I've got to make this quick but I had to get out a few thoughts.
Cody Mcleod's penalty was not a weak call, it was a 100% illegal hit. See the numbers? Don't hit. Simple.
The hit that took out John-Michael Liles was a very similar play and is the reason the boarding penalty is in place. A push/hit at that distance from the boards is very dangerous and if anybody feels otherwise, ask Liles' separate shoulder and see what it tells you.
Jeff Marek nailed it on his twitter last night - Ian White starts in net Saturday for Ron Wilson.
And it was White who denied me going 2-for-2 on predictions last night. Matt Duchene had his first goal looking him in the face while family, friends and former coaches looked on but White made a huge save to put that milestone off for at least one more game.
When the Avalanche signed Darcy Tucker, I had very mixed feelings but mostly on the negative side. He's wiping a few of those away with his points but I still can't help myself...I'm just not a big fan of the guy.
David Jones keeps pushing for his 30-goal season. I was all over this guy as soon as he came in during 07/08 and it looks like this could be his season.
Adam Foote may be slow, but he's still one strong SOB.
The Avalanche will have two 18-year old centers on their roster for the full season.
Oh, and the Avs are first in the West. In case anyone was curious.

Liles' shoulder isn't seperated, thank god! Just read it on "All things Avs" by AD.
Good review, keep it up.
Thanks for the tip, Tom! Good news that Liles isn't out for a significant length of time. I guess we'll see Ryan Wilson tomorrow night.
