Avs in camo?

A late congrats to Mueller for this two goal, one assist game against Florida Wednesday night. Hopefully he carries that momentum in to tonight's game. I was happy to see him finally break through after all of the concussion stuff he's gone through over the last long time.

Mueller has been puttin it down in the last few games. Hopefully tonight the avs can pull out a win because I don't think they have one a game when they played the night before this year. It's nice to see some big contributions from him considering he hasn't played in two years. They are a young and exciting team to watch but how we are going to sign them all after the season ends I have no idea. I think we have 2 or 3 guys signed past the end of this season which is a big and scary problem.

I'd be okay with several members of the team not being re-signed.

Good win last night. Mueller and Landeskog!

For anyone wanting to watch the Avs tonight - they are only on NBCSP - on Comcast here that is 689, which is an HD Channel.

Also, Ryan O'Reilly will not play tonight - he has the flu.

Tough loss last night.

So at this time last year the Avs were in playoff contention. After the All-Star break, they tanked the rest of the season and ended up being one of the worst teams in the NHL. They're in a similar, but not quite as good position right now. Do the Avs rebound and make the playoffs? Or do they end up with a top-five draft pick again?

Yeah, but I was using that as more of a gauge on their performance.

Avs have spent what seems like the whole third period in the Wild zone, still can't get one by Backstrom.

Giggy has been solid, just needs someone to make a play.

The third period last night was great to watch....Avs just couldn't bury the puck. As much as I hate saying it because I was happy with the trade, Varley just isn't ready to be a starter at this point. Giggy is playing great hockey and if the Avs want to have any chance of making the playoffs, they're going to have to ride him in.

Mueller was sick so he didn't play. And the Avs lost ther 5th in a row in a game they should have won. It's just a matter of time before Sherman and LaCroix (sp?) get canned...maybe not Pierre but definitely Sherman.

2-2 start of the third. Avs getting plenty of shots but again not able to find the back on the net to break the tie!

OHHHHHHHHHHHH Landy scores!

While Stats might the force we all want him to be, put him with Landy/Muller/Duke you got yourself a pretty darn good line.
