Epic… still loving this move.
packed my stuff! still 6 hours til my departure.
btw Merry Christmas !
Wade Belak had a little tour with the Avalanche and was tough as nails. He kept the old-scholl alive in a very modern game.
I had been meaning to check this one out. I think the injury was the real kicker. It was knee on knee and it was unfortunate, but he definitely got em. First penalty minutes of the season for Porter I think.
Avs vs. Oilers - Post Game Rant
Remember the role-players. They knew their roll and they played their roll.
- Who is our enforcer?
- Is Jones really a power forward?
- Do we have an “in front of the net” guy?
- How many parameter playmakers do we need?
Speed kills but it doesn’t win battles in the corners.
I love Hejduk, but he’s a winning teams captain. I’m not sure he’s the grizzled vertin the Avs need mentoring the younger guys.
Forsberg, back in the day was un-stop-a-ble.
I actually like these little video explanations. Shanny looks horrible, but the videos are very interesting.

List of Colorado Avalanche players - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is probably the most up-to-date list of Avs past and present. Really cool to see some of the old names.
"Respect the Stache!"

Did you know that George Parros has a Line of apparel called “Stache Gear” (benefits The Garth Brooks Teammates For Kids Foundation)
All philanthropy aside, that’s kind of funky.
Did you know??? Sandis Ozolinsh opened Latvia’s first 18-hole golf course, Ozo Golf Club. Very cool!
What ever happend to??? Owen Nolan
Nolan wasn’t in the Avalanche uniform long before being traded but he did stick around the league long enough to be known by all as a touch, talented player. Seems that Olan has gone the way of many other NHL’ers including Ray Bourque and Bates Battaglia opening his own Restaurant called The Brit (Britannia Arms) in San Jose.
