COLORADO BLOGS: MILE HIGH HOCKEY

NOTES

Get your SPG picks in for a chance to win a Penguins wall clock courtesy of Carrolls Cove.  The contest ends at the All-Star Break, so now's the time to start making your moves.

In case you missed it during the preview, tonight's game pins brother again brother.  No, there's not some long lost Staal brother playing on the Avalanche.  Actually, Pensburgh's own JDunman and Mile High Hockey's Joe will duke it out for their parents' love.

Here's your Staal'esque breakdown:

Joe JDunman Advantage
Team Avalanche Penguins JDunman
Weapon Sarcasm/wit Sarcasm/wit Tie
Weakness Faith in Andrew Raycroft "Adorable" avatars Joe
Favorite food The souls of Red Wings fans Pensburgh open threads Tie

With that said, here are the game notes.

Remember when Ruslan Fedotenko rocked Colby Armstrong last week?  Well now he is out 4-6 weeks with a broken hand.

Marc-Andre Fleury Dany Sabouin gets the start for Pitt, Andrew "Redlight" Raycroft for Colorado.

Hal Gill a scratch again. He's playing, Goligoski is a scratch

Lines looking like the same combos from Nashville, but as anyone knows that means absolutely nothing by the middle of the first period.

Even that I think was a bit changed because I think it first started where the goalie’s skate couldn’t even be in that area when controlling the puck. Now, I believe, his skates can be there but the puck can’t.

I just saw something at the end of the period as the teams were filing into their respective tunnels that really made me sick: Crosby, just sitting there with his head down on the bench. That is not the kind of leadership this team needs right now. I don’t care if he did just come off the ice, he should be standing there, waiting to go in, or off to the side encouraging the guys as they go in the tunnel. What kind of horse shit is this where he just sits on the bench looking at his skates? I expect better from him and from any captain.
