Same As It Ever Was

Hey. Hockey's back and the Avs stink. Hmm. It's like the lock-out never even happened!

Looked like the Avalanche played on rental skates
during the 2nd period last night.
The Avs started off like gang-busters versus the Wild Saturday night. They led 1-0 after the 1st, it should have been 2-0 or 3-0, but when you don't bury your chances bad things are usually on the horizon. The 2nd period was that horizon. Steve Downie took 3 terrible penalties in the first six and half minutes, Minnesota converted with two power play goals, and that was that. Colorado loses 4-2.

Steve Downie going in for an another
cross check!
On a positive note, Watched Slap Shot during and after the Avs game. Better hockey, MUCH better announcers (McNab and Haynes seem like good guys but it's embarrassing for two professionals to shill that much. Zero honesty. Screw Kroenke Sports. You guys suck.) and far more entertaining than anything the NHL has to offer.

Who own the Chiefs?
Might be a long year for the Avalanche. Sign Ryan O'Reilly, play smart and bury your chances. 47 more to go with the Cup Champion Kings coming into town tomorrow. If you want to see NHL hockey, but on the cheap, wait to go see the Avs play Columbus on Thursday night. Tickets start at only $4 on Stubhub. Bargain!
