It's a small world...er....league
Does anybody else remember Patrick Roy Night? Roy's number was raised to the rafters, and Aebischer got a 5-0 shutout in his first game as a starter. Towards the end of the game, everybody was chanting "ABBY! ABBY!" That was, IMO, the second most memorable goaltending performance for the Avs since Roy retired (the best being Andy's 51 save shutout). What most people don't notice is who was on the other side for that game. It was our home opener in 03-04 and the last time we opened at home against the Hawks. Michael Leighton was in net for Chicago, but more interesting to us is who was wearing the baseball cap and sitting at the end of the bench. Yep, our very own Craig Anderson.

I am dissapointed in this title, I thought the article was going to be about Martin St. Louis or at least Theo Fleury.
From Aebischer to Yip, excluding Young.

hehe
This would have been more relevant if I had remembered to post it on opening night, but I still get a kick out of it.
