Avalanche is lowest-paid team in NHL
Each morning, I give thanks to many things: that I have a healthy kid, most of my hair is there and that I underwent hypnosis to erase all memory of listening to the band Asia. And, for the good people at Capgeek.com for introducing themselves to the world.
These people are great. You’re a math-challenged sports writer covering a sport with a salary cap just a few years old...

Bourne Blog: Rediscovering hockey love at its purest
This morning I find myself lucky enough to be on a flight to Minnesota -- not a sentence normally typed by someone leaving Phoenix in March, but my excitement comes with just cause.
I'm about to soak in Minnesota's High School Hockey State Tournament in St. Paul at the Xcel Energy Center. And that folks, is the breeding ground for hockey love at its purest.
My freshman year...

Avs sneak over the salary cap floor
According to our geeky friends at capgeek.com, the Avalanche is now officially over the NHL’s salary cap floor of $43.4 million.
While they aren’t infallible (they didn’t have Mark Olver and his salary on the books when I checked Sunday night), even without his minimum-wage deal, the Avs had a cap-averaged payroll right now of $44,071,066.
One of the things a lot...

NHL Puck Ditties, Sept. 20
The Denver Post, John Leyba
A few notes from around the league, to get the week started:
Our old friend, Chris Drury, is out for a few weeks already with the Rangers. Age is creeping up to “Dru”, a gamer to end all gamers. Let’s face it, things haven’t really worked out too well for him with the Rangers since signing that huge contract. They went fairly deep...

Preissing in, and why Sacco calls tonight a “must win”
Tom Preissing, who tied Nick Lidstrom for the NHL’s plus-minus award (+40) in 2006-07, will indeed make his Avalanche debut tonight against the Canucks at the Can.
I believe Ryan Wilson will be the guy who sits because of his return, but am not positive. I had an article on Preissing in today’s paper.

Hejduk back tomorrow
Milan Hejduk skated today on a line with Duchene and, barring any setbacks to his back overnight, will return to the lineup against the Canucks in a game Joe Sacco called a “must win.”
Tom Preissing also may make his season debut, but Sacco said he’s still deciding on that.
Galiardi also is well ahead of schedule, [...]

BT's 2009-10 NHL Season Preview: Colorado Avalanche
As we work our way out of the Southeast division and across the NHL to the Northwest, we get to a team who was once ranked among the NHL's elite.
Some injury-ravaged key players, free agency and a starting goalie void that's been growing larger ever since Patrick Roy's retirement, the Colorado Avalanche have fallen on hard times as of late.
With their recent draft standing...

Kings Have Another Boring Off Season
The Kings off-season has been b.o.r.i.n.g. Thankfully it coincided with my hectic personal summer so I feel like the off-season has been flying by without feeling like I've been missing out on all the fun. The NHL Entry Draft came and went without much fanfare. The Kings did not hold a Draft party this season for season ticket holders something I attribute to the crappy economy...

Weekend Quick-hitters
I furrowed my brow yesterday, and asked myself "how can I churn out a blog in an even faster, lazier way?"

Simmons makes a living writing quick half-baked mini-thoughts that are published across Sun Media...
