With the 2010 Winter Olympics Men’s Hockey Tournament preliminary rounds finished, it is time we take a look at the standings and the overall larger playoff picture. There are a few surprises this year regarding the “Super Six” of Canada, Russia, Sweden, Finland, the USA, and the Czech Republic.
Here we go with Part 2 of The Chopping Block: Who Can We Afford to Let Go? It’s been a little hard compiling this list of people who I think we can safely trade. As it stands, I think the Avs are doing a great job, but they could be doing better. I’d really like to see an amazing playoff run by them this year, even though it’s slated as a rebuilding year. That’s why I started this little project of mine during the Olympic break. Part 2 – Guardian(s):
The International Ice Hockey Federation has half of this year’s Olympic Hockey team rosters available to peruse online today, with another five being announced tomorrow. The Team USA roster won’t be released until January 1st, during the Winter Classic game. Things aren’t looking good for team USA at this point but hey, we had the Miracle on Ice remember?
The Colorado Avalanche face off at home against the Columbus Blue Jackets tonight in the fourth meeting between the two teams this season. There are a few things going on with the team that are interesting to take note of.
Not according to Colorado Avalanche rookie sensation Matt Duchene, who had one hell of a move trying to tie the game up. According to him it was slow and seemingly frustrating to play. It is no wonder that Marian Gaborik went to New York and is now pooping goals under the new system.
Thats right, the Colorado Avalanche dropped their second straight game, this time to the Carolina Hurricanes. The Canes currently sit last in the entire (world) NHL with 31 points – 6 points behind the flailing Edmonton Oilers and 8 points behind the struggling Toronto Maple Leafs.
In a shocking twist to Avs fans everywhere, Peter Budaj is getting a start tonight despite Craig Anderson being healthy. While most casual fans may be quick to lament this decision, Budaj has been playing very well for himself when given the opportunity.
