a certain other player, I won’t mention any names but it rhymes with ‘Blow-tek Blow-ski’ (very mature I know) has 3 points in 5 games(.60ppg), is scoring less for phoenix then he did for colorado(.75ppg), but is right on his career average(.64ppg).

I’ve been thrilled about this trade since I first heard the rumor from Bob Mckenzie. Before that trade rumor, I was hoping that Wolski would somehow get signed to an offer sheet this summer and we could get a draft pick or two.

But this is great! And it’s working out even better than I hoped. I’ve always been a Mueller supporter.

I should have waited until today, now he’s on pace for 129 points (*if he had played for the avalanche all year)

I think this says it all…confidence issue

“It’s funny like that, eh? I’m trying to make people eat their words of what they’ve said in the past,” said Mueller, after his two- goal, one-assist performance in Colorado’s 5-3 win over St. Louis on Tuesday night. “It’s amazing what happens when you get a chance, and Colorado gave me a chance. I wanted to come in here and prove that I can play in this league.”

And:

Mueller credits some of his turnaround to “feeling trusted” and “getting to play top minutes every night. A player like myself, you put out there, the more chances, the more confident you get. Colorado gave me that chance right from the get-go, and, what I can say, I’m very honored to put on that jersey every night.”
