A note to those of you who are interested, the Colorado Eagles game on the 24th at 7PM will be on Altitude. I know that interferes with the All-Star game, so I'm guessing not too many of you will watch it.

All coloradoavalanche.com interview seem to have short answers.

Apart from that Sakic one about the all-satr game. That was a decent length.
