======================
I've had an idea. Let's decide who the greatest players in Avalanche history are.
  • You decide what "greatest" means.
  • Only judge players based on their Avalanche careers. This means no extra points for Sakic's time with the Nordiques, or Ray Bourque's time with the Bruins.
  • Poll will be open for a few days.
  • Each time you vote, suggest a player who should be added for the next round.
  • If there's no consensus on who should be added I'll just pick the next player who's played the most games.

Notes: The second best body checker in Avalanche history, plus look at that Adam's appleNotes: Stanley Cup (2001)Notes: Stanley Cup (as a backup) (2001), great hair yet traded for a guy on RogaineNotes: Fostered in a proud heritage of Columbus Blue Jackets rejectsNotes: Broke NHL record for consecutive games played by a defenseman (495)Notes: Stanley Cup (2001), hates college boysNotes: Bald

Remember when we were in the thirties and Risto kept bugging me to add Aebischer? Good times.

Not quite sure where to put this but one thing I feel blessed about as being an Avs fan was having a competitive team during the last few years of the non-cap era. The list of guys that I was able to see as a kid was pretty special, even if they spent a small amount of time here - Jari Kurri, Andreychuk, Kariya/Selanne, Kasparaitus, Bourque, Briere, Turgeon……there was some definite star power that came through.
