Tweet So the draft was this weekend eh? Well I missed most of it, as Friday I was on a plane all day instead of following the draft, so I missed most of it. Don't feel too sorry for me though, I was returning from Waikiki Beach. Ok don't feel sorry for me at all. I was home on Saturday but I chose to spend my day watching an actual sports event (USA vs Ghana)...
Tweet Many people don't know this, but I actually had a bug inside the Avs war room for the recent NHL entry draft, and I decided to transcribe everything from the draft. Without further adieu, here's what happened during the draft. Large corporate looking conference room in Los Angeles called the Bridge. Inside the conference room the Avalanche scouting staff are discussing potential players to take in the first round: General Manager: Greg ShermanDirector of...
Tweet So I said I'd get around to doing a Top 10 of '09-10 and here it is,more than a month after the season ended for the Avs. I'll be countingdown all 10 of the top 10 Avs moments of the season. I thought aboutbreaking this into 2 posts, but then realized I could easily milk it for10. Without further adieu, here we go: Original Recaps: Mile High Hockey, Anyone but Detroit, Avslova Factor, Well,...
Tweet I don't think this is getting nearly as much attention as it should because no one wants to take anything away from the Blackhawks deserving championship. But what exactly is the punishment for being over the cap? I get that it's pretty tough to criticize a team for spending too much, and bringing the excitement of hockey back to a great hockey town, when that same team spent the last three decades in a...

Tweet As reported by Mirtle's twitter feed. Believe it or not, both re-signings generated a bit of controversy from some fans. Maybe it's the offseason (well for the Avs) so every little nugget of news is over analyzed, but I don't think either signing is worth getting worked up over. There's a small, but very vocal, contingent among Avs fans who think Weiman deserves a shot and would be a better option than Budaj. Weiman's...

Tweet Courtesy of Adrian Dater, Adam Foote has signed a one year deal with the Avs for $1M, with another $1M or so in incentives possible. Frankly I'm not sure how I feel about this move by the Avs. On the one hand, Footer is a Colorado legend, and a sure fire bet to have his number hanging from the rafters when he does finally call it quits. He played alright this season, even...
