BY THE BEARD OF ZANON!
A Colorado Avalanche fan brought a very clever sign to the team's home opener on Tuesday night against the defending champion Los Angeles Kings at Pepsi Center.
The sign read, "By the beard of Zanon!", in reference to the "By the beard of Zeus" line from Will Ferrell in Anchorman, and in reference to the current beard that Avalanche defenseman Greg Zanon...
Statistical Profile: Greg Zanon
Greg Zanon was the Avs second* move in the 2012 free agency day, but he's going to be the first guy I profile. (*Matt Carkner excepted)Let's start with some basics and work our way into the advanced stuff.

62. New Jersey Devils at Boston Bruins. SON OF THE DEVIL, KNEEL BEFORE ZANON!
Is it wrong of me that I want Greg Zanon to step out onto the ice, grab Patrick Elias by the helmet, rip his head off and then scream into the air? If it is wrong, I don't want to be right.

WILMINGTON, Mass. -- Greg Zanon knows his way around the defensive zone. Finding his way in a new city is another matter.
