  1. Saturday's game against Edmonton was fantastic. Hard to believe this was the first time the Avs have played them this season. It was a close game but one big thing that stood out to me was how many more blocked shots the Oilers had against the Avs, we were shelling Skinner. But it remained tied at the end of the first. Second is when the scoring started, had a penalty shot and a goal disallowed for kicking it in between both teams. Our deadline trade pickups were doing a great job, Walker almost had a hat trick. Welcome back Lekhonen, this guy is a swiss army knife, can do it all. And with 0.2 seconds left scored the winning goal. We always go to overtime against the Oilers, it's fun but nerve wracking too.

    The Worst of Rush

    Ok plenty of stinkers here, but Working Man, Fly By Night, Closer to the Heart, and LIMELIGHT??? Can't agree with you there
  3. Glad Jon Stewart is back, this episode is great...love his self own. So good I watched it twice. It's the March 11th episode
  4. I enjoy Bob Cesca, found his podcast a couple of years ago. He is a big Rush fan and good friends with Donna Halper. The majority of his stuff is political so it may not be everyone's cup of tea. He talks to Donna at least 4 times a year. She has been a professor for many years and is a very smart lady who I enjoy listening to. Here's a link to the newest show with her on Valentine's day this year https://www.bobcesca.com/the-bob-cesca-interview-donna-halper-day-2-14-24/
  5. So sorry for your loss of Crookshanks (wish there really was a spell you could use for him ) I can relate, we lost our 14 year old Rusty almost a year ago and I still miss him
  6. Me either, that was pretty gutsy of the Wild to do that the other night, big risk to lose your extra point. Glad Avs didn't have to do that
  7. Last night's game in Vancouver was a topsy turvy event. Avs found themselves down 2-0 early in the game and when the Canucks scored again in the 2nd period, it looked like it wasn't their night. Mikko scores a goal with 2 seconds left in the 2nd period, so there's a chance. Avs come out hard and tie it up 3-3 in the third. It was going to overtime but Vancouver hit the puck over the glass with time running out. So Avs get a power play in OT and win it with a crazy bounce off Nichushkin's visor. Crazy
  8. Final Utes 90-51 over Arizona State!! Go UTES!!
  9. Avs start out slow against Calgary but made up for it with a 5 goal burst in the 2nd period. I can see why Avs got some extra bodies at the deadline rather than another goalie. Had Lekhonen and Parise out with illness/injuries. Just lost Logan O'Connor for the season (hip surgery). The big line is scoring like a machine. MacKinnon kept up his points and will pass his own scoring record with one more goal. Nichushkin picked up where he left off, has helped the power play get back on track. Mikko had 4 points last night as well. Now tonight will be in Vancouver, this should be a big game.
  10. I do miss Pat Foley, his voice was unique and loved his sense of humor.
  11. I think he was just visiting, he's on NHL Network frequently so that's his steady job. You don't like Pang? Holy jumpin' really? I think he's funny but can only take him in short (ha ha) segments.
  12. Just watched a replay from that game and realized Stu was in the announcing booth...

    The Worst of Rush

    Overall I agree with these, I do like Madrigal (I named a cat after it ). Chemistry I didn't like at first but have come to enjoy it. Roll the Bones is fun and I like the percussion in High Water. I am a Vapor trails fan so I don't mind Stars look down however I skip Sweet Miracle most of the time. BU2B so many pan it I just see it as a segue into the next song. Superconductor is the most cringe worthy song for me.
  14. Wow, that was fast and funky. Some good players, know Jamie Glaser on guitar (heard him with JLP) and Marcus Miller on bass. Didn't really hear the background vocals Chaka Khan and Diane Reeves would be quite the team. Thanks for sharing
  15. This trade deadline is just crazy. AVS got Middlestadt from Buffalo but lose Byram to them. (Backstory Byram probably asked to be traded, he and Dylan Cousins were team mates in juniors). Avs need another center so let's hope he pans out. Then Johanson goes to Philly for Walker, and 2 more guys who I have no idea why they got them Guentzel did get moved to the Canes, rumors are Sullivan will be gone at the end of the season. A couple more hours left, it will be interesting to see who gets who in the last hours.
  16. I didn't like Jane Eyre the first time I read it but after multiple readings, I have come to like it a lot. Jane is really a strong person in such a harsh world and it was easy to root for her. I don't know if you like re-tellings but I found a fun series years ago called the Eyre Affair. It is set in a time where people can actually interact with characters from literature. Thursday Next is a Lit Detective and through a complicated set of events, Rochester appears to her and asks her to help him get Jane back from a kidnapper. It is so clever and funny with lots of inventive ideas and inside jokes. I started laughing from the first page on.
  17. How are you holding up with all the snow dumps in the last 10 days? It's been weird here. First unseasonably warm about 10 days ago 60's. Then lots of rain in the valley, snow piling up in the mountains (avalanches galore). To the first of this week, crazy winds. Some areas by the GSL had 65 mph, we got 35 mph and seeing yard furniture blowing down the street. Now we are back to warm again, puddles. It's like the old saying, wait 10 minutes and the weather will change....boy howdy.
  18. Avs keep their winning home record going. MacKinnon is now tied again with Kucherov for the scoring lead. Happy Cale got a goal, he'd had a dry spell. And that stop on Bedard, way to go Annunen! Sorry, didn't mean to rub it in.... After that awful loss in Nashville Saturday this was much better to watch.
  19. I don't give them grief, I just don't get covering yourself in ink that will degrade and look bad.
  20. Happy Birthday Treeduck Keep on rockin'
  21. Can relate, my niece and her boyfriend showed us their new tattoos and I couldn't think of anything to say. I remember when it was only sailors and other sub groups that had tattoos. It wasn't viewed as a positive thing at that time to have them so I guess I am just an old fuddy duddy.
