DENVER -- Gabriel Landeskog will think twice about engaging in fights with opposing goaltenders.The reason is painfully simple: That blocker hurts ... and hes got a mask to protect himself, the Colorado captain cracked.Soon after exchanging some shoves with Minnesota goalie Devan Dubnyk, Landeskog got the ultimate retaliation -- the winning goal. Landeskog scored with 9:37 remaining, Calvin Pickard stopped 32 shots for his second NHL shutout and the Avalanche beat the Minnesota Wild 1-0 on Saturday.It didnt come easy for us, thats for sure, Avalanche coach Jared Bednar said.Nothing seems to these days for the Avalanche, who won for the second time in six games.Landeskogs power-play goal ended a Colorado scoring drought that lasted more than 164 minutes. He found the net on a pass from Matt Duchene and then hopped into the arms of Nathan MacKinnon in excitement.Earlier in the third period, Landeskog got into a brief scuffle with Dubnyk after agitating the goalie in front of the net. That seemed to swing the momentum into Colorados favor. A jarring hit by John Mitchell near the blue line didnt hurt, either.Those two instances energized our crowd, which energized us, Bednar said. You knew they were going to have a push.The Wild did at that.With Dubnyk on the bench for an extra skater, Charlie Coyle knocked in a shot with 48.9 seconds remaining, but it was disallowed because of goaltender interference. The officials ruled that Minnesota forward Eric Staal pushed Avalanche defenseman Erik Johnson into Pickard.How good of call that was depends on the side thats asked.The goalie was in a terrible position, Staal said. We made a huge play on it. They gave them the benefit of the doubt on it.Pickard had a different take.You could see their guy kind of pushed E.J. into me, Pickard explained. I think thats the criteria for goalie interference -- doesnt let me do my job. I couldnt slide over there.Pickards most opportunistic save of the night was with 5 minutes remaining, when he closed his pads at the last second to save a shot from trickling in.It was a big save for me, said Pickard, whose other shutout was Jan. 14 against New Jersey. We had a really good game all the way through.Dubnyk mixed it up Landeskog after the two were jostling in front of the net early in the third period. Dubnyk put Landeskog in a headlock as players raced over to separate them. Dubnyk was called for slashing and roughing while Landeskog drew only a roughing penalty. The Avalanche didnt score on the power play chance.I gave him a whack and he gave me a whack and we gave each other a few shots and somehow I ended up with one, said Dubnyk of drawing the extra penalty. That seemed to be how they did the third period there. Not a big deal. Its always a tough game when we play these guys. Its part of the game. Theres emotion in the game.The Wild were called for two penalties on one play early in the second period. First, Ryan Suter slashed Blake Comeau with the Colorado forward on a breakaway. As Comeau went into the boards, Matt Dumba was whistled for a cross-checking penalty. Colorado a two-man advantage for a full two minutes, but never challenged Dubnyk.Wild coach Bruce Boudreau wasnt pleased.I thought there were some pretty cheesy penalties out there, Boudreau said.Game notes Minnesota LW Zach Parise and D Marco Scandella both missed a third game with lower-body injuries. ... Avalanche RW Jarome Iginla played in his 1,484th NHL game to tie Rod BrindAmour for 19th on the career list. ... Mikko Rantanen took a puck in the face during the first period and briefly went into the locker room for treatment. He had the second assist on Landeskogs goal. ...

Tigers vulnerabilityA good bit of soul searching and honest reflection went into Tiger Woods decision to skip last weeks Safeway Open with the rare admission that his game was vulnerable, causing the golf world to shutter.Now after more than a week has passed to allow all that to absorb, perhaps the good to come out of all of this is that Woods has finally allowed himself to lower his own expectations with a hint to the masses that they should follow.This comeback was never going to be easy, regardless of the time, place or state of Woods game. Two back procedures in consecutive months followed by no meaningful golf for six more? More than a years worth of professional golf events played without him? The lost practice time? The toll that it takes mentally?All of that adds up to a healthy dose of perspective as it relates to how Woods will look when he does come back, which he now hopes will be the Hero World Challenge in December. Nobody, himself included, can possibly expect to see any semblance of the Tiger who ruled golf for so long, and that apparently is sinking in with him.Of course, that wont stop us from wanting to see every bit of it, with comments and conjecture and analysis coming from every single angle. It is the downside to being Tiger, and perhaps the reason he is reluctant to return: He knows he is being judged by his past.But if Woods can lower his expectations -- still a big if -- then others should as well. Numerous observers, including players who have undergone back surgery, have commented that returning to any level of competitive golf, let alone the highest, is going to take time.So Woods first tournament back, whether it be the Hero World Challenge or some event in 2017, should not be viewed as some sort of referendum on his game and his future. Its only one tournament, and it might just be the beginning of what is a slow, frustrating process.2. Reinventing TigerIf you happened to catch any of the video that made the rounds last week from a clinic Woods conducted near Pebble Beach, it wasnt hard to notice a golf swing that looked serviceable but one that was far from full speed. You can make too much out of such a thing -- he was giving a clinic, after all -- but it does make you wonder if Woods can play the game differently than the way we are used to seeing.In other words, can he dial it back? Can he better manage his game and not be worried about distance? Can he be effective in that manner while perhaps lessening the physical toll?When Woods was seemingly at his lowest point during last years World Challenge -- unclear when a comeback might take place, if at all -- he addressed how he might reshape his game.If I dont hit it as far, hopefully hit more fairways, Woods said. Understand how to play more iron shots into the correct spots. Ive learned a few more shots around the greens in the past couple years. Implement those in my short game. Putting ... some of the things I was working on at the end of (2015) were starting to click. Its putting all those things together. The game is so fluid. Thats the thing I need to be aware of going forward.In essence, Woods was talking about reinventing himself. Whether he really believes that, or will seek to follow that path, is purely conjecture. It could be that is part of his game plan now as he attempts to return.3. The Tiger clinicHere is how Woods looked on Oct. 11 during a clinic he gave for his foundation at Monterey Peninsula Country Club.4. The Parnevik interviewJesper Parneviks quotes in which he said Woods was flushing it when he saw him earlier this year at The Medalist in South Florida appear in the November issue of Golf Digest. The magazine created a bit of a stir two weeks ago when its website exccerpted those quotes in which Parnevik said Woods was flushing everything and that regarding his comeback something tells me this might be spectacular.ddddddddddddIt heightened the chatter as Woods sought to come back, but Parnevik said in an interview last week that he had seen Woods play in May and that the interview had taken place months ago. I thought his swing was great, Parnevik said. With all the injuries he had been through, his back, he looked really good. But I never saw him all summer. I wish I had more to update.The entire interview with Parnevik is now posted.5. The Phil pairingMuch has been made of Woods being grouped with Phil Mickelson for the first two rounds of the Safeway Open. Such an early-round pairing on the PGA Tour of the longtime rivals had been rare, and some saw it as another reason for Woods to withdraw: He didnt need to be shown up by Mickelson.None other than Mickelson himself squashed that theory. Last week during the Safeway Open, Mickelson acknowledged that he and Woods had spoken about the grouping during the Ryder Cup, and that Tiger was fully on board. He noted that the PGA Tour came to both parties and asked if it would be OK.And it should be pointed out that there would have been no shame in Woods shooting a higher scorer than Mickelson, as tough as it might have been for him to take: It occurred numerous times when they played together over the years.6. Long time comingThe World Golf Hall of Fame announced its latest inductees, who will officially become part of the Class of 2017, and the big question is what took so long for Ian Woosnam? The Welshman will join Davis Love III, Lorena Ochoa, Meg Mallon and writer/broadcaster Henry Longhurst.Woosnam was part of Europes Big Five along with Seve Ballesteros, Nick Faldo, Bernhard Langer and Sandy Lyle. All contributed to the European Ryder Cup resurgence. All won major championships. And all are in the Hall of Fame -- with Woosnam finally joining the others. He had 59 worldwide wins, including 29 on the European Tour, and won the 1991 Masters.7. The PGA Tours Asia SwingA new event in South Korea next fall will bring to three the number of events being staged in Asia as part of the official PGA Tour schedule. This weeks CIMB Classic in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and next weeks WGC-HSBC Champions in China have been officially part of the schedule for the past few years, and now a third option is set to come on board.The Associated Press reported that the PGA Tour will announce the details next week and it is in keeping with the tours desire to enter the Asian market. What will be interesting to see is how the event fits into the already diverse fall schedule that sees the tour this year go from Napa, California, to Kuala Lumpur to Shanghai (with an opposite event in Mississippi) to Las Vegas, to Cancun, Mexico, and then to Sea Island, Georgia.8. This seems kind of cruelDavid Howell hit a pretty good shot during the second round of the British Masters last week on the par-3 13th, one that appeared headed toward the hole.9. Quote of the WeekLeave it to Phil Mickelson to sum things up when asked last week if he expected to be a player on the 2018 U.S. Ryder Cup team, when he will be 48 years old.Its been 22 years since there have been 10 Americans that have been able to beat me [to make the team] so I dont know why it would stop now, he said. I plan on being on the team in France and absolutely one of my goals is to play in France because Ive never been on a winning Ryder Cup team over in Europe. I want to win a Ryder Cup over there and I want to be part of that as a player.
