Chicago (8-5-1) at Colorado (11-3-2)

Despite some poor attendance figures, the Colorado Avalanche couldn't ask for a better start at home.

The Avalanche look to match a team record for consecutive home wins to open a season Friday night against the Chicago Blackhawks, who could have captain Jonathan Toews back on the ice.

Colorado (11-3-2) improved to 5-0 at the Pepsi Center by avoiding a third straight overall loss with a 4-1 victory over Phoenix on Wednesday. Since the franchise moved from Quebec to Denver, only the 2007-08 squad began the season with six consecutive wins at home.

After posting a Western Conference-low 69 points last season, the Avalanche are tied for the top spot in the West, thanks in part to outscoring opponents 20-8 at home.

YAHOO! Preview...

Not looking so hot right now with JT still out of the lineup. Facing a Avalanche team that has yet to loose in their barn...

CHI	TEAM	COL
2.86	GOALS	3.06
2.43	GA	2.19
15.52	PP%	20.97
85.45	PK%	86.96
33.29	SHOTS OFF	25.31
22.71	SHOTS DEF	32.88
0.43	GOAL DEF	0.88

I hope Niemi gets the start, and the Avalanche get their first loss at home.

Even with Sakic gone I think this team will be damn. Too many are underestimating them.

They usually don't play like shit back to back. Hawks win 4-1. Niemi probably with the start.

Hawks REALLY miss JT...the more I see them play without him, the more convinced I am He is every bit the leader a young Messier or Sakic or Yzerman were.

deth - you need to provide a single prediction otherwise, should you be correct on one of those, it wont count towards your yearly total and potential prize.

I dont know. I dont have a very good feeling about tonight. Colorado's off to a hell of a start (which realistically they wont be able to sustain) and Chicago just seems to be a hit-or-miss team right now - and a bit lost without Toews.

Chicago loses 4-1 (although I'm tempted to go with a shutout).

of course, I could be like deth:

If Chicago scores 3 and the Avs score 5 -
Hawks 3
Nordiques 5

If Chicago scores 1 and the Avs score 2 -
Hawks 1
Nordiques 2

If the Hawks don't score, and the Avs score 6 times, is it a tie?

Pretty crazy that the Avs have the best record in the West and only 11K showed up to their last game.
The O-Fence is not finishing right now. Ton of chances last night though so it's not like things are just not there. Just need to finish baby!

Hawks - 2
Nordiques - 1

If Huet in Goal Col 5 - Chi 2 ====>>>> COL WINS

If Niemmi in Goal Col 2 - CHI 5 ====>>>> CHI WINS

Huet's Excuse:
HE IS STILL HAVING STOMACH ACHE FROM LAUGHING

. HE NEVER THOUGHT THAT THE HAWKS OR ANYBODY, WOULD REALLY OFFER HIM THAT BIG CONTRACT.

That's an Argument !!
