  2. I want to like this move, but he seems like a mix of Tatar + Drouin. Would love another VGK crossover & their opinion of him! I see his 4pts in 9 playoff games. Has a reputation of not being a defensive guy, & he's small & not physical at all.

  4. Great conversation! Alex Tanguay is way past time to be hanging up there. I honestly think it's one of the big mistakes by the organization, that he's not up there. I agree that Stastny is another that should be up there. I love the topic, but it makes me sick that Tanguay is still waiting. EJ will certainly be the next one to go up though, IMO.

  5. I’m afraid I created a monster now though. 😅 Now, all my niece wants is Avs tickets and apparel (she now wants a Toews jersey to add to her Mack one). Asks all the time when we can go see another game and asks if we can sit right behind the glass 😂 girl has expensive taste for a 6th grader 🤣

  8. 27:00 Yu[p put 9 Duchene in the rafters with an asterisk (A sign on the jersey) "Thanks for the Stanley Cup, your toxic attitude got us this guy" with an arrow pointing to Cale's Jersey which will be retired with a fuck ton of hardware and hopefully at least 1 more Stanley Cup lol

  9. Oh so this is the “giant” signing Avs fans waited on and expected? Very underwhelming. It’s a miracle MacFartin made a move to be honest. Pretty lackluster one too for all that cap they have. This is your dream GM Avs fans? Get f*** real.

  11. Best moments for me was the first Avs season. I worked nights and I listened to the games on the radio with Mike Haynes and Norm Jones, including the four game sweep against Florida. I became a hockey fan during that first season.
