- r0ryb0ryalis, on 06/03/2009, -3/+20I glanced at the title and thought there was some super natural disaster taking place in Colorado...AN AVALANCHE OF FIRE. Terrifying!
- thefourcast, on 06/03/2009, -0/+17I hope the Avs do become great again, I would love to see the Red Wings/Avs rivalry come back to life.
- luke374, on 06/03/2009, -0/+12Not the video coordinator!
- paraforce, on 06/03/2009, -0/+11Still better than the Islanders.
- hotbert73, on 06/03/2009, -0/+10bout time!
- triPzZz, on 06/03/2009, -1/+8It would be awesome to have Patrick Roy as head coach... (or back as a goalie! haha) - too bad he doesn't seem to be interested.
- bakaoni, on 06/03/2009, -0/+6Any true hockey fan knows that love of the game goes before love of the team.
- droogieca, on 06/03/2009, -1/+7More problems than just the coaches. It's ***** how the coach is always the first guy to be blamed when a team fails.
- reservation, on 06/03/2009, -0/+5Dugg for Jeff Hackett getting fired
- rwbrinso, on 06/03/2009, -1/+5At least their Asst. to the GM can fall back on his singing career.
- FreddieD, on 06/03/2009, -0/+4I'm guessing he coordinates videos.
- roguewriter, on 06/03/2009, -0/+4Ever since LaCroix stepped away from being GM to take up other duties in the organization, the team has been coasting downhill. Sherman, the new GM, has been with the team for 13 years or so. Hopefully, some of the LaCroix magic has worn off on him.
At any rate, I want to see the team succeed, get back to the playoffs, and start stomping the Red Wings again. I hope this is a step in the right direction! - bigstinky, on 06/03/2009, -0/+3As much as I hated the Av's, I really miss the rivalry. Believe me, as a Red Wing fan there's no better gratification than seeing them at rock bottom. But that's how hockey goes. Avalanche fans never got to go through a drought in their course of history. Detroit's darkness lasted what, 40 years? You win, then you suck, then you eventually win again...Unless you're Columbus. The fans in Colorado are loyal. They really want a thriving hockey club...And deserve one.
I honestly hope they turn things around. I want to hate them legitimately again. For now I'll just hate on Bitchmaster general, Sindy Crosby. - LionheartX, on 06/03/2009, -0/+3Good riddence to bad rubbish
- bakaoni, on 06/03/2009, -0/+3I would like to point out that there is no one wanting to coach a team with such a horrendous salary cap problem and the man who fired the coaches is the one who created the problem.
- Heiios, on 06/03/2009, -0/+2Granato had two separate chances to coach the Avs and both times he did poorly. It was good to fire him. That being said the Avs are hurting for good players at the moment as well. Rebuilding years ahead....
- NecroSexy, on 06/03/2009, -0/+2The socialistic structure of the NHL has put an end to rivalries.
- bigstinky, on 06/03/2009, -0/+2Quenneville was not the answer. Look at his resume.
- bigstinky, on 06/04/2009, -0/+2Sergei NEVER bitched, moaned and whined like Sindy. Sergei NEVER got the "savior of the NHL" tag...Undeservedly. I have plenty of room to complain. And I aint the only one. Everyone but Penguin fans hates that douche.
You can't compare Sergei Fedorov to Sindy Crosby. Maybe Pronger, Sorry man. You got nothing. - arplayer2k, on 06/03/2009, -0/+2The ref's were such bastards yesterday. Its okay, we'll get them in 5 at the Joe.
GO WINGS! - Boodie, on 06/03/2009, -0/+2The only thing I like better on digg then hockey news is hockey news from a hockey chick!
- romeyinfc, on 06/03/2009, -0/+2Part of it is to send a message to players that this performance won't be tolerated. That's why you see these in-season firings that the Rockies just had
- BigVi, on 06/04/2009, -0/+1I quit watching because of the strike. Not because the strike turned me off of hockey, but could you imagine what a hard cap would due to the Yankees fan base? The Avs have never been the same and they were only big because they were the first pro team from Colorado that actually won.
- IHaveIssues, on 06/03/2009, -0/+1Maybe they should use Phosphacore!
- Digger1123, on 06/03/2009, -2/+3I am still trying to figure out why the ***** we fired Quenneville.
- Gonz037, on 06/03/2009, -0/+1Who owns the chiefs? Owwwwwns owwwwwwwns
- str1fe, on 06/08/2009, -0/+1There's a Chicago/Detroit rivalry?
Good to know. - ShooterMcGavin, on 06/03/2009, -0/+1Well, you can't just "fire" the players. So, you gotta make the only change you can and that is either the coach or the GM.
- serif69, on 06/03/2009, -0/+1You mustn't be an Isles, Devils, Rangers, or Flyers fan.
- paraforce, on 06/04/2009, -0/+1Never date within the division. Foo'
- arplayer2k, on 06/03/2009, -0/+1The good old days were great. Avs vs RedWings is what I grew up on while watching the NHL.
- inactive, on 06/03/2009, -1/+2Shame you cant fire the entire owners and management. the leafs could use that.
- FreddieD, on 06/03/2009, -0/+1Thanks for reminding me of Will Ferrell's character..

Ba ba beee baa booo.... - cadillac24, on 06/04/2009, -0/+1That's because he wants the habs' job
Too bad - chrisbutts, on 06/03/2009, -2/+2In other news... the Colorado Avalanche's season for next year has been canceled due to lack of interest.
- chiefautoparts, on 06/03/2009, -0/+0Change is needed. I gave up my season tickets after last season's performance. I'm still a fan, but the tv will do for this year.
- FXNGLAS, on 06/03/2009, -1/+1They won't be missed.
- d0nbaker, on 06/03/2009, -0/+0ohhh no, a bruins fan cannot be with a habs fan!!!!
- paraforce, on 06/04/2009, -1/+1Sorry, the Blackhawks/Redwings rivarly > any rivalry the Redwings and Avalanche ever had.
- avery16, on 06/03/2009, -0/+0Took long enough!
- roguewriter, on 06/03/2009, -2/+2Given that Sergei Fedorov should have gotten a William Shatner Biggest Ham award for all the times he oversold being hurt after a hit, I'm thinking you don't have a lot of room to complain about Crosby.
- ike6116, on 06/03/2009, -3/+2HabsChick I love your pro-hockey submissions, however I am a BruinsDude thus our love can never be. I am so conflicted on whether to digg this or not.
- Wreckage, on 06/03/2009, -8/+7I hope they hire Patrick Roy, so that Chris Osgood can jump the boards and pummel him for old times sake.
GO WINGS! - Scoreboard, on 06/03/2009, -2/+1Maybe the LA Kings will pick up some of this great talent. </sarc>
- Digger1123, on 06/03/2009, -2/+1What the ***** does the "video coordinator" do?
- badenglishihave, on 06/03/2009, -3/+1Funniest part for me: I had just started listening to "I Guess He'd Rather be in Colorado" when I saw this story. I guess these guys don't share that sentiment now. Ha!
- badenglishihave, on 06/03/2009, -3/+1Whoever is burying you must read headlines from right to left, because if you read it the normal way that's the first thing that comes to mind.
- inactive, on 06/03/2009, -10/+3I was expecting an avalanche made of fire in Colorado but it's just a lame sports story.
- marieweightloss, on 06/03/2009, -9/+2Colorado deserves the best when it comes to coaching. Let's get it together.


What is Digg?
