(This
is a series that will run through the offseason that highlights the best,
worst, and most irrelevant players to wear each number from 1 to whenever there
isn’t enough players that wore a certain number to do this. So…here…we…go…)
One day, as the official Avaholics Unanimous fortune
teller has told us, #9 will be retired by the Colorado Avalanche. And by
fortune teller, we mean a magic 8 ball I found in a box of kid stuff stashed in
my basement. We asked if Tyler Arnason’s #39 would ever be retired and this is
the response we got:
I don’t remember the Magic 8 Ball being that
intense.
The Best: M-m-m-m-Matt Duchene! Not only is he the best ever to don #9 for the Avs,
and will be the best ever to don #9, he has managed to overpass several other candidates
that were in no way deserving of the title. Even if Duchene wasn’t very good,
we’d still name him the best because he can score sick goals like this:
The Worst: Paul Kariya. See “The Worst” section on
our #8 analysis. You weren’t very good Kariya.
Mr. Irrelivant: Brad
Larsen. Larsen wore three numbers for the Avs over 5 seasons. That is a lot
of numbers. And when he did play for the Avs as a number 9, he didn’t really do
much. Not compared to everyone else. So congratulations Brad Larsen, on earning
the prestigious honor of being mentioned by our writing staff.
Other
#9’s:
Mike
Ricci – If Duchene had worn another number, Ricci would have
won. Winner of the “sickest flow” award.
