I think one of the greatest things about this game was that I had to listen to the first two periods on AM 1510 because my television bit the dust.  I’ve never listened to an entire game on the radio, as I caught the third period at Old Chicago on Colorado Boulevard.  There was plenty of cursing at Cal Clutterbuck and I yelled a bit at John Michael Liles for letting the puck get past him a few times.

Tonight your Colorado Avalanche take on the flaming hot Minnesota Wild in a bid to gain ground on Calgary in the ongoing battle for the division lead. The Avs have a tumultuous past with the Wild, who are 12-1-2 against the Burgundy Boys in the last 15 games.

Not much of a game tonight, I honestly thought.  There were a plethora of texts from people we knew at the game, many of them comparing the Avalanche’s skating ability to that of rejected ballet dancers that took to figure skating.  Ouch.  On top of that, Craig Anderson is still out, but feeling better.
