Relief is finally here, Avs fans. No more startling, sweat-soaked leaps from the pillow at 3 a.m., following visions of Tyler Arnason playing for your team. No longer will you have to pound the table after seeing Arnie get the puck taken off his stick, then watching him casually skate back to ...

Haha - Rangers Sign Tyler Arnason
The Avslova Factor —
It's official - Tyler Arnason is no longer a member of the Colorado Avalanche. WOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Check out the positive spin of the signing on the New York Rangers website. In addition, Arnason has recorded two career hat tricks, and was selected to the 2003 NHL All-Rookie Team following his first full season with Chicago. When a player's only career highlights are a couple of hat tricks and an All-Rookie Team selection, it probably means the player sucks. Arnason will always be remembered as one of the most ...

... to look at an Avalanche payroll list and see Arnie making more money than guys like Lappy. No longer will you have to see Arnie shy away from making any contact with an opponent, which if he’d done so might have resulted in the Avalanche having the puck. It’s all over. Arnie is, appropriately enough, a New York Ranger - the team that never saw an over-the-hill, overpaid Avs player they didn’t like. Bon voyage, Arnie. Or should it be: bon bon voyage?
