In the want to category, Theodore wants to come back to the Avalanche. From the Rocky Mountain News:
Jose Theodore wants to [...]

Hey, how about this:
“This team that everyone said wouldn’t go anywhere made it to the second round of the playoffs and I think we should be really proud of them,” said one woman.
“I’m feeling pretty bad, pretty disappointed. But next year … we’re gonna get our cup!” said another fan.

Now that the Avalanche have ended their season so unceremoniously, what now?

The Colorado Mammoth of the NLL (National Lacrosse League) start the playoffs Saturday against the Calgary Roughnecks. It’s not hockey, but I like it.
Let’s Go, Eagles:
The Colorado Eagles are already in their playoff series, against the Arizona Sundogs in the [...]

At two points in the game, the Avs had a chance to pull ahead and survive for one more day. Those were before either team scored, and when Tyler Arnason (playoff hero? please) made the game 1-1. Aside from that, you can see what happened.
And it pains me to put that up.
Remember what [...]

In the “Oh, Ya Think?” category, we get this info from the Rocky Mountain News:
Forwards Peter Forsberg and Ryan Smyth will not play tonight when the Avalanche tries to avoid being swept by the Detroit Red Wings in Game 4 of the teams’ Western Conference semifinal series at the Pepsi Center.
Not really surprising, but this, [...]

Stastny will miss the rest of the series and possibly beyond with a knee injury suffered in the first period of Game [...]

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 [...]
