The funniest aspect about that story is supposedly the Maple Leafs staff confused the defenders and thought Finger was Kurt Sauer, which was the way superior defenceman.

Finger getting a 4 year 14M contract from the Leafs is NOT an awful memory.
No, not it is not.
However, Avs missed a prime opportunity not using Jeff Finger and Mitch Love as a defensive pairing.

That money belongs to Kurt Sauer lol The Leafs f***ed up and got the wrong guy.
Sadly, Sauer's NHL career only lasted one season after that. One minor hit in a preseason game that caught him completely wrong and he was done.

Yah. Thats why I never get upset when players want the most money they can get. Situations like that. I loved Sauers while he was here.
I believe so, 2007 maybe? Pretty cool to see him making such an impact now, a perfect 4th liner and PKer for this team.
Some of these names were awful. MacDermid would be a solid contributor back on those teams. Probably a keystone third liner for many of those Avs teams. Hockey has come a long way too.
Away from the fighting and ability to get into other guys heads, I still maintain MacDermid is the least talented player in the NHL this year who got more than 20 games played.

Do y'all remember that one game where David Koci played defense and he wasn't god-awful? One of my greatest Aves memories
Bednar was on NHL Radio this morning, caught only the tail end of the interview, but near the end Scott Laughlin passed along the message that Bruce Boudreau said he wanted to be the first-ever coach to win championships as a head coach at the ECHL, AHL, and NHL levels, but he was sending well wishes to Bednar to do it first. Bednar lavished praise on Boudreau when they were both coming up as coaches in the Washington system, South Carolina and Hershey, respectively, said he was taken under Boudreau's wing and learned a lot from him. I can see some of the similarities in their systems, both prefer an aggressive, up-tempo approach.
Also learned that Jon Cooper has won championships as a head coach at the NAHL, USHL, AHL, and (obviously) NHL levels, but never coached in the ECHL.

Damn. Hell of a resume for Cooper. Hopefully Jared can make a similar claim.

Uhhhh there is a concert scheduled in Ball Arena on the 18th by the way. What does that mean for game 1 if Tampa/NY go to 7 games?

I can't imagine how stressful that would be for the riggers if the game goes to double OT
Yikes. Avs don't normally do great in those, but they did win a matinee playoff game this year...right?

A matinée Saturday game 1 SCF sounds awful to me.

How about we tell Carin Leon to f*** right off. I don't know who he is, nor do I care. Avs trump everything. f*** that guy and everything he stands for.

Agreed. SCF games should all be night games.

I believe Game 1 vs NJ in 2001 was on a Saturday afternoon, and the Avs won it 5-1
Edit: it was 5-0

They will move it. If ECF goes to game 7 it would conflict with a Justin Bieber show at MSG and no one seems too worried about moving the concert date. I'm sure the clauses have clear outs making the sports team tenants priority #1.

Oh, he absolutely would be worse than NAK on the 3rd line. NAK has had his fair share of poor games this postseason and isn't scoring but the games he's played well, he's been very noticeable.
Jost does nothing positive on the ice. Nothing.
You kidding right now?
Jost was a liability in the playoffs in every run except for one.
And YES, Aube-Kubel is better.
