LATEST STORIES FROM IN THE CHEAP SEATS
Psst - How about those empty seats down by the glass?
I’ve been trying to find the right words for this post all day, and I’m still not quite sure what I’m going to say. As many of you know, I’ve been contributing part time at Mile High Hockey since its inception (and by “part-time”, I mean “not as often as I had promised”). After some [...]

Recap: Colorado 3 - Edmonton 2 (SO)
It was a game of redemption.
Marek Svatos took two momentum killing penalties (one leading to the first Edmonton goal), prompting the Joel Quenneville WTF face from Tony Granato. But his amazing one-on-four deke with 25 seconds remaining drew a critical penalty to put the Avs on a 5-on-3.
Darcy Tucker also took a boneheaded penalty (3 [...]

Recap: Colorado 2 - Vancouver 1 (SO)
It’s been 12 hours since I finished watching the game, and I’m still a wee bit giddy. The Vancouver Canucks hadn’t lost to a NW team all year. Roberto Luongo hadn’t been scored on since the Eisenhower administration. The Canucks were 8-1 when scoring first (which they ended up doing in this game). And the [...]

Awesome.
That was one hell of a game. Roberto Luongo and Peter Budaj put on a goaltending clinic out there. The both made a lot of highlight reel saves. I’m guessing the stores are all out of those I Believe in Budaj buttons.
Oh, and TJ? Good luck with the apartment hunting in Denver.
Bigger recap tomorrow…

Can we get Sanjaya to hair and makeup please?
Joe Sakic will not be on the ice in Vancouver on Wednesday. Although his MRI was negative, he’s not yet ready to go and did not make the trip to his home province. The next chance for him to play will be on Saturday in Edmonton. (The Oilers, by the way, claimed Jesse Boulerice of [...]

The curious story of Scott Parker
I know the Scott Parker story has been given coverage today by both the Denver Post and Joe over at MHH. While I think that would normally be plenty for a player like Parker, I do think the story is worth looking at a little deeper.
The Sheriff was re-signed by the Avs on June 24th. [...]

Cumiskey apparently sent down
If it’s been reported somewhere, I’ve missed it. Kyle Cumiskey has been sent back to Lake Erie according to this transaction page. I’d say that’s pretty accurate, since Cumiskey played for the Monsters on Sunday (wearing the A, no less).
Not that it’s a big deal - with Hannan healthy enoug to play on Saturday, this [...]

Recap: Colorado 1 - Nashville 0
The streak of futility is over. The Avalanche won for the first time since October 25th, blanking the Nashville Predators 1-0. I had other stuff going on last night, so, while I watched most of the game, I wasn’t really paying all that much attention. Of course, that won’t stop me from talking about it.
The [...]

According to AD, Cody McCormick has left the team for personal reasons and David Jones has been recalled. Hopefully, everything is okay with Cody. Also, Joe Sakic is expected to play tomorrow against the Predators.

Tucker under fire
Darcy Tucker is under fire today, and I don’t just mean from the folks bashing him on the message boards. Despite a rare solid game for Tucker against the Wild last night - he had the lone goal as well as a couple of hits - the buzz this morning is on his low hit [...]
