*According to ESPN, the Denver Post reports (6pm est) is out Thurs game with knee injury.
SO, this begs to question, at the halfway point of the 2011-2012 season, did we make the right call in the goal?
In my completely unprofessional opinion, yes. It breaks my heart that we let Varly go via trade since I was a huge fan from day one, but comparing his stats to Vokoun's at the halfway point one would have to argue that Vokoun has been more successful of the trio this year. Once you start thinking about the offensive weapons each team has, you have to think the chances for Vokoun's numbers to progressively get better over the second half are great since the team has seemingly "bought-in" to Coach Hunter's scheme (Knock on Wood). The bargain price we signed Vokoun for and with two promising goalies in Neuvy and Holtby, the two draft picks we got from the Avalanche was a complete steal. Add the fact that Varly now has a knee injury (anyone surprised?), then the Avalanche will have to rely on Giguere from here on out as their work horse. GMGM did a good job in this one off-season move in my books. With the number one job seemingly locked up, look for Vokoun to have a killer January, in my opinion, that will leave our painful November-December quietly drifting away in our thoughts.
As Always, GO CAPS!
