Interesting article in the Minnesota paper about former Avs player Andrew Brunette, who is playing on a partially or fully torn ACL in his knee. "Brunette, 35, whose consecutive-games-played streak ended at 509 games last
month, has been gutting it out ever since. He arrives early and leaves late,
receiving hours of treatment. At times he can barely walk."
Good thing Giguere let this guy walk, huh? It’d be a real shame for young guys like Stewart and Hensick to see him battle through an injury like this one. Oh, and we could do without his 40 points, thank you very much (which would have been more like 50 if he were an Av, given the time he’d see lots of time with Stastny, Wolski, Hejduk and Smyth instead on a Wild team without Gaborik).
In all seriousness, I doubt FG would have let Bruno go if he knew Sakic was gone. True - he let him go July 1st and Sakic didn’t commit until late August, but I never really expected Sakic to be done this offseason - so I imagine FG had a similar sense.
Anyway - enjoy the article…
