WatchWade Belak had a little tour with the Avalanche and was tough as nails. He kept the old-scholl alive in a very modern game.

WatchI 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.

If any of you are into looking up past Avalanche players be sure to follow this guy @spodein : One of the #avs past that I have the utmost respect for Shjon Podein and his charity @Team25
Not that Shjon needs any extra “cool guy” credit. But, you may recall he wore his uniform for like 48 hours after winning the Stanley Cup with he Avalanche. Somehow, that’s pure class!
