I don’t care what anybody says – and that’s more than a few anybodies, if my inbox is to be believed: I love ‘em. I absolutely love the Avs’ new third jerseys. I would wear one in a heartbeat, if being seen in one might...

Now that’s a national anthem.
A lot of you may have heard about the stirring anthem to Chicago Blackhawks games – a tradition that got started somehow in a playoff series against Edmonton in the 1980s – but never experienced it. Click on the video above, and you...

Interesting little talk with Duchene this morning in Chicago, where he talks about his mini-slump and the overall play of the team as he gets ready to face the Hawks in a couple hours.

No hejduk at the morning skate here in chicago. Presumably that means he’s out tonight. Dave Bolland out 3-4 months for Chicago, big loss.

Ever want to see what two Cheebuguz look like from the Billy Goat Tavern in Chicago, the one made famous by John Belushi on Saturday Night Live? Now you do. Those cheebuguz from about four hours ago have since gone through my digestive system, and I’ll leave it at that.

Hejduk doesn’t skate; Tucker back tomorrow

Milan Hejduk didn’t skate today, but the Avs aren’t ruling him out for tomorrow in Chicago. Guess that’s the good news, though usually when a guy doesn’t practice the day before, the Avs never play him the next day.
Darcy Tucker, however, will make his return...

That’s the latest I’ve heard anyway, which could change by the time I finish posting this blog about the mysterious one, Peter Forsberg.
Foppa played three games for Sweden in the Karjala Cup and didn’t suffer any great pains from his notorious...

Reading through my first Chuck Klosterman book last week (”Killing Yourself to Live”), and I got a slight impression that Mr. Klosterman was under the impression that he is the foremost KISS authority, at least among the men of letters such as he and I have become.

Been sick all weekend, and apologies if some of this reads like a fever dream, but thought I’d at least throw out a quickie blog before all the cold medicines float me away into what no doubt figures to be a fitful night’s slumber. Hope I didn’t catch the pig flu...

Anybody happen to catch the storystory on denverpost.com today about the Avs’ own executive VP at a loss to explain the lousy attendance so far? Needless to say, there is some nervousness over at the Burgundy and Blue offices about this issue.
I’m sick today and heading...

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...

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...

A brief talk on video here with Cody McLeod, who talks about the fear of possibly losing an eye, and his decision NOT to wear a protective visor after the three or four weeks he’s been told he MUST wear one, starting with Wednesday’s game with Phoenix:
And a little time...

Darcy Tucker on the ice here, skating hard. He’s got the non-contact orange sweater on, but this is good news. McLeod back too, ready to go it looks like.

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’...

Andrew Raycroft gets the start for Vancouver against his old chums tonight.
Kyle Wellwood also will return for the Canucks. He’s a pretty good, versatile player.
