might have to live in Manitoba to do so....
