Colorado got owned in my mind.

I agree.

I think that we should have gotten Craig if it was at all possible. Even next year when he goes UFA.

The guy is nuts.

Tootoo does NOT belong on this team. He is classless and I would rather see the Wings be bad than classless. I feel the same way about Bertuzzi as well, but he at least CAN make the team better. With Tootoo the team becomes worse and in danger of being classless. Would you have liked Claude on the team? Or Roy? No. So why would you be okay with that POS.

Must be something more to this behind the scenes/lockeroom. Craig is having a down year but still doesn't make sense why they just would give him away.

I agree with a lot of you there had to be something else going on because I dont understand why the Avs would give up on him after 1 bad year unless they think last year was a fluke. But look at Tim Thomas he had a horrible year last now he arguably could win the Hart for league MVP thats how good he has been this year.

Colorado easily has some of the worst goaltending in the NHL now.
