You’ve certainly spoken

A record number of comments to my question last night of “where were you?” to the Avs-Coyotes game. So, thanks for that. Lots of interesting responses. Money, of course, was a top reason listed as to why people aren’t showing up as much right now, and I can certainly...

Postgame Avs-Coyotes – where were you tonight?

(flickr.com) OK, first the caveats: 1. I know it’s still a bad economy. 2. I know it was a last-place team last year. 3. I know they probably aren’t as good as their record right now. 4. I know it was a Wednesday night in early November. 5. I know it was the Phoenix Coyotes...

Vancouver postcard

If all you want is pure Avs talk, skip this blog. But a few of you have asked what all the fuss is about with Vancouver, and here’s some of the reasons why. First up, some Beluga whales from a visit yesterday at the city’s famous Stanley Park – a wondrous place with a free [...]

Postgame Avs-Canucks, How do I get my two-and-a-half hours back edition?

There are times, like tonight, when it’ll hit me: I just sat through two and a half hours of utter nothingness. Actually, I think that quite a bit at times, even after the Avalanche wins a game. Ever think really, really hard sometimes about your devotion to sports? You’...

Anderson to start 15th straight against Canucks

Colorado_avalanche_v_0ce3
