======================
I've had an idea. Let's decide who the greatest players in Avalanche history are.
  • You decide what "greatest" means.
  • Only judge players based on their Avalanche careers. This means no extra points for Sakic's time with the Nordiques, or Ray Bourque's time with the Bruins.
  • Poll will be open for a few days.
  • Each time you vote, suggest a player who should be added for the next round.
  • If there's no consensus on who should be added I'll just pick the next player who's played the most games.
  • Here's a list of everyone: Colorado Avalanche all-time player list at hockeydb.com

And now, the final ten. Wolski has more points than you'd think. Answers on a postcard for who gets added next, I'm tempted to just add my favourites. Seriously this time.

I'd vote for Parker simply because of what so many enforcers like him actually sacrificed in order to have that role back then.

A nod in the top 50 is the least we can do. I know I loved the fights..

We're voting for positions 41-50, and he won a Cup, he's 24th in games played and 38th in points.

Who do you think is left?

Wasn't he actually good, it was his second stint or something by that time he wasn't close to what he was. Or am I thinking of someone else?

Dingman then

First rounder and a two-time Stanley Cup Champion. Nothing to sneeze at for big Chris.

It's crazy that in 2000-2001 we played Scott Parker for 69 games and Chris Dingman for 41. That's a lot of meat for 110 regular season man games. Dingman got 16 playoff games that year vs Parker's 4.

I'd say Dingman was counted on to be more of a player than Parker was, and he was damn near every bit as devastating of a fighter.

Jeff Odgers. That man would annihilate anyone in the NHL today.

Can't forget Dale Hunter rejoined the franchise in Colorado to close out his career in 98-99 either. We've had some face punchers in the Org, that's for sure.

Im also all for adding some enforcers on the list. (after Ryan Wilson ofc) btw Sheriff imo should already be on the rankings for a long time. if its up to me, Id have him and Bordeleau on top 50. Bordy was imo the best fighter this franchise ever had, too bad he didnt resist for longer. I was also a big fan of Worrell, but I know Im alone on this one here. (he should totally make the Panthers top 50 though) oh and lets not forget crazy bamf Simon. he played just one season, but it was already sufficient to go down on Avs history with the most PIM in a single season. record that likely will never be beaten.


edit: I went to check it up and I was actually wrong, Odgers holds the record, 259 PIM. Simon had 250. along with 34 points. what a beauty.

F*** Scott Parker. He blamed Steve Moore for his own assault and crippling. That disqualifies him for this list as far as I'm concerned.
