Not Great, Bob!
Somebody's ready for the Stadium Series:
The party is over.
Varly is backing up Pickard. Will has been sent down.

This game, I reckon.
No Varly? Yikes.
Edit: Pickard is great, but Varly is a notorious Hawk killer.
Anyone else not like the new Standings page on NHL.com?
Division identifiers are gone, no ability to click on the teams and see the next 5 games or whatever. It looks like an advanced stats page IMO. Might as well have left off the team logos as well. Bland as ****...
They completely took the ease of being able to look at one line and see everything you need and threw it out the window.
Ya, the other standings have a vertical sorting thing but in the Wild Card standings there isn't, and a vertical line at the points would help a lot. I don't know why they don't have one there...
It shocks me how far ahead Kane is in scoring on that team. He has a 27 point gap on Panarin. When's the last time that big of a gap occurred on a team?
Given Colorado’s defensive depth, Avalanche GM Joe Sakic was already likely looking at potential options on the blueline, but his team’s need for defensive help may be more desperate than he thought as it appears Colorado will be without Brad Stuart for the foreseeable future.
He was a steady second-pairing blueliner for Colorado last season, but had been largely unavailable to the Avalanche this season.
The best bet is that Colorado would, if anything, look at bottom-pairing blueliners that can potentially be cost-effective, meaning Sakic can acquire help without mortgaging his club’s future.
Ahh more THN gold, http://www.thehockeynews.com/blog/a...after-back-surgery-could-miss-rest-of-season/
Was he really our second pairing defender last year? I thought that was Guenin?
They do get one thing right,
I also wouldn't say Bigras has been part of the revolving door on defense considering he has not been taken out since he was put into the lineup, but whatever.

Yeah that's a good one. This is what I mean by not watching one single game. It's also gone completely unnoticed by the media that Bigras is actually on the team, not one person has mentioned it. He's not playing a large role but anyone should be able to grasp 20 year old, 2rd round pick playing in the NHL as something worth mentioning.
To be fair to Stuart, once EJ went out he was a top-pairing defensemen for us.
First half he was on the 3rd pairing, on the second half on the 1st pairing.
FWIW, the Avs official site preview for the game has Varly backing up Picks. Has Will been sent down? Varly's trial should end today, so he should be able to make it the Can to put on a baseball cap.
So their wrong still,
I couldn't remember because I blocked out that whole top pairing part...
