I don’t think any of us saw that coming. In typical ironic fashion, the Avalanche fell to the Coyotes off a shot from Wojtek Wolski, a guy who’s had a problem shooting the puck and before this game had two goals in the last twenty-five. One of those was a mercy goal empty netter given by Chris Stewart. It was a little strange to see, honestly.
Arguably the most exciting day of hockey during the entire Olympics happened yesterday, including what was supposed to be the unreal match up between Russia and Canada. Not many could have predicted the final outcome of the days events.
Day three of our Olympic Men’s Hockey coverage continues with recap of USA vs. Norway, Switzerland vs. Canada, and Slovakia vs. Russia. What a day it was!
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?
There were no ACME product mishaps in the game tonight at the Pepsi Center. The Phoenix Coyotes showed up in Denver knowing that the Avalanche would give them trouble, but I don’t think they expected as much trouble as they got tonight. By the time the final horn sounded, Phoenix would leave The Can defeated.
Peter Budaj led the Colorado Avalanche past the suprisingly hot Phoenix Coyotes, 4-1 last night at the Pepsi Center. Facing 29 shots and stopping 28, Boods managed an excellent effort against a team that is blowing as many minds with their season start as the Avs are.
The NHL today named Craig Anderson the #1 Player of the Month for October. He is accompanied by Alex Ovechkin at #2 and Ilya Bryzgalov at #3. This is not surprising seeing as how Anderson not only lead the league with a .939 saves average, but also showcased himself as the keystone in the rebuilt phenomenon that is this year’s Colorado Avalanche.
