Colorado Avalanche Using Injury-Prone Roster in Edmonton

Remember the Colorado Avalanche’s golden Why Not Us year when then-coach Patrick Roy would indulge in a bit of drama by coming out for pressers with a list of injured players in his hand and feign the need to read it as he listed said players? Also remember he didn’t do that the second year when the Avs were second only to the Blue Jackets in number of man games lost to injury?

He wouldn’t be using that list right now. There would be no need for a dramatic flair.

The only reason for the trip down memory lane is to laugh instead of cry.
