Both Budaj and Kolesnik are both good goalies and very solid backups and they should be able to keep the Avs in the playoff race until Theodore gets healthy again. I definitely don't think they've packed it up. The local papers and the Avs website had sme interviews with Pierre Lacroix (our President and GM) and he said that we are going to be very solid in net for the next few years with Theodore being the goalie of the future and we have two young solid backups in Kolesnik and Budaj. Hopefully this all works out, I seem to remember us getting another big name goalie from Montreal a few years back... :)

LOL, but Theodore is no Roy.

I've got tickets tonight to see the Wild V. Edmonton.  Should be a good game and should be fun if Roli is in goal again for Edmonton.

My record for the year is a little lacking (1-4-0-0):

Vancouver 3, Wild 1
Phoenix 4, Wild 2
Wild 5, St. Louis 3  :)
Ottawa 5, Wild 1
Detroit 5, Wild 4


After tonight, I only have one more set of tickets (Wild vs. Calgary) and then, since there are no Cup Playoffs for me, I guess I have to start going to Twins games in April.   ;)

Because the NHL saw fit to stick 3 of them in my division...  ::)

I always try to make it to at least 1 game with each of the division rivals each year.  The intensity is pretty good and because we play them so often, the Wild always have a shot to win those games no matter the record of the other team.   ;)

This year though I passed on Colorado in favor of Detroit.  The other 3 games (Phoenix, Ottawa, St. Louis) were all pick-up games from friends who couldn't go and sold me their tickets. 


ps.
Plus, with Canadian Teams you get "O, Canada".  That's two national anthems for the price of one!   :D

I'm off to TN soon to see the Wings/Preds and then Wings/Oilers at the Joe in early April.  I can't wait!

Man, with the Wild being 19-13-2 at home, I sure had some bad luck seeing them win this year. 

Vancouver 3, Wild 1
Phoenix 4, Wild 2
Wild 5, St. Louis 3  :)
Ottawa 5, Wild 1
Detroit 5, Wild 4
Edmonton 2, Wild 1

Record when I have tickets:  1-5-0
And record when I don't go:  18-8-2

Maybe I better stay home next year...   :-[

Wings win a big one in a shootout and now they need to beat a slumping Vancouver team tonite.  Dallas is hot on their heels.

Whew!  I got to end the year on a win...

Wild 3, Calgary 1.

A great game and three VERY sweet goals from the Wild - Gabby on the PP, Rolson Shorthanded, and Gabby with a sweet empty-netter he flipped over a defenseman to ice it.   ;D

Who's your vote for MVP?

It's got to be Jagr. 

He's set a new NYR team record for goals and points as well as leading the Rangers to a chance at an Altantic Division title and a 3-seed in the playoff.  Add in the fact that he is currently neck-and-neck with Thornton for the NHL pooints lead and it's pretty hard to find a more deserving candidate this year...

Lundquist.  I don't think the Rangers play that much D, do they?  Jagr's numbers are great, no doubt, but without Lundquist back there they'd be screwed. 

I also think Lundquist should get the rookie honor, though it'll probably go to Crosby (great player, but undeserving) or Ovechkin (more deserving than Crosby).

Jagr will certainly get a ton of votes.  It'll be interesting to see if the new rules have any effect on the awards.  Lidstrom is walking away with the Norris if you ask me.

Wings/Preds game 2nite and Jamie and I will be there!  I'm fired up!

I just thought I'd throw this audio clip in here for a smile (may not be safe for work  ;)).
