Matt Duchene of the Colorado Avalanche Roster

 

Time to take a little peak at all of those Colorado Avalanche Roster Men that we cheer for from the stands! This week we're centering around Matt Duchene, center for the Avs. Duchene is originally from Ontario, Canada and was born in 1991, making him 21 years old. He was drafted third overall in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft by the Colorado Avalanche. He was ranked just as high by the NHL Central Scouting Bureau while playing juniors for the Central ontario Wolves. His 100th career point was recorded in January of 2011 with a goal scored against the Phoenix Coyotes, making him the youngest player in Avalanche franchise history to garner that many points at such a young point in his career. We see great things on the horizon for this adorable hockey center!

Avs Make It...Easier...To Get Some Coloardo Avalanche Tickets

Six losses in eight games = no bueno for the Colorado Avalanche. But it could = muy bueno for you, if you love hockey (or have a little one that loves  hockey) but are sticking to a budget. Why, you ask? Well, let me tell you! When the team isn't playing as hot as fans would like, there's less demand to see a game. Which means prices on those tickets go down. Which means you can either:

a. go to a game and spend less money

b. sit in better seats for the same amount you would have spent.

Now for this Avalanche fanatic, I would opt for numero dos. (aka letter b). But you just have to decide what your ideal situation is! Spend less on seats and more on hot dogs and diet pepsi, or sit down closer to the players so you can try to make eye contact. The choice is yours, loves!

Google Results of "Colorado Avalanche"

I'm not really enjoying what's going on with the Avs right now. Between the Nuckers win this weekend to the Kobasew fine, things aren't all rainbows and unicorns in Avalanche land right now. So instead, I thought I'd google Colorado Avalanche to see what came up in the news. And here's our top five stories. Not what you'd expect, I might add:

1. "Winning Ugly Becoming a Concern for Canucks" - a Canadian article. Sweet.
2. "Technology Saves Woman from Colorado Avalanche" - if you're a backwoods boarder, invest in a backpack airbag.
3. "NHL Fines Avalanche F Kobasew $2500 for tripping Vancouver D Hamhuis" -Just what I didn't want to talk about....
4. "Avalanche Danger High in Colorado Mountains this season" - perhaps due to the foot and a half of snow they got this weekend?
5. "Daily Cupcakes February 6th" - Cupcakes? What? oh...Milehigh Hockey. But cupcakes. I'm so confused. And hungry.
