If you have been paying attention at all to the Phoenix Coyotes situation, which I haven’t really – they’ve again been discussing selling and potential relocation versus Gelndale, AZ fronting the money for the NHL to maintain the team in Arizona – you may have heard that there is speculation that the Yotes could find themselves back in Winnipeg.
The entire season could diminish in just 60 minutes here tonight. I won’t say it’s over if the Colorado Avalanche fall to the Calgary Flames, but the point lead would be reduced to zero and it would be a flat out even sprint to the finish line. This IS a playoff game.
As much as fans would love to blame someone else for this game (refs), the Colorado Avalanche 5-2 loss to the Anaheim Ducks sat squarely on the team’s shoulders. It still seems to be a matter of core fundamentals that are costing this team valuable points in a race for 8th place that is quickly becoming unbearably tight.
Stop the presses, the Colorado Avalanche received even more good news today. According to Avs Coach Joe Sacco, Ryan Wilson will in fact be in the lineup tonight as the Avalanche continue their fight for a playoff birth when taking on the Anaheim Ducks at the Can.
Well, my prediction from the last post was highly inaccurate. I pretty much guaranteed that the Calgary Flames would lose to the Washington Capitals. I’m also pretty sure that most everyone thought that would happen. I mean, the Caps are #1 in the NHL, #1 in the East. The Flames? They’re sitting under the Avalanche in 9th place, 14th overall. My prediction was wrong. The Flames beat the Caps 5-3. Who saw that coming?
After last night’s loss to the Anaheim Ducks, the Avalanche needed to come out of this game with something. Anything better than what they played last night. Coach Joe Sacco sat them down this morning in LA and told them to forget the game against the Ducks. Just do better tonight against the Kings. Played better they did, but it still wasn’t quite enough.
I think the funny thing is that Kroenke Sports Entertainment is currently trying to sell Avalanche Playoff tickets. I also think it’s funny that if the Avs keep playing like they have in the last few games, those tickets will be worthless. Either the Burgundy Boys play clutch in these last series of games or they can kiss their playoff wishes goodbye.
Are you as excited for this upcoming season as you were last year?
