Podes, Staz, Sheriff.

25: Keane had the better career, had 47 points in 136 games as a #25 Av, compared to the 63 in 239 of Podein (slightly better average, fewer games). Both won a cup with us, but only one beat us in the playoffs, cost us the other one, and was bought out. So I voted for the other one. (Also, may want to fix spelling of Shjon's name).

26: Yelle was on both cup rosters, end of story

27: Parker was on a cup team, was the best fighter the Avs ever had, and is facing some pretty weak competition (as Avs)

[UncleRisto]

So hey, how's Yelle not winning?

 

[Bone Breaker]

Podein, Yelle (Stastny is already on the list with the #62) and Parker.

the last one was tough though since I really like Downie.

This thread definitely needs some more Yelle

Had to go for Ossi in this one. Too much love.

 

[Bubba Thudd]

Voted Podes, Staz, Sheriff




(also corrected the spelling of Shjon)

 

[AslanRH]

Easy for me this time.

Shjon, Paul and Ringo...err..Parker

 

[tigervixxxen]

What's wrong with the name, I'm going by hockey reference.

 

[Bubba Thudd]

It was Shojn when I got to it. I changed it to Shjon.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Oh Ossi, he was alright for the most part, but there was a few stretches where he played mean and actually used his size, and in those games he looked amazing. If only he could've played like that more consistently.

oh ok thanks, must have been a typo then

 

[Cousin Eddie]

I know we all hate him, but Chris Stewart was a damn good 25. I loved everything about Podein and team success was better with him but i'd argue Chris Stewart had a better 3 years than Podein. Surprised nobody nominated him.

 

[UncleRisto]

Why do we all love Stastny?

 

[tigervixxxen]

Are we ever going to see an Avs 26 and not think of Stastny?

 

[UncleRisto]

I guess not. Are we ever going to see an Avs 22 and not think of Hunwick?

 

[ColoradoSportsFan]

Keaner, Yelle and The Sheriff.

Love Staz but he'll get in for #62.

 

[Cousin Eddie]

Keaner, Yelle and The Sheriff.

Love Staz but he'll get in for #62.

I get that he has multiple chances to win but how good did he really wear 62 in 7 games? The player that wore number 26 best for the Avs is definitely Staz.

Although I'm starting to realize the majority of people voting on these things haven't watched pre-2000 Avalanche hockey.

I'm realizing this as well but i'm also noticing that the people who watched pre-2000 Avalanche hockey are very biased with the old guys.

I remember Yelle very very well. He was an awesome player. But in just as many games Paul Stastny scored about 4 times as many points. That's pretty substantial.

Keaner, Yelle and The Sheriff.

Love Staz but he'll get in for #62.

I dont remember him for 62 so it doesn't matter to me if he wins it or not
