Game 5 Preview: Avalanche @ Bruins WOLSKI WOLSKI WOLSKI

(Picture taken last week. No, really, at the 'canes game.)
GAME 5
1 PM ET
Monday, October 12th
vs. Colorado Avalanche (2-1-1)

Notes:

• Dennis Wideman is out with an injured shoulder. Johnny Boychuk should be playing in his first NHL game of the season. Despite seeing Wideman getting turned inside out sometimes, he's an important part of the defense and I'm hoping we don't lose him for a long time.
• We last played Colorado last year on the opening-night-tour road trip last year. We won.
• This is the fifth in the Bruins record 5-game homestand to start the season. They go on the road while the circus comes to town next, though that game against the ducks was pretty clowny.
• Woltek Wolski is up to his usual early-season scoring ways again, leading the avs with 4g 1a through their first four games. In those 4 games, they've beaten the Sharks and Canucks, but lost to the Preds and Blackhawks. Here's to continuing their slide.
  
• The Avs have a new mascot: A St. Bernard. It even has a barrel around it's neck, presumably to help Avs fans black out any memory of last season.
• RAY BOURQUE RAY BOURQUE RAY BOURQUE RAY BOURQUE
• Colorado fans are going to have to wake up early to catch this game: It starts at 11 AM local time for them.
• The last time two boston sports teams played teams from the same area, we lost 6-1 to the ducks and the Sox ended their season. Yesterday the pats lost in overtime (because they forgot how to score in the second half) so, um...shit.
  

Stats:

Every player I've mentioned on the other team so far has scored or otherwise done well, so I figure I'll help my fantasy team with this one:
Woltek Wolski
GO BRUINS!
