The Wire Troll: Buried in an Avalanche

So what can you do as an owner? Surely you saw the trades that the Colorado Avalanche made and immediately cringed horribly. Now, the Avs will try to tell you that these trades were absolutely necessary and, yes, this team has plunged worse than the New Jersey Devils did in the first few months, but there were a lot of things that went wrong with Colorado.

The Wire Troll: Rip Van Winkle Lives?

The Wire Troll: Better Late Than Never

Can you imagine how strange it is looking at the way this season has unfolded, Fantasy-wise? Think about it for one second when you get a chance.
