Top Avs Of All Time: #5 Tyler Arnason

Arnasonpoker_medium

Guys like Mike Keane, Claude Lemieux, Adam Deadmarsh and Mike Ricci set the bar pretty high when it came to Avalanche players known for their fierce grit and determination. They created some tough acts to follow.

But there is one current Avalanche player that fits that model to a T.  That's Tyler Arnason.  Known for his tireless work ethic on the ice, his brilliant two-way play, his uncanny offensive acumen, and his crushing body checks, "Arny" continues to lead the Avs to incredible success each and every game.  For these reasons and more, his place in the top echelon of the Top 19 Avalanche Players Of All Time will always be secure.

Star-divide

Oh, who am I kidding?  Hey, look, it's already April!

What other lame attempt? I mean, I make so many lame attempts at everything that you’re going to have to be more specific than that.

Go Avs! Let's get some goals!

that was from the Vegas preseason game – I saved that one as well, figuring it would definitely come in handy at some point.

Least Believable April Fools Joke

Ever. Congrats!

I made it pretty blatant. I could have tried to be serious, saying stuff like,

“Even though he receives much criticism, Arnason is a strong player who’s unflashy technique means his brilliance on the ice often goes unnoticed…” or something.

I figured, why waste the effort?

So you pulled an Arny, huh?

We need more Arny party pictures. Nothing I love more than hockey player slander.

What was the average vote placement for him?

Let's go Pens!

He is showing more emotion during a poker game then he ever has during a hockey game. Does anyone else see something wrong with this?

Maybe he plans on changing careers

And join the World Tour of Poker.

Get rid of the loser point
