Why Colorado Can’t Win Tonight

The Colorado—Vancouver series continues tonight—a game that we can expect both teams to be extremely motivated to win. Vancouver to continue fighting for home ice advantage and the division lead; and Colorado to simply get a playoff spot.
Here are the reasons that Vancouver will win:
(1) Canucks have been sucking their oxygen tanks extra time. No chance of falling over from the altitude problems.
(2) Avalanche fans are can be tools. (I know of 2 obvious exceptions to this rule—and there are probably a few others—but I still think it’s a safe generalization.)
(3) Luongo and the D didn’t have their greatest game Sunday night. But when’s the last time you remember their suckitude happening twice in a row? Exactly.
(4) The Canucks have analyzed the issue and decided that only TWO shots in each of the final two periods is not quite a winning strategy. They will adjust accordingly.
(5) History of the Avs discourages God from giving them more happiness in the future:

Greg & Tapeleg— Love the Wings crack. (Nicely done!) But it is the two of you who should fear the power of Cowan. I guess we’ll see…

Are you watching this one live, or on tape delay? I need to know whether to text message you the moment Luongo’s groin tears as Hejduk fakes him, or wait ‘til later.

I’m watching it live. I’ll be sure to catch that one special moment that Joe Sakic finally acknowledges he plays for the Team of Evil (the TOE) and defects to the Canucks.
Perhaps not tonight, but sooner or later. Hopefully before he freakin’ retires, anyway. I choose to believe he will break free one day…

Cowan? Too close to coward.
Canucks are part of my TOE (trifecta of evil). I look at them as a sad little Red Wings. So sad

Wow, Naslund is still playing? Who knew?

“I look at them as a sad little Red Wings.”
Now, now, Tapeleg. That’s just cruel. Take that back.
I’d never put your beloved team in the same category as the Wings!

You guys are taking a pounding today. Paul on NHL.com, double teamed here during the game.
Maybe you wouldn’t, but Tu-Tus? It does showoff their legs.

Well, THAT didn’t really work out as planned.

Man, the Avs PP sucked. It was hard to fault the D on anything, and Theo wasn’t bad.
Could have used series like that earlier in the season.
Posted by Tapeleg from Denver, CO on 03/27/07 at 10:32 PM ET
God, that was fun. So glad you gentlemen were up for playing tonight. 
(okay, I’ll stop being an ass now, promise.)
