Sucks that the Av's are a shadow of the team they once were. Luckily I was in Denver during some of the most amazing hockey times ever, and been teargassed twice because of Stanely cup wins. Denver was a wild place, in any bar, to be in during that time. It was like the entire state was magnatized.
I haven't felt the same about hockey since moving to Florida. Hard to root for hockey in a state that never sees snow.
