While the Colorado Avalanche may have not figured Brett Clark to have a place in their blossoming young team, at least one other General Manager thinks otherwise. The newly appointed Vice President and General Manager of the Tampa Bay Lightning was quick to snatch up such a catch.
It’s here and it’s already making me long for the far off time of October. That’s right, the Colorado Avalanche now know all of their opponents and games for the 2010-11 NHL season.
While the Colorado Avalanche greatly improved over a dismal season last year, shattering expectations left and right and arguably putting up more of a fight than the Detroit Red Wings against the San Jose Sharks in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, the Avalanche were bogged down throughout the regular and post-season by their defensive situation.
Colorado Avalanche rookie savior Matt Duchene has been announced as a top 3 candidate to receiver the Calder Trophy for the 2009-2010 NHL season. The Calder Trophy is the honor the league bestows upon the rookie of the year.
Dear NHL Officiating Staff and Management,
I’m writing to you to address a growing concern about your ability to fairly officiate this year’s Stanley Cup Playoffs. While this comes from a blog based solely around the Colorado Avalanche, your current level of officiating has fans of all team colors concerned and at times enraged.
Yes, we all know that the Colorado Avalanche dropping last night’s game wasn’t good news for the Avs playoff picture. Whether you thought it was a good showing or like me still think they left much to be desired, at least they managed to get a point – which they hadn’t done in the last two – so that is a silver lining right?
Last night seemed like one of those games that was too good to be true. The Vancouver Cancucks had repeatedly stomped our Colorado Avalanche and it was time for some payback. Despite what people seem to think, this team is fighting for a playoff spot, and the window for making the post season is rapidly diminishing with each loss. Yet what happened last night was nothing short of soul crushing for this team.
Are you as excited for this upcoming season as you were last year?
