In case you hadn’t heard, Colorado Avalanche sensational “goalie-in-the-wings” Tyler Weiman signed with the Vancouver Canucks yesterday. While this may come as a surprise to many who imagined him the heir apparent to Colorado’s throne, that just didn’t seem like it would ever come to be.
Our favorite opposing defensemen, now that Rob Blake has left us, has been traded to the Vancouver Canucks, meaning we’ll have to worry/wait for more BS antics.
It was a great win for the Colorado Avalanche coming off a 6-4 loss to Vancouver on Tuesday. Craig Anderson got his 7th shutout of the season, tying goaltenders Tomas Vokoun, Ilya Bryzgalov, and Marty Brodeur for most shutouts of the season. It was a great accomplishment by the Avalanche as a loss like they had on Tuesday can run like poison through the veins of a team, but the Avs shook the loss off and played some hockey tonight. And though Sid&Ovie.com doesn’t bother covering the Avalanche when they win, but tend to jump on the Burgundy Boys when they lose, that’s why you come here.
What a game by the Avalanche! We saw seven goals by four different Avalanche and hats fell to the ice for fan favorite Chris Stewart. Though the steam seemed to run out in the 3rd period, the Avs held on long enough to win the game with a four goal lead to stop the St. Louis Blues winning streak at five.
Colorado Avalanche backup goaltender Peter Budaj will get his third consecutive start of the season tonight against the St. Louis Blues. Budaj has been filling in for Craig Anderson, who injured his neck after being run down by Keith “Cry Baby” Ballard in Florida. This game ends the Avs current 5 game road trip.
I’m just going to throw this out there: If anyone were to go to the NHL website, the headline “Pens Ice Avs” is a bit deceptive to those who won’t be reading the story. They’ll just think to themselves that the Avalanche are having another bad year and that the Pens had an easy time with the Burgundy Boys. Completely not true.
Colorado Avalanche goaltender Craig Anderson is day to day after being on the receiving end of a Keith Ballard hit. Ballard drove the net in the third period of last night’s shootout loss against Florida, wiping out into Andy, and injuring the goalie’s neck.
Are you as excited for this upcoming season as you were last year?
