Blues need to improve their checking to halt two-game slide
Colorado Avalanche coach Patrick Roy is excited that his No. 1 goalie appears set to return.
There's a chance Tuesday night's opponent could start the only goalie in NHL history with more wins than Roy.
Semyon Varlamov is likely to return from a six-game absence for the Avalanche when they host a St. Louis Blues team that has the option of giving Martin Brodeur the start.
Varlamov...

Colorado Avalanche: Rise of Calvin Pickard
No matter who you spoke to before the season about the Colorado Avalanche, the consensus was that in order for them to have any chance of repeating as Central Division champions, they were going to have to have Semyon Varlamov stand on his head between the pipes for around 60 games.

What the Hell Happened: The more Mumps they come across, the more wins they see
Marc-Andre Fleury didn’t have the Mumps. But he ended up making the AVs sicks.
Fleury and Colorado goaltender Calvin Pickard, who sounds like the name of a marginal villian in a Jean Claude Van Damme movie, battled to a 0-0 tie in regulation. In a game that featured a ton of action for a scoreless affair, the Penguins mostly dominated. But Pickard played out of his mind, and kept...

Thinking Of Adding Captain Calvin Pickard? Make It So!
Before the season started I cautioned against drafting Semyon Varlamov expecting a repeat of last season and sure enough he sucked up the joint hard to start the year then hit IR with a bum groin. He came back, sucked it up so more and then exited once more with the same injury. Again he returned and again he sucked and yet again he re-injured the same groin and is now down for “a...
