The irrational hatred toward the Avalanche is baffling to me

"Some guys are more worried about their [Las] Vegas trip at the end of the season than playing the games, than playing every minute of the games," a fuming Giguere told the Denver Post after seeing the Avalanche's record fall to an NHL-worst 12-22-5.

"It’s embarrassing. I’m embarrassed to be here right now. … Quite frankly, I don’t care about your Vegas trip right now."
It's the coach's fault the players quit last year? I don't think Giguere has an irrational hatred for the Avalanche.
