In advance of the Avs' victory later today, I had a look in this morning's Denver Post at some of the +/- figures for players on the Mild's roster. Absolutely brutal. What....a week and a half into the season and some guy is already a minus 9? Why isn't his a/s/s on a bus to the ECHL? Oh, I see, he's the team's best defenseman. :eek:

The Wild are one of the suckiest teams in the NHL. The av's lost to the Wild. How does it feel to suck more than the suckiest team?

I am still waiting on your response which I left you in my rep. I am willing to trade you the tpups in exchange for a box of Captain Crunch. Make it Captain Crunch all berries and I will throw in the sccc hockey team .............:D

What - the two you finagled from Coach Parker weren't enough?? :eek: Yeah, I'll bring the one I had for you. Where do you sit again? I couldn't find you at the game on Tuesday. Which was a lousy start to what was supposed to be my Best Birthday Week Ever. Could get worse if hottie bartender is not there tomorrow.

I hope your birthday week gets better (with the exception of Saturday night when I'd like the hockey team I cheer for to win).

The Avs are a pleasant surprise to fans here in Denver. After a terrible season in 2008-2009, the firing of a coach and the retirement of the franchise's most storied player [Joe Sakic] little was expected of the Avs for the 2009-2010 season. Personally, I still think the dire predictions for the Avs may turn out to be accurate. In the meantime, it's an unexpected treat to see the team play well to start the season.

The game against the Wild last night was the final game of the Avs' seven game road trip. Colorado earned 10 of a possible 14 points on the trip highlighted by wins in Boston and Detroit. The only loss in regulation time the Avs suffered was to Nashville. In the NHL's current and ongoing covoluted thinking a shootout loss still earns a team a point, so the Avs finished the road trip by earning a point last night.

The Avs are going to be very young at a key position this year. The decision has been made that two eighteen year old centers--Matt Duchene and Ryan O'Reilly--will not be sent back to junior hockey. The two will remain on the Avs' roster for now and, while by stipulation in the NHLPA they cannot be sent back to junior hockey after the tenth game of the NHL season, they CAN be demoted to minor league hockey [the AHL, ECHL, etc.] at any point during the season. While coach Joe Sacco [not to be confused with Joe Sakic] hasn't said precisely what's in store for the two kids, it seems likely they'll stay on the Avs' roster all season without a trip to Lake Erie in the AHL.

With Paul Stastny--age 23, in his fourth year in the NHL, and centering the Avs' top line--coupled with Duchene age 18 on the second line and O'Reilly age 18 centering the third line the Avs may--I repeat may--be set at center for quite some time.

I remain unconvinced the team has enough goal scoring, solid defensemen or top level talent in goal to compete successfully throughout the course of an eighty-two game regular season schedule. Nevertheless, the just completed 4-1-2 roadtrip is an impressive stretch for a young team and may give it the confidence to defy the poor predictions forecast for it before the season began.

As for your rep, I eat cereal five mornings out of seven. I wouldn't waste any on the tdogs.

Huh. I remember last year with Bogosian, he couldn't be sent to the minors for some reason concerning his age (under 20, I believe) and wasn't out of juniors/college for 3 years or something. Of course, he broke his leg in his 9th game, but was told he wouldn't be getting sent back to the OHL once he healed. Maybe GLM can help clarify this or something, but it seems there is some contradiction, be it real or just my mind getting things twisted around.

The worst was actually about 40 minutes south of Duloot when there was actual slush building on I35. I got worried about overpasses.

I agree on the overpasses just south of Duluth, the one's with the curves. I've seen a lot of people go down those steep embankments there.

In the case of 18 year old players ONLY....

If an NHL team keeps an 18 year old player on its roster to begin the season it has until the tenth game of the season to send him back to junior hockey. If such a player is in uniform for an NHL's tenth game having been on the roster from opening day of the season he CANNOT be sent back to junior hockey that season, PERIOD.

If a player remains on the NHL team's roster through and including the tenth game of a team's season after that point he may be sent to minor league hockey [AHL, ECHL, etc.].

The Colorado Avs have two such 18 year old players on their roster: centers Matt Duchene the 3rd pick in last summer's draft and Ryan O'Reilly the 33rd pick in the same draft. Both players have been told by coach Joe Sacco they will NOT be sent back to junior hockey and will be in the lineup for tomorrow night's game====> the Avs' 10th game of the season. By stipulation in the current NHLPA CBA, Duchene and O'Reilly may not be sent back to junior hockey this season. The Avs may elect to send them to a minor league hockey affiliate, but again, NOT junior hockey.

Don't know a thing about the player to whom you make reference, but the above stipulation I have cited pertains only to 18 year olds, not players of any other age. Because Duchene and O'Reilly must remain on the Avs' roster for the duartion of the season does not mean the Avs must play them every night. However, having Duchene and O'Reilly on the roster and not playing them would greatly slow their development. In short, barring injury and perhaps fatigue later in the season, Duchene and O'Reilly will be in the Avs' lineup throughout the season.
