Law of averages. It's *the law*, man.

i've got to admit i'm a little scared for tomorrow. this is a young fast team with a lot of talent we're playing against. it's going to be a good test for us.

Colorado is -8 in goal differential. How long before Patrick straps on his old pads? Well, maybe in practice.

Colorado is a young team, themselves. They are definitely struggling. And they will be tired -- three games in four nights on the road.

Must. Win. Home. Opener.

No choice.

I assume that  gets the nod in goal.

Cowen, Condra, and Hoffman likely to be the scratches.

Tough game coming up here, I think.

Should be a tough test.

Looks like it could be tough one.

Sophomore coach jinx.
Sophomore forward jinx.
Third game in four nights
On the road.


Plus, "The Winch" is still out with a concussion. Easy 'W'.

Any western conference team (not in Alberta) will be tough for the majority of eastern teams.

Calgary just beat Chicago. Did they move from Alberta recently?

To be fair, Prags, Hiller had to stop 49 shots for that W. It was a bit of a fluke.
