Thanks for your post. You and Habsy are regular contributors to this forum and always provide gracious, inciteful comments. Before the game, I talked to a guy who drove from Montreal to watch this game - tried to speak a little bit of French - and then we had a nice chat in English. I'm sure...
According to The Athletic, police in Florida were responding to a suicide attempt in a store owned by Claude Lemieux, but no details on his death have been released.
I watched bits and pieces of the game until about midway through the 3rd period and it was abundantly clear that the Avs were toast. They had nothing going for them and looked hapless in trying to drum up some sustained offense. The Curse continues.
