I was always a fan of his when he was here. I am sure this will get lots of flak, but I am happy he has landed on his feet and is playing well in Denver.

Too old. Too slow. The game passed him by. Throw-in. Had to take him.
Those were some of the unflattering things said about Cory Sarich when a trade sending him from the Calgary Flames to the Avalanche was announced this summer, right before the NHL draft. He was a 35-year-old defenseman who often was a healthy scratch with one of the worst teams in the league last season. Expectations were low for the native of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Could he even stick with the Avs?
The answer: a resounding yes. Nobody is ready to hand him a Norris Trophy just yet, but Sarich has been the Avs' best defenseman in their 3-0 start. After Tuesday's game at Toronto — where he scored his first goal in 65 games and only
his 21st in 918 games overall — Sarich has a plus-5 rating.
