The Chicago Blackhawks stormed through the 2009-10 NHL postseason, taking no prisoners and rightly proclaiming Lord Stanley’s Cup as their trophy. Then they went out and had to clean house, losing nearly half of the team that got them the championship. Nobody can blame the ‘Hawks for essentially buying themselves a cup. They did what they needed to have a team that could compete.
The Colorado Avalanche shocked everyone at the 2010 NHL Draft, selecting a player many consider extremely under the first round radar. Fans and analysts alike have been left wondering just what the Avalanche were thinking in drafting Joey Hishon so high.
While fans of the Colorado Avalanche may have expected this for a while, Avalanche Head Coach Joe Sacco was announced as a finalist for the Coach of the Year (Jack Adams Award) by the NHL today.
The Colorado Avalanche, also known as the underdogs, have been giving the San Jose Sharks a run for their money. The Avs have had to transition their game to nearly 100% defense to shut down the Sharks top two lines and they’ve been doing a good job of it. Unfortunately tonight in the Shark Tank, they were never once called for too many men on the ice. The Sharks had 9 total on ice at all times, not including Evgeni Nabokov, and four of them were wearing black and white stripes.
Colorado Avalanche rookie savior Matt Duchene has been announced as a top 3 candidate to receiver the Calder Trophy for the 2009-2010 NHL season. The Calder Trophy is the honor the league bestows upon the rookie of the year.
Dear NHL Officiating Staff and Management,
I’m writing to you to address a growing concern about your ability to fairly officiate this year’s Stanley Cup Playoffs. While this comes from a blog based solely around the Colorado Avalanche, your current level of officiating has fans of all team colors concerned and at times enraged.
This had to have been one of the most insane games at The Can this season. We saw Craig Anderson shut out the San Jose Sharks. We saw the Sharks put the puck on Andy 51 times and Andy blocked them all. That’s one short of his all time career record. The fans in Denver saw three scoreless periods and 51 seconds of overtime before something quite odd happened.
