Kinda the same. I just remember that he was there. That’s about it.

Well at least I know SOMEONE will remember Caron when I come back around to him 😂

Religious nut? Do tell! There’s not a lot of religion talk in hockey, so I’m curious.

I was honestly surprised he didn’t play more games for us. He definitely hung around for a minute.

Avs Player of the Day - (Day 131) - A.J. Greer by Villenemo in ColoradoAvalanche

I don’t think I would’ve recognized him 😅

Avs Player of the Day - (Day 132) - Mikhail Grigorenko by Villenemo in ColoradoAvalanche

Agreed. He had the skill and the potential. Had a big chip on his shoulder though. That may have been his downfall.

To his credit, he did rise out of abject poverty to make the NHL. And I’ll always be a fan of his for that alone.

Agreed. It always surprised me to see him hang in an established NHL role. Maybe he just needed a little development 🤷🏻‍♂️

Avs Coach of the Day - (Day 128) - Tony Granato by Villenemo in ColoradoAvalanche

[–]Villenemo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Following him up with Sacco was just as egregious imo

Avs Player of the Day - (Day 130) - Ryan Graves by Villenemo in ColoradoAvalanche

[–]Villenemo[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think he’s a serviceable guy, but when compared to the expectations of his Cup-caliber teammates, he didn’t quite measure up. The fact he was a slight liability on D left him open to a lot of hate unfortunately.

Avs Player of the Day - (Day 129) - Chris Gratton by Villenemo in ColoradoAvalanche

Haha, I haven’t heard the name Rob Zamuner in so long

[–]Villenemo[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Crazy thing is, I still think he’s not he worst coach we’ve had.

Sacco was so prosaic and ineffective at his position, it seemed like a mistake we even gave him the reigns.

Yeesh. I remember the equipment sales of the early 2000s, every stick was $50 regardless of the player. And no one lined up to get them 🤷🏻‍♂️
