| Smyth’s star shining in Colorado | | 2008-08-24 17:27:13 | | Originally published in Eishockey News in 2007
By Lucas Aykroyd
It’s no wonder Ryan Smyth feels so comfortable with the Colorado Avalanche. After all, during his 11 seasons with the Edmonton Oilers, the gritty left winger scored more points against Colorado than any other NHL club (41).
Make no mistake, Smyth still has strong ties to the Alberta [...] | | By: Hockey Adventure | | |

| | Web Grades: Colorado Senate | | 2008-06-30 21:05:47 | | Today, we examined campaign websites from the Colorado Senate race pitting Democratic Congressman Mark Udall against former House Republican Bob Schaffer. Don't forget to check out our previous web grades as well.Mark Udall (markudall.com)The Udall campaign breaks with the standard red, white, and blue motif, opting for a somewhat bland tan palette. The site has a modern look and feel that includes all the relevant features we're looking for. Viewers are greeted with a rotating series of images and links on the main page, which also includes links to the latest blog posts, campaign videos, and upcoming events.The biography section includes Udall's personal history as well a page touting his bipartisan record in Congress. The issues section is very impressive. Udall writes at length on 23 topics, including information on relevant past votes as well as future plans.

| | | Article I Can't Read: Colorado Signs Swedish Bad Boy | | 2008-06-12 13:04:41 | |
Who is Per Ledin? Apparently, he's a Swedish hockey player who, according to every single thing I've read about him in the last two and a half minutes, is an "agitator." I wonder how much agitating one can do in the National Hockey League if one only speaks Swedish.
Cue the Swedish Chef jokes. Du Bork Bork.
This is all over the HF Boards and the Avs forum right now, so I had to jump on. Word is that Ledin has signed a $600,000, one-year, one-way contract with the Avs. One-way means he won't be playing in the minors, kiddos.
According to the article:
Per Ledin, 29, är framme vid målet – en plats i NHL.
Nästa säsong spelar han för Peter Forsbergs klubb Colorado.
Ledin tog sitt andra SM-guld i våras med HV 71. Hans framfart i slutspelet gav eko till förbundskapten Bengt-Åke Gustafsson som tog med grovjobbare Ledin till VM i Kanada.

| | Cultural Chaos In Colorado: Ritter Signs S.B. 200 | | 2008-05-30 10:20:00 | | I knew this was going to eventually happen. But no one believes an obviously "bigoted" Conservative. Nope. Can't believe him. But now it has happened. Colorado Gov. Bill Ritter has gone ahead and signed S.B. 200. And thanks to a little clause at the end, there's apparently no recourse.Some crap about being enacted in the cause of emergency.Right,.......But I'm betting that NAMBLA, GLAAD, GLESN, and all those other obscene organizations are about to enjoy a veritable feast of kiddie flesh, courtesy of the "bought and paid for" Colorado Legislation. I suppose millionaire gay activist Tim Gill and the rest of his radical friends are about to be bombarded with thank you cards from these groups. Why? Because it was their money (through mass campaign contributions) that bought this decision.And it's not likely that the Colorado Supreme Courts will do anything about it as they have a pretty "liberal" reputation as well.So, now, NO PUBLIC DOMAIN can refuse a male from using a females restroom. | | By: Hoopy Frood Dude | | |

Senate Watch: ColoradoDemocrat Mark Udall and Republican Bob Schaffer both launched their ad campaigns this week and now two outside groups are getting in on the act as well.

| | | | | | Colorado Needs "Water Day" Earth Day Reflections | | 2008-04-22 08:59:31 | | The different domains of the globe can be separated by categories: earth, air, and water. Earth Day celebrates all three domains collectively in an attempt to encourage each of us to nurture and respect our own relationship with the environment. But in Colorado there seems to be a more pressing concern, our water, or better said, the lack of it.Yesterday afternoon I watched a small dark grey plume of smoke over a ridge in Castle Rock. I later learned that two residential homes were burned but at the time I felt the sickening dread of "fire season". My family was intimately involved in the Hayman Fire in 2000. Dread, fueled by slippery winds and erratic fire paths, toyed with our emotions and our property for days. Would we be spared? Sadly we watched acres of gorgeous Colorado mountain terrain be swallowed up in a voracious fireball.Our arid climate not only fuels fires but also the pine beetle devastation that has stripped our ski slopes, leaving the scrawny brown remains of the once | | By: Safe Green Living | | |

| | Impression from the 8th Annual Aikido Summit at the Denver Buddhist Temple in Denver, Colorado – March 22nd 2008 | | 2008-04-07 14:07:00 | | Edgar Johannsen Sensei's personality and drive is, perhaps, the only reason that the Colorado Aikido Summit has come to fruition once again. It is only because of Edgar's amiable, easy going disposition that he is able to successfully blend with all the diverse personalities in the Colorado Aikido community and bring us all together each year to share in our similarities and learn from our differences. The Aikido Summit is a great place for younger Aikido students to experience a wide array of Aikido styles once they have attained their black belt and created a foundation from which to build. It is also an opportunity for more veteran black belts to get refocused on their own training and decide what aspects to develop on in the coming year. Having attended several previous Colorado Aikido Summits, this year's was in many ways very much the same as years past. Therefore, it was my responsibility to be sure that I took away from it something new and different. The Aikido styles repres | | By: Castle Rock Aikido | | |
| | Find Colorado Farmers' Markets | | 2008-04-06 10:00:39 | | The Colorado gold rushes filled many with hopes of wealth and encouraged them to go to great lengths to pan for rare gold nuggets. Today, living in a state where most think vegetables and fruits come from a major grocery store, I feel like the dedicated gold seeker as I look for fresh, locally grown early spring produce.The longer spring days are urging my body to find local produce that still has its water and nutrient content in abundance. Because our climate is not like California or Florida, most of us have to wait until June or July to shop our local markets. At least that is what I used to think but Santa Fe has a winter farmer's market. I haven't been yet, but I am curious to see what is available there. Maybe Coloradan's just aren’t that committed to local produce.Thankful a few hearty souls open the farmer's markets early so I plan to show up right away to see what is available.Boulder's Farmers Market opens April 5, 2008 Fort Collins' Farmers Market opens April 19, 2008High | | By: Safe Green Living | | |

| | Eating Local in Colorado | | 2008-03-31 06:17:43 | | The Colorado growing season is starting to take root and I can't wait. Last summer my husband and I visited a local farm using "zero impact" agriculture methods to grow the most delicious, satisfying local produce I've ever tasted. When I eat fresh organic vegetables and fruits I need to keep a napkin handy because they burst with water and flavor. Organic vegetables and fruits make conventional fruits and vegetables taste like Styrofoam blocks in comparison to organic live foods. I didn’t think eating vegetables could taste any better until I tried the produce from Willow Grove Farms in Castle Rock, Colorado. Located just off Highway 85, Willow Grove Farms is oddly sandwiched between Castle Pines and a large new-home development in Castle Rock called The Meadows.Willow Grove is a sustainable farm whose compact rows of vegetables and herbs takes up little space and minimal water but provides ample supply and abundant flavor.

One potential advantage for today's auction shoppers is inventory. The number of foreclosed properties is clearly on the rise.

A hit by Lemieux was made on Draper and many became filled with woe.
The rivalry between Colorado and Detroit then had just begun
Although many of the original players are no longer there, the feeling is not gone.
Darren McCarty, the Wings' enforcing man,
Went after Lemieux to the excitement of Detroit's fans.
The Avalanche did not react to this well,
On the fight's replays were where everyone's opinions dwelled.
On these events, Detroit took Kris Draper's side.
Their emotions and thoughts, the players did not hide.
Colorado was upset about McCarty and their feelings did not go unheard,
The media made sure they captured and recorded every single word.
Three times the goalies came out to center ice to fight
Each time they fought, further the rivalry did ignite.
Nicknames were given to the worst battle of all,
Such as 'Bloody Wednesday, Fight Night at the Joe' and worse describing the brawl.

| | Why Pursue Colorado Lasik Refractive Eye Surgery Anyway? | | 2008-02-01 06:19:00 | | It goes like this: if you have an eye condition (namely hyperopia, myopia, or astigmatism), you have the option of pursuing a Colorado Lasik refractive eye surgery procedure so that you have no need of corrective prosthesis like contact lenses or eyeglasses anymore. A Colorado Lasik procedure is basically the laser eyesight correction procedure done in a Colorado eye surgeon’s clinic or in a hospital.Lasik eye surgery maybe just one of the disciplines your Colorado Lasik eye surgeon specializes in. The Colorado Lasik doctor may also specialize in other forms of laser eye surgery (namely Epi-Lasik, LASEK, and PRK.) If you are scared of undergoing Lasik eye surgery at your Colorado Lasik eye surgeon’s clinic, or if the Colorado Lasik doctor doesn’t feel that is the most appropriate medical procedure you should undergo, try asking if custom Lasik or monovision Lasik are better for you.[ lasik , lasek , lasic ]One thing you should never do is agree to a Colorado Lasik refractive eye | | By: LASIK. | | |

| | Englewood Author’s Novel Inspired by Colorado Castle Owner | | 2008-01-15 19:45:30 | | A Scottish castle brimming with European antiques is not what you would expect to see in Northern Douglas County. Nor would you expect to run into over 3,000 acres of pristine undeveloped land just east of Castle Pines Village. Even odder, this castle and the land was owned and governed by a Southern belle who raised cattle.Colorado's beauty and sunny days attract all sorts of people with interesting pasts and Tweet Kimble brought her life steeped in European culture to our Rocky Mountain State.Englewood author Corinne Joy Brown was one of the last writers to interview Tweet before she died in 1999. Tweet's character was so strong and so fascinating to Corinne that Tweet served as the inspiration for her historic novel "MacGregor's Lantern." The castle Tweet owned was modeled after Scottish castles. During the research for Corinne's book, Corinne discovered that the Scots dominated in the ranching industry in Colorado and Wyoming. It may have been this influence that encouraged the castle design at Cherokee Ranch.Maggie Dowling is the main character in MacGregor's Lantern. Her determination is reminiscent of the stories people still tell about Tweet Kimble. Maggie moved out West, accepting an engagement proposal from one of her father's clients. She expected adventure, which she certainly encountered but it wasn’t packaged the way she expected.Many women during the late 1800’s also traveled west with their husbands or to meet up with their fiancés and many found the western frontier too difficult to bear so they returned home. Returning home was never an option in Maggie's mind. She committed to the decision and for better or worse, she was going to see that decision through. This story combines independence and determination with usual western flair.I love reading stories about strong, determined women, so I gladly encourage you to MacGregor's Lantern by Corinne Joy Brown.If you live in Colorado or when you plan a visit, make sure you take a tour of Ch | | By: Famiss - Women's Success Literature & History | | |
| | Industry generated $24.3B in Colorado | | 2008-01-14 18:41:00 | | Colorado's commercial real estate industry had less of an economic impact in 2006, but still accounted for more than 10.5 percent of the state's economic output, according to a new study. The study, by the Colorado chapter of the National Association of Industrial and Office Properties (NAIOP), found that the sector generated $24.3 billion last year. That figure is slightly lower than the commercial real estate sector's average performance in the state, because of the current construction downturn.

The church’s 11 a.m. service had recently ended and hundreds of people were milling about when the gunman opened fire. Nearby were parents picking up their children from nursery.

| | | New Uniforms: Toronto Sticks To Tradition, Colorado Screws The Pooch | | 2007-09-13 06:04:00 | | Well, there were two RBK Edge "uniform system" unveilings yesterday, with one being a minor success and the other an unmitigated disaster. First of all, let me congratulate the five of the Original Six for their conservative approach to the new jersey designs. Sure, some would argue that the past is boring, but the past is what gives all professional sports the meaning they have. That and steroids. But mostly it's a respect for tradition that ties fans together and gives a sport its cultural weight. Boston, the Rangers, Detroit, Montreal and now Toronto have all maintained their uniform traditions with subtle, hard-to-notice changes to old-school looks. Response among Maple Leafs fans has been generally positive so far. The Blackhawks, the only team that could conceivably ruin the streak, release their new look tomorrow on September 14th. Let's hope for the best.On the flip side is the Colorado Avalanche. They screwed up big time. Like Florida, Nashville and the Islanders b | | By: Dear Lord Stanley | | |
| | Colorado Elementary School Bans the Game of Tag | | 2007-08-30 23:05:03 | | After giving this issue some thought, I have come to the conclusion that instead of deciding to ban the game of Tag from the school, more emphasis should have been focusing upon the inappropriate bullying behavior of the particular children who were involved.
I've said this countless times in my life - every single school in every single district in our country should have a designated class that deals with the subject of bullying and its negative effects.

| | Castle Rock Colorado Residents Over 50 Taking Up Martial Arts | | 2007-08-08 15:27:00 | | There's something strange going on in Castle Rock. Residents over fifty years old are beginning to practice a Japanese martial art called Aikido (pronounced 'eye-key-doh').Aikido isn't exclusively for men and women over fifty, but Aikido does seem to have an affinity for that age group. "I think it is because Aikido is a great form of exercise and a powerful form of self-defense, but still allows you to go to work on each morning without being covered in bruises and broken bones," says instructor Jeff Albright.Husband and wife instructors Jeff and Miho Albright don't seem surprised that their Aikido program is attracting people over fifty. "We have a tendency to attract more a intellectual, mature and introspective student, which may come with age, I suppose" he continued. "Our students really are here to become better people. It makes it a pleasure to teach them and we learn so much from them, as well." According to the instructors, there are no young, "hot-heads" with a chip on their shoulder in the program. "When those kind of people do show up, they tend not to stay," said Miho Albright. "Our program attracts people that are interested in having fun and growing personally, not people who are interested in learning how to hurt others."Jeff and Miho say that working adults tend to get forget that it is important for them to play, too. It's important for their health, their fitness, their mental state and even their social life. Aikido is a great opportunity to cover all of these needs. "Kids already have so many different activities to choose from. Our program is specifically targeted to adults," says Miho. "We allow teenagers 15-17 to participate, if they demonstrate the necessary maturity, but so far, we're an all adult program. Our focus is on providing adults with a fun, friendly, and physical environment to de-stress and grow as people."Castle Rock Aikido also tailors to adults by holding weekday classes in the evenings. Classes don't start until 8 p.m. This allows adults to come home from work, eat something, spend time with children, and then go practice Aikido for an hour or so. "This approach has been very successful for us. We seem to be fulfilling a real need in many Castle Rock households," Sensei Jeff continued.When most adults think of a martial arts school, they often think of children's classes, colorful belts, and pre-arranged fighting forms performed against imaginary opponents. Walk into many martial art schools and you'll hear loud shouts, screams, and grunts and if you look at the faces of many students you'll see a lot of brooding and grimacing. This Aikido program in Castle Rock is different. The predominant sound in class isn't shouting, but laughter. And, if you look around the room you see nothing but wide, bright smiles. Sensei Jeff Albright appeared to be quite serious when he said, "Aikido has a tendency to produce extreme happiness in people."While many martial arts have an age-related shelf life (like many professional sports do), Aikido is a life long practice. Aikido doesn't adversely discriminate with age. While much more dynamic than yoga, Aikido is similar to yoga in that you tend to get better, not worse, as you get older. "One of our teachers back in Japan is over 80 years old and still practices Aikido daily," says Sensei Miho. Furthermore, like yoga, Aikido contributes to health and longevity by helping to keep the body limber.Aikido strongly promotes and emphasizes body awareness. It is a way of physically reconnecting with yourself. By practicing Aikido, you learn to recognize just how much people have lost touch with their bodies, their senses, and for some people, their spirit. Aikido truly reawakens a spark of life long forgotten by many working adults. And, it does this without causing pain or injury.Student Gary S., 56, shared that "As I get older, I think about how I might maintain my balance, agility and coordination. As a health care professional I see many older people who have fallen and broken bones, in particular their hips. This happens, in part, because of a diminished sense of balance, a loss of agility. Aikido, through its repeated practice of centered movements, can help prevent such injuries by helping to maintain agility and a strong sense of balance."Paul P., 51, another health care professional at Parker Adventist Hospital, is attracted to Aikido because of it's non-competitive nature and relaxed atmosphere while still providing a good workout and good means of self-defense. "We accomplish an awful lot in a hour long class" says Paul. The low risk of injury played a significant role in his decision to practice Aikido, too. "Because of my profession, I need to be able to go to work the next day without injury. Aikido let's me do just that. Plus, I feel refreshed and revitalized after each class."Doug S., 55, has studied other martial arts in the past, however he prefers Aikido because of its more natural, flowing blend of form and function. "It's powerful, but graceful at the same time," says Doug. "And, it's really great for stress relief. When I'm grumpy after a long day at work, Aikido is a great way to focus on something non-work related for a while."Castle Rock Aikido is currently located inside Omega Gymnastics at 1609 Park Street in Castle Rock. You are welcome to come watch or try a class for free anytime.

| | Samurai Descendant Teaches in Castle Rock, Colorado | | 2007-08-07 20:15:00 | | Miho Shiraki Albright teaches the samurai sword and the Japanese martial art of Aikido in Castle Rock. However, she wasn't always in Colorado. Born and raised in Kitakyushu, a town in the Southern Japan Prefecture of Fukuoka, Miho is a descendant of a long line of samurai warriors of feudal Japan.Samurai were a class of Japanese military nobility who served a feudal lord and/or the Japanese Emperor. The word samurai derives from the Japanese verb "samorau," which means "to serve." Samurai came into power as a warrior class in the early 12th century and were subsequently disbanned, virtually becoming extinct, in the late 1880s with the fall of the feudal system of Japan and the rise of industry and westernization. This dramatic shift in culture was beautifully depicted in the 2003 film, The Last Samurai, starring Tom Cruise.Growing up, Miho had heard stories about her family's ancestors being pacifist, Shinto priests. What she didn't really know until recently was why did those ancestors become Shinto priests in the first place? Miho was somewhat surprised to discover that her ancestors hadn't always been priests, but, in fact, were from a long line of samurai warriors of feudal Japan. Miho's mother told her about samurai of the Shiraki family who had left the samurai class and became pacifists to atone for their violent past.Miho's family name of Shiraki has an interesting story itself. In Japan, carrying on a family name is of the utmost importance. Being a first-born son and head of a family unit is a very coveted position in Japanese culture. Being a first-born son is so coveted that second or later born sons will often marry women from families who have no sons and take the surname of the wife's family. Through marriage, the husband then becomes the prestigious, first-born son of the wife's family (albeit the first-born son- in-law). Miho's ancestors went through a similar experience.Sometime between 1100 and 1800 lived this samurai-turned-Shinto priest family named Shiraki. This particular family had no children, yet it was still very important to them to carry on the name of Shiraki. So they did something somewhat unorthodox, at the time. Since they had no children, they arranged for a marriage between a second family with only a daughter and a third family with a second-born son. In return for arranging this marriage, the families of the young couple agreed to take on and perpetuate the priests' family name of Shiraki. This was a mutually beneficial arrangement for the two families since the Shiraki priests were the keepers of a highly respected Shinto shrine in Southern Japan, Munakata Taisha shrine of Kyushu. The newly married couple (Miho's ancestors) inherited responsibility for this shrine.Much like her samurai/shinto priest ancestors, Miho, too, did something very unorthodox. In 1996, she married a "gaijin", or foreigner - an American, no less.Dr. Jeff Albright, DC (who practices Japanese Acupuncture in Castle Rock) and Miho Shiraki were married in Japan over ten years ago and, congruent with both American and Japanese culture, Miho took the surname of Jeff (a first-born son himself). In Japan, there are no hyphenated last names, nor any middle names. So Miho somewhat reluctantly gave up her Shiraki family name. However, while living in the United States, Miho has chosen to honor her ancestors by making Shiraki her middle name.Miho's family also has a very unique family crest. Japanese family crests are almost always circular and named after the male's family. However, Miho's family crest is a three-pronged white tree surrounded by a hexagon. The hexagon shape emphasizes the female elements in Japanese crest symbology. Use of the hexagon, instead of the traditional circle for the family crest appears to have been part of the agreement made between the three families at the time of the unorthodox marriage. This was meant to honor the Shiraki family name and the unique family arrangement made by these three families to carry on the name of Shiraki. The family crest has remained unchanged in Miho's family since this unique joining of families. Today, Miho & Jeff continue to use the Shiraki symbol as their personal family crest as well as the logo for the Aikido martial arts school they teach at in Castle Rock.Miho, and her husband Jeff, teach a samurai sword class on Sunday afternoons and Aikido throughout the week. In class, students use traditional, wooden Japanese practice-swords, called bokken.

| | Série mexicana “Chapolin Colorado” vai virar longa animado | | 2007-07-20 06:55:11 | | Pela primeira vez o popular personagem do humorista mexicano Roberto Gómez Bolaños, o Chapolin Colorado, será levado ao cinema em uma versão de desenhos animados.
O anúncio do filme foi feito hoje por Roberto Gómez Fernández, produtor televisivo e filho do humorista. Ele também informou que em dois meses começará a pré-produção do filme.
Fernández definiu o Chapolin Colorado como “um herói atual digno de exportação para toda a América Latina e os Estados Unidos” e disse que o longa será co-produzido por Carlos Gutiérrez com animação computadorizada.
No entanto, Fernández preferiu não falar sobre números específicos do custo da produção cinematográfica, argumentando “questões legais” e só afirmou que será uma soma elevada.
Por enquanto, as imagens e o roteiro do filme estão sob cláusula de sigilo, mas o filho do “Chaves” adiantou que se trata de “uma história que recupera a essência do Chapolin Colorado como h | | By: Marcelo's Blog | | |

Welcome to the July 16, 2007 edition of Colorado Politics.
Turnout for this carnival was not what I’d hoped, which is probably my fault for not yet having constructed an official carnival homepage. And because of this limited turnout– which was low but non-zero– I’ve decided to co-opt some exemplary posts from around the web.
The carnival is open to any Colorado Blogger writing politics, or to any other blogger writing about politics in Colorado or about its national Senators and Representatives.

| | Colorado Draft Pick Recap, Saturday Blog Post Orgy Continues | | 2007-06-23 21:50:00 | | With all seven rounds of the draft now over, nine new players have joined the Colorado Avalanche system. Most of them will play more time in their local beer leagues than in the National Hockey League. Statistically speaking, only a small number of the 200 or more young players chosen in the NHL Entry Draft every year actually make it to the NHL, and even fewer become stars. The majority play most of their careers in the minor leagues and then unceremoniously retire while still fairly young. Such is life in all professional sports, not just hockey. Since fame and notoriety will likely escape most of them, it's my duty to give these young players at minimum the glory of a Dear Lord Stanley blog post, so I'll run down the list of new Avalanche prospects one at a time. Hopefully their mothers, at least, will be proud.I already profiled first round pick Kevin Shattenkirk here.

| | Senate Watch: How Blue Is Colorado? | | 2007-06-11 21:23:00 | | Following the January announcement that incumbent Republican Senator Wayne Allard would not seek re-election in 2008, the battle for his Colorado Senate seat is set to become perhaps the most competitive in the country. Allard is currently the only 2008 Senate incumbent to have announced retirement, providing Democrats with their best opportunity to pick up a seat. The race will likely test the strength of the recently resurgent Democratic Party in Colorado against the Republican history of the state.Both parties appear to have their nominees--Mark Udall for the Democrats and Bob Schaffer for the Republicans. Udall currently represents Colorado's liberal 2nd District, consisting of Boulder and some Denver suburbs, and was easily re-elected in 2006, with nearly 70% of the vote. He is part of a powerful political family that includes his father, former presidential candidate and Arizona Congressman Mo Udall, as well as cousins Tom Udall, a Democratic representative from New Mexico, and | | By: Political Realm | | |
| | The Colorado Avalanche will have a brand-spankin... | | 2007-05-08 20:50:00 | | The Colorado Avalanche will have a brand-spankin' new AHL affiliate next season, and they don't even have to share this time! The Lake Erie Monsters, who play in Cleveland (sorry about their luck), are already gearing up for their first hockey campaign.The Avs named Joe Sacco as Monsters head coach and Sylvain Lefebvre* as assistant coach. Sacco was an assistant at the last two Colorado AHL affiliates---Lowell and Albany.With a strong lineup that will likely include young standouts like TJ Hensick, Ray Macias, Codey Burki and Michael Wall, the Monsters should have a strong first season. And hopefully, Sacco's proven development efforts provide even more talented young players for the Avs.And now, to think of a clever nickname for the team mascot. How about "Boggy" or "Steamer"?*The photo of Lefebvre shows him wearing the team captain's C for the Avalanche during a game in the 1997-98 season while filling in for an injured Joe Sakic.

| | Colorado 5, Edmonton 1 | | 2007-03-22 22:23:00 | | The Avs swept into Edmonton last night and crushed the Oilers with ease, improving their record over the last ten games to 9-0-1. Not that beating the Oilmen is really that big of a deal, as the former team of Ryan Smyth has apparently all but packed their bags and permanently left the proverbial building. They've lost twelve straight games.As for the Avalanche, they continue on their make-the-playoffs-or-die-trying tear, chasing down the on-again, off-again Flames of Calgary.It's cool to see Colorado doing so well, but one has to ask, where the hell were they the rest of the season? Why are they still four points out of the playoffs after going 9-0-1 in the last ten games?Hello?What is particularly telling is which Avalanche players haven't been playing during this impressive streak.
