This thread will cover the Colorado Rockies(1976-82)who moved from kansas city after the 1975-76 season.
That's a horrible photo of Lanny McDonald.He is a photo of the best player that the scouts-rockies ever had Wilf Paiement.this photo was taken at the detroit olympia stadium before a rockies detroit game.

You said it was the best player we ever had?I think you need to get some glasses that is not Lanny McDonald
Now here is a photo of the former maple leaf who was traded to colorado on 12-29-1979 for Wilf Paiement this is Lanny McDonald. McDonald only played 1 full season for the rockies and 2 partial seasons.and if you compare Wilf Paiements record for the 5+ seasons he played for the scouts-rockies franchise he was the best player that they had.go look in the record book.
Lanny's in the Hall and brought more to the team. Ask any Rockies fan and we all will say Lanny was the best.
Tree dropping in the forest with KC.Now we are not talking about McDonalds years with toronto or calgary he was only with the rockies one full season and 2 partial seasons.Wilf Paiement was with the team for 5+ years including the teams stay in kansas city. so Wilf Paiement was the better player for the Scouts-Rockies teams.

Looks like the first three rows were full in that clip, which easily puts it at the biggest crowd ever in Big Mac.

sounds like that you dont like to hear the truth.Wilf Paiement is the best ever for the scouts-rockies.
It sounds to me that it is Olympia Stadium that doesn't want to hear the truth or has no idea what he/she is talking about / doesn't remember much about Rockies hockey.
What in the hell did Craig attack him like that for? Robert was a cheese cake fighter

I do know what the truth is look at Wilf Paiement stats for the 5+ years that he was with the Scouts and Rockies teams.it dont take a rocket scientist to see that Paiements was worth alot more to that organization than a player who was on the team for only 1 full season and 2 partial seasons.and Wilf Paiement lead the rockies to there only playoff apperance in the scouts-rockies history.
I disagree very much with your opinion as would any Colorado Rockies fan or anyone who spent any time actually following the Rockies when they actually played hockey. I also noticed that in the first two postings above your referred to Paiement as the best player that Colorado ever had and now you start talking about being worth more to the organization. He may have been worth more to the organization in that during his time there he scored more goals and had more points but he was not the best player to play for the team. Lanny was.
It is fine that your opinion is that Paiement is better but I don't think you will find any Rockies fan who shares your opinion. As for using stats as the basis of your opinion, stats are the bastion of people who can't just a player based on his play. If you saw the two players throughought their careers, you would know that Lanny was a far better player than Wilf. This leads me to believe that you didn't watch these player play much during their careers. Wilf Paiement was a good NHL hockey player whereas Lanny McDonald was a great NHL hockey player.
