Perhaps Varly will get you lots of saves??? haha actually this team does block a bunch of shots, especially since Greg Zanon can't do anything else. O'Byrne is great at taking cross checking penalties on the PK to give the other team a two man advantage. Hunwick is one of the fastest skating D man I've ever seen, especially backwards he can skate faster than most guys skating forwards, however he hasn't been able to actually apply that skill to the game of hockey. Barrie just loves to carry the puck into the offensive zone and skate around the net before coughing it up, or repeatedly hits shin pads with his point shots. O'Brien thinks he's Bobby Orr carrying the puck through the neutral zone with one hand on his stick shielding the defender with his other arm as if he were playing a game of one-on-one shinny. Finally Jan Hejda, well, he's actually the only decent D left on this team now, he's done well considering who he's been partnered with, and has an underrated heavy shot, but we insist on playing 8-9 forwards on our two PP units.

Guess Barrie was sent down. Dont see him scratched tonight.

Soo...did Colorado lay down as much of a turd as the Oilers highlights made it out to be? Because from where I was sitting it looked like Varlamov got seriously hung out to dry tonight. None of the goals were really weak...all pretty much off of a Avs turnover or on the PP. No support on the rebounds either.

Joey Hishon saw his first game action tonight for the Lake Erie Monsters in almost 2 years due to a concussion.....Not many reports up yet, but he was even on the night with 3 SOG as the Monsters lost to the Marlies 4-2 in Lake Erie.

See Barrie called back up, 1 assist last night.

Parenteau is very under-rated, he makes things happen every shift. Will be curious to see how close he can be to a ppg player in a full season.

Don't much about goalie prospects and so when i looked up goalie starters for tonight i went who when i saw colorados starting goalie Sami ....

Looked him up on goalie post and it says he was injured and hasn't played since JAN. anyone got insight and should he be on radars for the near futren with varly's injury history

Sami Aittokallio played a great game in his first start in Los Angeles. He should definitely be on your radar, however he plays a similar style to Varlamov, whereas the other goalie highly touted in the organization, Calvin Pickard, plays more like Giguere in that he's very positionally sound, and is more of a blocking goalie, but doesn't have as quick of reflexes/athleticism to make some of the crazy explosive saves that Varly can make.

The Avs are fairly deep in goaltending prospects, and actually one of Aittokallio or Pickard could be dangled as part of a trade that would get the team a piece that they desperately need on the back end, or to upgrade on the wing.

As long as he's lined up with Duchene, he should be a 70+ pt. guy every year. He's been terrific in Colorado... him and what John Mitchell has brought to the team... it's amazing that PA and Jones have the exact same contract.
