Avs Win! Plus Alexander Ovechkin's Floating Head of Doom

Avalanche beat Blackhawks in overtime, so at least until Monday, we're undefeated!

Thoughts: Duchene, O'Reilly, Galiardi and Stewart are FAST. Marty Turco looked slow. I'm amazed at how young this team is. Literally, there are only three guys on the team over 30: Foote, Hejduk, and Hannan. That's probably really good in terms of stamina and speed, maybe not so good in terms of the experience needed in the long haul, witness the slow unraveling at the end of last season. Chicago seemed disorganized; I don't think their off-season roster changes did them any favors.  The fact that this is the 15th anniversary of our first Stanley Cup made me feel old. Ow, my sciatica.

I can think of few things more unsettling than opening your school locker and finding the disembodied head of Alexander Ovechkin laughing manically, but apparently CCM thinks it will sell gear. WTF? Actually it is strangely compelling, as you can see here. If you dare. Muhahahahahahaha.
