Colorado @ Buffalo. 7:00 pm ET

Recommended Posts

The lowly Avalanche come into Buffalo tonight at 7pm Eastern to face the red hot Sabres. Buffalo has been 7-3-0 in their past 10 while Colorado slumps in a 3-4-3 with two consecutive overtime losses. Tied in the standings at 28 points each, this should be a good match up. Buffalo gets to see Mackinnon in action, and Colorado gets to see what a $4 million USD Brier really looks like.

What happened to the Avs? They were red hot last season. I know they lost to Minny in the playoffs but they have solid players. Crazy slide backwards so far.

 

It will be cool seeing Briere back in Buffy too.

 

Well their Vezina-level goaltender came back down to earth and got hurt. They lost a leader in Stastny. They're a young group of kids without much leadership that's been there for more than a year.

 

Go ahead, make the Sabre comparisons. You'd probably be right in some ways.

They stopped outperforming their fundamentals, MacKinnon is struggling in the wing to center transition, Varlamov remembered he was Varlamov, they decided to sign Iginla rather than shoring up the blue line, and they thought Briere was still a good player. That about covers it.

That picture of Foligno celebrating after finding Waldo is hilarious.

And I can see Roy's antics getting real old, real quick.

They were okay. The current ones are too.

 

The current ones suck. It looks like a stupid blue cape over an ugly yellow jersey with giant gray cuffs. The only way it could look worse would be for them to put the slug logo on it. The only redeeming qualities to the jersey are the captain and alternate patches and the fact that the jersey will soon go the way of the dodo.
