I wouldn't say Dater is a laughing stock at all. A lot of people do read his blog and comment on it, and some of the Avs bloggers tweet back and forth with him a lot. Not sure people around here think he's the greatest thing ever or anything.

I will be missing the game tonight - I do have to wonder what kinds of Twitter fights he will start after seeing what has happened recently.

Oh, and Brad May used to play for the Avalanche for about a season and a half.

BOOM! You're officially my Colorado go-to. I've never liked Dater, and it's nice to hear it from someone MUCH closer to him (geographically) than I am.

Is he a laughing stock in those parts or do they applaud his writing?

The agent is a totally different case. Look at Allan Walsh's Twitter - oh wait, he deleted all those.

But Dater leaps to conclusions from incomplete facts all the time. (Being in Colorado, I see a ton of this.) He is totally capable of attributing the agent's quotes to Quincey without any basis for it. For whatever it's worth, Quincey did deny it when asked, which either means that Dater screwed him or that he is a gutless wuss in addition to a whiner.

Babcock is putting Leino in on the 4th line. I talk about what the staff should have done on my blog, which is bench him still, either call another forward up, or a D-man and play Meech at forward. Send a REAL message.

I'm pretty sure it was me and a second-round pick for Rene Bourque and a 3nd-rounder. With the Flames, we swept the Wings out of the WCF and went on to beat Franzen and the Rangers (who gave up Drury and a third-string goalie for him) in the finals. I broke Mark Staal's jaw in game one and won the Calder and the Conn Smythe.

Playing against the Wings was the most conflicted I'd been in a video game since I let Yoshi run off a cliff so I could grap a 1-up mushroom in Super Mario World.

@JJ -- Who were you traded for? That could determine who won this whole JJ-to-Calgary thing. Also, the yeti DOES kind of look like Garcia, but not MUCH furrier.

@Jenn -- Dater's an idiot, but I'm not sure he would make up entire quotes from a player and his agent. Although... yeah, you're right. It was like the last episode of Roseanne, Dater just typed it up.

@Casey -- thanks for the head's up. It's fixed and I feel retarded for using Ctrl-V.

That doesn't even look like a yeti. It looks like a furry version of Jerry Garcia.

FYI…You have Columbus BJs instead of Colorado Avs for the record part.

Remember it was Dater who had the story about Quincey and the ring. He is wrong so frequently that I honestly don't know how much of that story to believe. Just saying.
