Made me laugh, thought I'd share it with you guys.
So this afternoon I went downtown to the Can to do some birthday shopping for a friend of mine. I went into Altitude Authentics and it's ridiculous... The workers were in the process of removing...
There's something going around HF Boards about an altercation that occurred in the dressing room after last night's game between Sylvain Lefebvre and Shane O'Brien. Also, somebody mentioned...
Good news on the goaltending front. Hopefully.
Via the Avs Facebook page. Just a heads up for anybody interested. I might go myself...
I'm kinda annoyed. But other than that, I'm excited for the competition. Duchene is gonna do the fastest skater contest, and everybody will participate in the Skills Challenge Relay and Elimination Shootout.
I was thinking earlier about what Andy has changed since last season. One thing that I realized nobody has been talking about is his gear.
Apparently they aren't too impressed with Dater's blog post
This pretty much sums up the Avalanche this year. Note the splint on CGDS' hand and the sling on Quincey's arm.
OK, so I was looking for a video of the injury to Winnik because I missed the first 10 minutes or so of that game. I accidentally stumbled across this and couldn't resist posting it. Also, I still can't find the video of the injury. Anybody have a link?
He even beat out Sidney Crosby's hat trick (not something that would have happened if the NHL was selecting the stars).
Hishon, Pickard, and Tyson Barrie have been invited to the selection camp. Michael Bournival, the player sent to Montreal for O'Byrne a couple weeks ago, was also invited.
Chris Goddamn Stewart is over in Toronto supporting the Rapids. Of course, he was the only one badass enough to sit outside in Canada in November.
Chris Goddamn Stewart is there to support the Rapids on his day off. UZ will appreciate this.
They don't like that we give grief to Rusty, apparently. Also, I'm gonna be posting in their game thread tonight because that's the only game in the league and it's on national TV, so if anybody wants to join me it's always fun to mess with them.
This is about a week old, but I couldn't resist sharing because of the last line: "December, 1995 - In a strong statement that still resonates to this day, the Montreal Canadiens make it clear to Patrick Roy that the franchise will simply not tolerate championship-calibre goaltending."
This was posted on the MHH facebook page but somehow didn't find it's way to the actual site, so I thought I'd share.
Apparently, the Bruins have scheduled to wear their third jerseys, which are black, in their road game against the Avs on Jan. 22nd. You know what that means: we'll see the Avs in white at home. Fitting counter to these last 2 games.
Looks like the thirds will make their first appearance of the season this Saturday.
So these are the auctions for the jerseys worn in the oepning night ceremony. What I want you to look at is the prices. First up is Uwe Krupp. His jersey currently is tied for the lowest price there...not something I would expect for the guy who scored the GWG. Also, Goose's jersey looks to be going pretty low. And on the other end of the spectrum, Claude Lemieux, of all people, is currently getting the highest price. More than Roy or Forsberg.
I posted this in a comment but got no replies, and I really am wondering what the deal is with Schroder. He hasn't been at either of the last two home games and this replacement anthem signer is...
Hmmm. I thought caption threads were OUR deal.
Does anybody else remember Patrick Roy Night? Roy's number was raised to the rafters, and Aebischer got a 5-0 shutout in his first game as a starter. Towards the end of the game, everybody was...
For all the folks who didn't have the Altitude feed tonight, I wouldn't want you to miss out on this great new commercial we were raving about all game. It's great, it really is. (snicker)
So tonight I was bored and visited SCH's game thread for the tail end of the Hawks vs. Preds game. Everything was fine for quite a while, and people were kind of getting a kick out of a non-troll...
I'm going to make some concept jerseys for MHH in honor of the upcoming game against the Avalanche Guild (not that these jerseys are going to be made- don't get your hopes up). I'm going to use the...
Damn, the "still uses a wood stick" thing was my favorite bragging point on Stastny
