Stats aren't flashy, but Svatos earns coach's praise

05 Nov 2009 23:51:48 PST

Written by trei@denverpost.com (By Terry Frei / The Denver Post)
Avalanche winger Marek Svatos had gone 10 games without a goal before he scored against Phoenix on Wednesday. His season numbers, three goals and one assist, going into tonight's home game against Chicago aren't impressive.

After Darcy Tucker was injured - oh don't worry, I'll get to that - the lines were shuffled around a bit to fill in the gap. But the overall combos felt very solid tonight. Marek Svatos is not a first line talent but moving Milan Hejduk down to play with Matt Duchene was a solid move. Hejduk and Paul...

Kyle Cumiskey is a wonderful skater, but the rest of his game has yet to catch up. A full year in the AHL, playing tons of minutes may be the best way to go at this point. There is a lot of veteran depth ahead of him, but an opportunity could open up in 2010-11 as Adam Foote, Brett Clark and Ruslan Sale...

Opinion: Avalanche Brass Make Right Choice Naming Foote Captain

11 Sep 2009 17:58:43 PDT

Written by Shane Giroux(thebatlab@gmail.com)
That wasn't because I wanted Stastny to be the captain. It was simply because so many other NHL teams have recently put the C on players who have barely hit puberty, let alone figured out how to captain an NHL team. The Avalanche decided to go a new/old route and named aging vet, Adam Foote, capt...

Trade deadline - What should the Avalanche do?

And even if they were to make the playoffs, all it would bring is a little more cash to the team's bottom line, not a Stanley Cup. So what do the Avalanche have to offer? But what do the Avalanche need in return? Not the people who are closest to Stan Kroenke or Pierre Lacroix.
