David Staples over at The Cult of Hockey just threw down with Adrian Dater, bashing the Avalanche along the way.AD twitted - from a sick bed, not from the press box - the following:"Can't win 'em all at home. A shame the Avs had to finally lose to a dog team like Edmonton...

The Oilers are on a 3-game losing streak and I always say that the longer a streak goes, the more likely it is to end. Unless you're Carolina, of course. But I don't expect Edmonton's streak to end tonight. I'm feeling good. I believe the Avs are feeling good. And I...

If there's one thing we should know by now about this Avalanche squad, it's that a 2-goal deficit means the game is just getting started. With five minutes left on the clock and a 2-0 deficit, a lot of fans must have been thinking "If we can get just one goal, this game...

Do you know what I was doing while the Avalanche were beating the Coyotes? Sleeping. That's right, I fell asleep before the game started and didn't wake up until 12 hours later when the game was won, the rejoicing was over, the worrying had started over Duchene's sore shoulder...

A grueling October finally came to a close for the Avalanche and it could not have gone any better. Well, they could have done without all the injuries. And I suppose technically they did leave six of a possible 28 points on the table. But all things considered, this was a success...

Jay Onrait - the funniest man on TSN - just put up a blog post after not writing anything for the last 15 years (give or take a few months). In it, he has a chat with our very own Mr. Anderson. I don't know when Jay decided to play it straight but I'll take it anyway I can...

Wow. Craig Anderson will make his 15th straight start tomorrow against the Vancouver Canucks.I can only presume that the coaching staff believe the hype behind the wheels coming off for this team and have decided to ride Neo while he is hot. Once our youngsters hit the wall and the...

This morning as soon as I woke up, I said to the gf "Hey, the Avs are tied for 1st in the league" (yes, I said it with a hyperlink). She said "Maybe Sakic was bad luck. Good thing he's gone!" After she cleaned up the glass of water I dumped over her head (kidding...

Darren Dreger just sent a tweet that Darcy Tucker received 40 stitches after hitting his head on the ice and will likely be out for 10 days.That's a lot of stitches but it's good that he is already out of the hospital after being patched up.10 days of time would mean he could...

Tuomo Ruutu has received a three-game suspension for his hit on Darcy Tucker last night. Good. I don't know if I have to add anything more beyond my rant last night, but hopefully Ruutu never does this again to another player.Tucker is out of the hospital and Brian Willsie has...

I don't think anyone will be surprised by the news that Matt Duchene is with the Colorado Avalanche for the season.And I'm not even surprised that Jori scooped everybody on this one and had the news up on her site before any other Avs related coverage did.She also found an...

That ending was so unexpected and yet so damn heartwarming. It was like a cheesy Hollywood movie but it's one I could get behind. After falling behind 2-0 and being absolutely dominated in the first two periods, the Avalanche came out in the third, tied it up, fell behind again...

Kyle Quincey is a little bothered that the Detroit Red Wings voted and said he wouldn't get his name on the '08 Stanley Cup. Red Wings fans are annoyed that Quincey is bothered. Quincey is now a member of the Colorado Avalanche. Perfect.Wings fans are saying it's a joke...

No, O'Reilly!I'm late to the party so hopefully nobody has used that one yet.A few thoughts:Montreal's second goal should have been blown dead. The Avalanche's third goal should have seen a penalty on Cody Mcleod. The Canadiens had seven players on the ice in the final...

Pierre Lebrun and the rest of the media have started to notice the Avalanche.You can't blame them as the Avs sit atop the Western conference, but this attention is not good karma. Let's hope the Avs can fight past some upcoming media hype

The Canadian PressI've got to make this quick but I had to get out a few thoughts.Cody Mcleod's penalty was not a weak call, it was a 100% illegal hit. See the numbers? Don't hit. Simple.The hit that took out John-Michael Liles was a very similar play and is the reason...
