Some Colorado Avalanche fans seem to have redirected their out-of-touchness to defenseman Samuel Girard as this season approaches the deadline. Many jumped to the defense of the small-framed 24-year-old when a still shot of the crowd surfaced showing an Avalanche fan donning a reverse-retro jersey while holding a sign with all-black letters that read, "Trade Girard." Some, however, joined in with similar sentiments, showing how ruthless fans can be.
