OT: Colorado Avalanche All-Time Whipping Boy Team

[AMDZen]

OK guys remind me, what did the Avs get in the trade for Robyn Regehr?

Fleury for Corbet + Belak + Regehr

Anyone that doesn't mention Arnason is wrong. He will NEVER live down his whipping boy title, at least Skoula made something of his career.

I can't be the only one thinking that Brett Clark's partner got a ton of heat, too. Though I understand the reluctance to include him.

I was going to include him but as disappointing as he was, he was still a better dmen than anyone else we had.

 

[Pual Statsny]

Battaglia - Arnason - Jones (imagine if that line ever played together!)
Wolski - Turgeon - Svatos (although he had one good year)
Lacroix - Shantz - Porter
Worrell - Wyatt Smith - May

Skoula - Brisebois
Zanon - Clark
Hunwick - O'Byrne

Theodore
Raycroft

Honorable mentions: McAllister, Nedorost, Budaj, Rycroft, Hlinka, McAmmond, Morris (not really his fault mostly just because he came in a horrible trade...and then was traded away in an even worse one for Chris Gratton and Ossi Vaananen), O'Brien.

Turgeon...really? One of the most underrated players of all time. The reason why Dale Hunter should be blackballed from the league.

I personally loved Turgeon as a player.

Maybe he wasn't incredible when he came to the Avs, but the guy was completely on the downside of his career. Did people really have that high of expectations for him? How does Turgeon get flack but Jari Kurri doesn't then? It was pretty much an identical situation (not saying Kurri even belongs on this list - I have all the admiration in the world for both of these guys, but they were both clearly on their last legs with the Avs). It was awesome just to see both Turgeon and Kurri in an Avs uniform after I'd been a fan of theirs growing up.

I didn't put Kasparitus on the list for the same reason. Liked the guy from afar (even though he was very dirty) but he was totally out of his element on the Avs too.

I actually thought Turgeon did great feeding Svatos the puck. That combo was really fun to watch.

Who was the other guy on that line ? All i can remember is that he was a young player too .

I thought it was Kono-Turgeon-Svatos for awhile but I'm not positive. I know Kono also played with Graton and Barnaby so I'd have to go back and do some searching. Edit...did a quick search and Kono did play with them prior to breaking his wrist. Not sure who joined them afterwards.

Was that Laaksonen?
