Final Grades Start Next Week

PrintSince the Avalanche are giving me absolutely nothing to write about and since it doesn't look like that status is going to change anytime in the near future, it's time to get cracking on the Final Grades. It's a depressing job, but somebody has to do it.
Actually, it looks like somebody else is going to do it. Brian Thompson has already done report cards for the offense, defense and goaltending and it appears he's going to break down everyone individually as well. The more the merrier. Or misery loves company.
I actually am looking forward to doing the grades this year, and I have some features planned that may be kind of fun. The plan is to do one a day during the week, which should take us into mid-June where we can switch to the draft and free agency before we enter the dead zone in the middle of summer. Maybe by then we'll have a new coach to talk about...
As I mentioned the other day, my old ITCS content has been moved over here, so you can peruse the 2007 and 2008 final grades (and watch in amazement as I use the same Montgomery Gentry song lyrics for Patrice Brisebois and Karlis Skrastins). I'm going to try to build a little index today to put in the left sidebar. Or, I might just stare longingly out the window at all that glorious sunshine. Sigh.

Who the hell is Brian Thompson? My brother doesn’t follow the Avs…
2008-2009 Colorado Avalanche: Dry Humping Mediocrity
such an uncommon name, too…
Hyphens cause writers more trouble than any other form of punctuation, except perhaps commas.

Lets see
Tyler Arnason – A (giant turd)
Brett Clark – A (god awful waste of a defensive partner)
Tony Granato – A (clueless idiot)
Three A’s…we had a good season right?

We should apply to the Ivy League!
We have at least three more top marks!:
Darcy Tucker – A (peerless exhibitor of the “I’m just here for the paycheck” school of thought)
Jaques Cloutier – A (man who ought be arrested for reckless endangerment of his players by coaching them to "just stand there and get shot at)
Avs Training Staff – A (modern day version of the Keystone Kops if ever there was one)

There is one other mark I would like to add
TJ Hensick – B(coming another Tyler Arnason if he doesn’t get his head out of his you knew where)

My guess
Is that there will be only one A (McLeod). No other players could be considered overachievers this year.
Wolski
I’m disappointed with what he’s putting up but he’s posing similar stats ot a lot of players making the same amount…
I just want Drury back... I recognize the Drury->Morris->Statsny chain, and I stick with the statement.
