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?
According to Colorado Avalanche Coach Joe Sacco’s pregame, Ryan O’Reilly will not play tonight against the St. Louis Blues. O’Reilly is suffering from a bruised foot, which was injured Saturday night against the Edmonton Oilers. Good news here is that testing came back negative on breaks and further damage, so hopefully he’ll be back soon.
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.
It has been a little while since I’ve fawned over stellar Colorado Avalanche crease crusader Craig Anderson and since he’s been named the NHL’s 2nd Star of the Week for his insanely awesome play, I figured now would be the right time to do so.
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.
