This is more sad than kittens in the rain.

I thought it might be over. That was sooooooooo disappointing. I honestly think the Avs had a chance in Detroit until that happened. Then the chips really started to fall.

Dammit anyway. One of the few players I have ever seen who created an audible buzz almost every time he was on the ice in any arena. I heard it in the visiting arena in Vancouver a few times too. He just kept doing things that made people look out there and go “How in the f*ck did he do that?” I know Super Joe has been the face of the franchise and played bigger roles in the two cup runs. And Patrick was probably the greatest goaltender of all-time. However, somehow Forsberg captured the hearts and imaginations of the fans here so much more. I remember one DP poll asking about favorite teams and athletes in the area (after Elway retired). Forsberg won by a mile.

If this is it, I’m glad we at least got to enjoy one more display of greatness last season before it was over. It was just right that he ended his NHL career with the Avs. And PL can go f*ck himself for lowballing him and letting him walk before signing Turgeon and Brisebois. I wonder how much that move alone set this franchise back?

Hall of famer and one of the best players to ever play ever. Unfortunately his style of play didn’t lend itself to a long career.

This sucks. In more words, he’s my favorite player of all time. That being said, it’s not like its a huge surprise. I agree with bob, letting forsberg go was quite possibly the stupidest thing the avs have ever done. Cap or no cap, they should have found a way to keep him.

Kill me.

this makes me very sadface
