Three games for Ruutu. I’d have gone with five, but fuck it, the NHL is almost always too light.

Also, something something Flames suck.

I agree. I thought obtaining a decent back-up who becomes a main would be a good thing, but I never really expected this good of a start from a team thats “rebuilding”.

And then Budaj gets his first start and the win last night too. Mind you, loosing Tucker may hurt.

I figured Colorado would be better with Anderson, but damn.

Bizarro world in the early days, though. Both the NW and the Pacific are pretty much upside-down from where I thought they’d be.

And now Demitra’s out for the season. Sorry Clegg.

I have to say I’m not sure whether I’m surprised about Colorado or not. They have great O, and now they have a goalie who can stop pucks. I just didn’t think the D were particularly good, to be honest.

But you forgot the most important stat, you’re one point behind Colorado.

Matt, who now watches as Colorado tumbles from 3rd in the league as rapidly as their namesake would indicate.

I’d wait at least 20 games before planning the parade route However the first quarter of the season can be enough to help a team squeeze into the playoffs.

I think something that has been overlooked is the fine job Quinn, and Renney have done with this team.

Small sample sizes and all, but the big thing for me is that they’ve looked much better overall in these games than they did the same time last year.

Also, when Dustin Penner is on his game, that man is (a) instant chemistry, and (b) a freight train carrying the puck. This is the player we’ve been paying for since 2007.
