I’m in at work all day today, 8:00 AM to 11:00 PM, and while I’m hopping mad, I just don’t have the time right now. I will post something about the debacle later. For now, Here is a pretty picture, that sums up how I feel.
Yeah, that about covers it. God, I [...]

With an 8:00 AM call, and two shows tomorrow, I have to go to bed right now. That doesn’t leave me much time to talk about the game, but let it be known that I am not happy. At all.
But the Avs are now down 3 games to none, and there [...]

The Detroit News is reporting that Ryan Smyth is out for game 3:
Down 2-0 in the best-of-seven to the Wings in the Western Conference semifinals, the Avalanche took another hit Tuesday when forward Ryan Smyth (foot) was scratched for tonight’s Game 3.

Perhaps there is something deft in Joel Quenneville’s statement to the media that Jose Theodore is going to get the start for game 3 of the Avalanche – Red Wings series.

There is this guy at work named Chris, a transplant to Atlantastan from San Jose. And believe it or not, he is a Sharks fan. Not one of those blaze johnny-come-lately fan, but a fan of the team, and a fan of the game. It’s fun, because we can look at the [...]

An unusually early day at work today is going to limit me to this very brief preview. Theodore may get the start, and hopefully be feeling better. Anyone who doesn’t think the Wings are going to learn from the last two periods of game one is fooling themselves. Both teams are going [...]

It was a sign of things to come when Dominik Hasek, the Dominator, was pulled from play in the Nashville series, and Chris Osgood was put in his place. The sign, though, was not for the Wings, but for the Avs. It was a sign of things to come.
Last night, Jose Theodore, who [...]

Game one is over, and now that it is 1:04 AM in Atlantastan, I am now caught up with the rest of the world. By now, everyone knows that the Avalanche lost game one to Detroit, in Detroit, 4-3. But even with a loss, I was smiling like a cat afterwards. I’ll [...]

Thanks to Michigan being in the Eastern time zone, and thanks to a job that starts at 6:30 PM, and a game that starts at 7:30 PM, I am under a self-imposed blackout for the game tonight, to be viewed at 11:30 PM after I get home. No blog, no email, no internet. [...]

It’s the second round of the playoffs, and there are some newly disappointed fans who need to take the pain away / have a reason to live / keep on watching hockey. A few days back, I put out the invite for hockey fans to come along and root for the Colorado Avalanche for [...]
