Avalanche Clinch Playoff Spot with Win Over Canucks
Avs Talk - A Colorado Avalanche Blog — ... like to give a big wave to a couple Canucks fans. I'm not sure what their names are but last year at GM place on April 5th they had some choice words for me after the Avalanche win. Well, karma is a bitch, isn't it?
