The Colorado Avalanche Bloggers Roundtable rolls into the midway point with two new faces for the faithful. Check out Brian Thompson, the Colorado Avalanche Examiner as he turns his examining eye on the Roundtable and hosts the first of today's hot topics. We're taking a look back at the 2009-2010 offseason and taking stock of what the Av's front office did over the summer:
What is one 2009 offseason executive decision you thought was genius and one executive decision that you thought was horrible?
Click through to his site for all the answers you can stomach. Then tell us how wrong we really are.
Sean Payton from the beautifully named Anyone But Detroit steps to the plate for the second part of today's fun and adventure when he leads our stalwart group on a look forward with the players the Avalanche brass have assembled:
Is there a core set of players on the team RIGHT NOW that, if they hit their realistic potentials, could lead this team to a legitimate cup run?
Jump on over to Sean's site for our brilliant insight!

Did I miss...
…a Patrice Brisebois blurb? He retired officially yesterday. His 1+ season stint here was forgettable, but he did set his career high in points as an Ave before tanking it the following year.
He didn’t have much to say about Colorado, other than being grateful the Montreal GM let him come back to retire as a Hab.
He was around at ground zero when the Avs began to implode and my interest waned.. I seriously don’t remember him here at all.
On a separate note, am I just a ’tard or are neither of the promised postings in place for the roundtable (I may be a ’tard on other counts BTW).

I haven’t been able to find either yet, but I don’t think Disgrunteled is cheduled to go on until later today

I’ve noticed that MHH’s links to the other roundtable posts and links to the other blogs have been up before the other blogs have been able to post the questions. Jibbles being the exception here.

That’s because I cheated and posted mine the night before

It’s cause Mike can’t post stories from work, so he has to schedule them from home the night before. This can make for a little mis-timing.
he’s always a bit premature, from what I hear.

Disgruntled isn’t hosting the Cup Run question — I am at Anyone But Detroit and its been up since this morning.
In related to this comment string news, I went after Breeze By last night on my blog…

The Avs always seem to have a scapegoat. Before Brisebois, Skoula. Before Skoula, Gusarov at some point. What would the fans do if the Avs suddenly dropped Brett Clark and Darcy Tucker???

TJ Hensick’s on my radar right now. He needs to have a good season or else reach Tyler Arnason status

I’m really hoping that he’ll breakout this year. ESPN fantasy sports seems to think he’ll score 49 points this season. I don’t think that’s going to happen but I hope they’re right.
Gusarov was before my time, but he was really a scapegoat?

I never thought so, but I didn’t follow the team as closely when he was on the team.

He took a lot of heat on message boards towards the end of his time with the Avalanche.
by c0nquistad0rian on Sep 25, 2009 11:18 AM MDT up reply actions
yeah, he definately slowed down toward the end, sort of the way Foote is starting to take a little heat now.
We’ll always have a scapegoat, just hopefully as the team improves the quality of our scapegoat gets better and better…..
Fret not.
Even if we ditch Clark & Tucker, we’ll still have the Hobbit and Hensuck to worry about (though I still hold out hope that they can both man up and act like the pros that they ostensibly are).

And no matter how he plays, Budaj seems to be a favorite whipping boy of some fans…
Wolski and Svatos are also on some people’s hit lists.
MHH: Like the Avs organization, we’ve now officially lost our minds.

I personally like Wolski.
Svats is ok.
But he really needs to shape up, he’s on a thin line this year.
My whipping boy has to be Hannan.
Besides the obvious Tucker/Clark combo of sucktitude.
So long Super Joe. In a class of your own in every sense of the word.
I wasn’t paying much attention to the message boards but I watched every game and I always thought he was very talented and I don’t recall him making many mistakes. I remember times where Goose would do some amazing spin move that leave everyone with their mouth hanging open. I do recall around that time seeing Lefebvre making a few mistakes.
Gusarov
I always liked the Goose. Good solid, stay at home play. FWIW, the Avs liked him enough to include him on the alumni night schedule. I doubt any of our current scapegoats get that honor.
Get rid of the loser point
He was a good passer too if I remember right

I liked Goose too
And he was the one who set up Kamensky on the famous spinarama goal. I thought he was a very solid 2-way D-man.
Where will you be on October 1st, 2009 at 6:45 PM Mountain Time?
