Listening on the radio feed. Ken Kal sounding good as always but whoever this new guy doing the colour commentary is BRUTAL

There is something really satisfying about coming into Colorado on Floppa tribute night and shutting these guys out !

[Guest Shoreline]

Great start to the season boys, keep it up!

[St. Michael (the Red Wing) 422]

Hudler must have gotten sat the last half of that period kept seeing Dats, Hank and Cleary out there together...

That's some seriously sweet icing on the cake.

[Electrophile 3,554]

It sucks that we have to wait until Thursday for another game. Boo.

Also, what's with that ridiculous Taco Bell commercial? Taco Bell is not gourmet food. Don't make it look like something you'd see on Iron Chef.

I'm liking things so far. Howard should have had an SO last night, Conklin gets one tonight, pretty much everyone who struggled at times last season has at least a point so far...good start!

Ah yes the Hud and Zetterberg flip. Tbh I couldn't really tell except now it makes sense watching that second goal. lol. Not the worst of ideas on sitting Holmstrom tonight besides the fact our PP is bogus right now... Good thing is or PK is on the opposite side of the spectrum right now which is great....

Wow. I was so happy when the Wings signed Conks as the BU. Besides Kindle's bonehead play in the !st that Flips took care of, I am really getting excited about this season. Have to say that I impressed how the Avs played. Young team with a lot of energy. Dats still amazes me of what he does every game. Gotta wait 5 days for the next game though.

Nice win.

Powerplay needs some work but an overall solid effort.

[syntax 359]

Great 3rd period.

Was nice to see them put the Avs away, great game by our top line and Conks.

Franzen and Zetterberg goals

I just got home. It was a good time. The jersey retirement was cool to see, but not altogether very special. The crowd was in full-on "Red Wings suck!" mode. They even booed Lidstrom--"Lindstrom" in the Avs vernacular, as displayed on the video screen--when he appeared on the video with a shout-out to Forsberg. Anyway, I retaliated throughout the game by asking those Avs fans around me whom amongst the two teams had made the playoffs last year. When the Wings scored, I hit them with a "Who sucks now?" and managed to make a few of them pretty angry.

The Wings looked slow in the first, good in the second and dominant in the third. The crowd wasn't especially loud at any point, and the Avalanche fans became testy and restless in the third because of the Wings` constant possession of the puck.

Also of note is that the game was not sold out. Given that it was opening night and given that it saw the retirement of one of the Avs` greatest players, it struck me as pretty sad. Anyway, I had a good time.
