Reto Berra was sent to Lake Erie for conditioning on January 10. He made his first start against the Chicago Wolves on January 16. Then this happened. Well done 20/30.

GoPro and the NHL. A good combination.

Matt Duchene from Peter Forsberg

January 11, 2015 by Jay Vean - The AHP

Matt Duchene’s eventual game-winning early third period goal against the Dallas Stars brought back some happy memories for some long-time Colorado Avalanche fans yesterday afternoon. Duchene had tried this move many, many times before. This was the first time it was successful (at least that I can remember.)

Here’s Duchene’s tally:

Every time he’s tried that move I think of someone else though….

If we asked Duchene about his strategy there (knowing he was a fan of the Avalanche growing up) I’m sure he would eventually bring up the name of a recent Hockey Hall of Fame inductee we Avs fans are pretty fond of. He actually does just that here. Check out the similarities, including the bottom hand off the stick to protect the puck. Peter Forsberg, take it away.

Goal against the Wild: http://safeshare.tv/w/UvNnTiYISI

Good to know I’m not the only one who thinks this way when we see Duchene try this move too:

The ol Forsberg. Nice Matty.

Great minds think (and tweet) alike Dario. Nice.

So ultimately an assist can’t officially be given to Peter Forsberg on Matt Duchene’s goal, but it was plenty close enough.

Let’s Go Avs.

My Virtual MeiGray Expo Table

August 21, 2013 by Jay Vean - The AHP

Not too long ago the 10th annual MeiGray Expo took place and for the tenth straight year…I didn’t attend. I always come up with reasons for not going from it’s during my summer vacation, to how expensive it is to fly into Newark for just one day, to now having two young girls at home, to how I would ship the jerseys I’d want to share there, and the list goes on and on. I would love to go to one of the expos in the future. It looks like a blast. This year I started to think about what I’d bring with me to show off at my table if I did make it out there.

So without further ado, and in order of age (beginning with the oldest), here are the jerseys I would showcase at my MeiGray Expo table. Thanks for stopping by. Let’s scroll, shall we?
