Dryden Hunt had a revolving door of monikers for Anton Blidh during their four years as minor league hockey combatants. When they united for the first time on the Avalanche roster this November, they cleared the air about it with a shared laugh.
“From the past, I’d call you a bunch of different things,” Hunt told Blidh when Blidh was called up from Colorado’s AHL affiliate.
“He said, ‘I used to call you ‘beep beep.’ I can’t say the words,” Blidh said. “That’s why I ‘beep’ it.”
At any rate, Hunt needed a friendlier term now.
