*looks for grinder option*

hmm…

A little rudeness and disrespect can elevate a meaningless interaction to a battle of wills and add drama to an otherwise dull day.

I think he’ll participate in the getting hit hard by a big guy, getting up, and crunching the big guy into the boards hard enough to shut up the enemy crowd competition

Maybe a 10 lap endurance race with grappling and throw downs aloud.

Fellow Avs were making suggestions on twitter:

“Battle on the boards competition”.

Galiardi suggested “Best at goaltender interference”.

Galiardi is so funny.

i think Winnik suggested a finishing your check competition

I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is.

I don’t see the “Finishing a check” or “Goaltender Interference” competitions up there. Winnik and Gali would be disappointed.

Perhaps they should try to squeeze a little more corporate sponsorship into the event.

Wouldn’t they start using former players first?

I believe they would be able to start calling up AHL players first.

Giggy on starting (from DP)

“You’re only as good as your last game,” he said, adding: “There’s probably five guys in this league that can say they’re the No. 1 guy no matter what. Everybody else has to fight for ice time and try to earn everything they get. I’m in that situation, just as much as Varly and a bunch of other guys.”

Uh…only 5 no matter what? A little generous Giggy
