This just doesn’t seem to be the season for Ruslan Salei. He played a single game to start the season and injured his back, missing the majority of the the games and only managing to play in one before the Olympics. While in Vancouver Salei captained Team Belarus, who unfortunately drop all four of their games before returning home. He then returned to the Avalanche to play in 4 more games, and that may be it for the season.
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.
Tonight the Colorado Avalanche will see the triumphant return of veteran superstar Milan “the Duke” Hejduk, who has been sidelined with knee surgery and more recently back pain. To be honest, his talent and vision on ice have been missed of late, with the Avs dropping 2 of their last 3 games.
The Colorado Avalanche are in Anaheim tonight, taking on the (formerly Mighty) Ducks in what seems to be a must win situation to maintain the race with the Vancouver Canucks for first place in the Northwest Division. There will a bit of a different roster tonight.
Welcome back to our regular coverage of the Colorado Avalanche. It was a long, strange trip through them there Olympics and needless to say I’ve written some very long winded diatribes, which I will spare you here. Really, the point of this article is to expose you to the roster situation for tonight’s game against the loathed Detroit Red Wings.
The final day of games before the first break of the tournament and the playoff brackets are finalized saw some battles and one absolutely outstanding upset (being completely misrepresented in most traditional media outlets).
Better late than never I always say, so here it is: Day two of our Men’s Olympic Hockey Coverage. This was another exciting day of seeing who is bringing what to the tournament as well as basically ranking teams based on their performance (likely erroneous judgements at best).
