Compher and Jost only showed up at the very end of the nightmare season. I still think those two, plus Kerfoot, were a big part of turning the locker room culture around the next year. Young, sure, but all former captains of junior/college teams and natural character guys. Turning the leadership page over to that group was probably an underrated part of how we turned it around so quickly and didn't let the losing culture creep in.

I'll give it up for Matt Duchene. He built this team.

What about Bednar and Sakic, they deserves recognition too

Very cool thread! My finest compliments and congrats to the guys who saw it through. Very proud these guys are Avs.
Jost has not had an easy four years. He’s had to work to become the cog on this team he was this season.
Yeah shame he and Zad didn’t get to leave with a cup.
Wouldn’t be opposed to Long Beach on our 4th line next year.

I don't think there were actually printed quotes, that I know of, but it was rumored that after his name came up in trade talks, he went to Joe and said that he wanted to see it through and help be part of the turn around, and that's why Joe didn't trade him
Talk about,an overnight change. I remember getting the alert on my phone that night. I remember shit like rumors for a straight up with Phaneuf and Garth Snow trying to strong arm a deal.
Battle of Midway for this team.
Garth Snow tryin' to strongarm Joe Sakic. Hah...I would've loved to have been in the room during those conversations.

That team looked every bit as bad as that record indicated. They went out of their way to lose games--at least that's sure how it felt. I still shudder remembering Tyson Barrie haplessly trying to move up the ice with the slow-ass forwards in front of him providing no room to maneuver whatsoever.
It seriously felt like this.
I thought enduring that 11-win season by the Denver Nuggets was the nadir for my Colorado sports fandom. Nope. This was the f***ing worst. Thank the Hockey Gods it all ended with the Avs losing the lottery and getting Cale Makar.
That almost makes it all worth it. Almost.
