Goaltending Tandems Worse Than Conkkanen
I am a really, really big Ty Conklin fan. Always have been. Always will be. If I were a better person, it would be my greatest character flaw. I'm also a big fan of Finns. Thus, when Kevin Lowe dared to dream of the tandem of Ty Conklin and Jussi Markkanen, I was a big supporter.I had numbers, too....
Mike's Quick Thoughts
Now that everybody is in full on piss-n-moan mode about the Avalanche front office and thier lack of anything resembling a hockey move since last year's trade deadline, I thought I'd reiterate one quick point: GOING INTO THIS SEASON: Combined $$ Spent on Top 6 Forwards: $20.46 million (Smytty,...

The Dater Crusade Against Peter Budaj Continues
Denver Post beat writer Adrian Dater continues his relentless attacks on Colorado Avalanche goalie Peter Budaj. In nearly every blog post and every game recap he does for the paper, he includes some kind of swipe or negative comment. Even while his colleague Terry Frei qualifies his criticism and...
Peter Budaj's PR Improving, If Slowly
If you read nothing but the Denver Post, the Hockey News, or most other traditional hockey media outlets, you'd think Peter Budaj was the worst starting goaltender in the entire National Hockey League. Ever. Even though Avalanche blogs like this one have been carefully documenting his strengths,...
Woody Paige Not On Planet Earth
Today, sometime Denver Post columnist and ESPN talking head Woody Paige submitted for our approval a 'piece' detailing Andrew Raycroft's first game in net for the Colorado Avalanche. He apparently didn't watch the game of which he writes, because he has officially jumped behind the wheel of the...
Peter Budaj With A Little Perspective
This was a great comment in the Game Recap below, so much so that I think it deserves its very own post: Budaj 0-3-0 SV% .824 GAA 4.38 Giguere 0-3-0 SV% .851 GAA 4.38 Theodore 1-0-0 SV% .824 GAA 4.02 T. Thomas 1-0-0 SV% .897 GAA 4.02 Kiprusoff 1-1-1 SV% .826...
