One of the most dramatic and memorable moments of last season for the Colorado Avalanche was Scott Wedgewood’s introduction. Barely having arrived after having been traded, he had to come into the game against the Buffalo Sabres with the Avs down 0-4 in the first intermission.
He held strong and steadied the ship and gave the team the opportunity to forge the improbable comeback to a 5-4 win in regulation. He followed that up by the iconic “four lines, six D, two tendies… all year” speech. It was as though, with his arrival, the team could finally release the collective breath that they had been holding.
