Avs vs Stars

Well, I am not going to be doing a bunch of game recaps, but it was a good night of hockey, so here is some of the fun:

Great first period for the Avs, and a good night for the kid line. First period shots on goal: 22 Avs to 7 Stars. Stars can't stay out of the box.

Turco is doing all the work for the Stars. He looks better than I thought he would.

Mick MaGoo (yeah, I know that isn't his real name) looks so dumb and mad in a helmet. If he doesn't like it, he could always quit (hint, hint)

Laperriere gets the first two penalty night, even though one was a fight (first of the season). First 2 minor penalty night to McLean.

Nice turnout for the live chat board. If you missed it, we'll do another one soon.

Avs are playing a solid 40 minutes. Why not the whole game?

Where did Sydor score? High glove side. Theodore is slow with the glove. I'm going to go on about this soon.

Overall, a good opening night, if not for the Avs, who squander the lead, for the NHL. Carolina slowly raises the banner, and the Leafs take forever to retire 3 jerseys, but hockey was back, and in fine form over all. Not a bad game out there tonight. It's good to have the NHL back.

Yeahn they probably do. I noticed it when he started playing for the Avs, liek the first or second game. Hard to miss.

But if Pierre Lacroix or Hackett (his goalie "coach") missed it, they aren't going to say.

Any time someone says they don't mind losing Aebischer, I laugh. Abie had his flaws, but the is insane.
