Epic… still loving this move.

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.

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.

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.
