I’m pretty sure that Colorado Avalanche winger Cody McLeod would hate the term “Swan Song.” This is the guy, after all, who in his rookie season with the Avalanche picked an octopus off the ice at Joe Louis arena during the pre-game against the Detroit Red Wings, and, after shaking it at the fans, threw it into the stands.
This is also a guy who’s racked up 1307 penalty minutes in his career, including a mind-boggling 121 fighting majors.
This is also a guy who’s been a member of the Colorado Avalanche since Joe Sakic was its captain.
