February 28, 2013 - Flames at Avalanche

Down 3-0 in the first period, the Avalanche were booed off the ice. They started the second period with 2 quick goals before the Flames went up 4-2. In the third period, as news materialized that Ryan O'Reilly would be rejoining the team, the Avalanche scored 3 unanswered goals and held off late power plays and 6-man attacks from the Flames to win this one 5-4. Everyone in the building got their money's worth as Duchene, Stastny, and Landeskog all had points on impressive plays. Very nice one for the guys in burgundy and blue. I did not have as good of a game as the Avalanche, but made some clean, though not particularly interesting, pictures, and enjoyed the atmosphere. 

February 18, 2013 - Predators at Avalanche

First, I need to apologize for the way the pictures on this blog look. I'll update platforms soon; Blogger has finally forced my hand with even crappier control over how pictures look. Hopefully I can keep the archive without much trouble. I used to code my own HTML and I had to again tonight to get it to look even as good as it does, which I know is not great.

Second, the Avalanche won a shootout today, and for the first time in 10 meetings, beat the Nashville Predators. I was told that Carrie Underwood was NOT in the building, but I don't know what that has to do with anything. Seven goals were scored in the second period. The Predators came within one on a Shea Weber goal with a minute to go in the third, but the Avalanche were able to hold off the 90 second 6-man charge.

November 8 - Oilers at Avalanche

Av's finally lost one at home. Too many power play goals against, not enough offense. 3 goals is decent but it would have taken 6 tonight. Not much else to say. I chose a photo that has illustrates the outcome of the game. David Jones, who had his 6th goal in the third period, was tripped up in front of the net, but no penalty was called.



Next game won't be until the 14th.
