It was a gorgeous day in Denver today and throughout the day the Avalanche fans were both anticipating and dreading tonight’s game against the San Jose Sharks. Not only are the Sharks one of the high scoring teams in the west, they’re also in 2nd place in the league. After a bad loss against the Calgary Flames on April 2nd, the Avs needed win to gain some ground on the coveted 8th place spot in the Western Conference Standings.
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.
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.
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).
The second round of Olympic Team rosters have been announced today for Switzerland, Germany, Finland, the Czech Republic, and Canada. So interesteing teams have been put together including that of team Canada.
According to Altitude Sport’s morning skate podcast, Marek Svatos is already back out again. Terry Frei from the Denver Post corroborates, saying he has a chest contusion and is “day to day” according to Joe Sacco. Just when the the guy has a chance to potentially have major minutes, he’s off the ice again.
A quick hit today on the Colorado Avalanche website breaks some bad news for Avs fans. Colorado Avalanche forward Milan Hejduk has undergone an arthroscopic procedure on his troubled knee and is expected to miss 2-4 weeks.
Are you as excited for this upcoming season as you were last year?
