Colorado Avalanche: O'Reilly The Factor in Avs Win
After a pretty evenly matched game in which the Carolina Hurricanes and Colorado Avalanche traded goals into a 3-3 regulation tie, Ryan O'Reilly, nicknamed "Factor" blasted a shot past goalie Cam Ward to send the Avs to victory with only 1.2 seconds left.

from Adam Proteau of The Hockey News, ...Here are the 10 NHLers most in need of a new playing home:

The End of the Stastny Legacy
Before Joe Sakic, the greatest Quebec Nordique was Peter Stastny. Over his long career Sakic uprooted Stastny as the face of a franchise that moved to Colorado. But the allure of Rookie of the Year, Stastny, and the reunion with his brothers, Anton and Marian, has always been a story line for Colorado/Quebec.
The Stastny brothers, especially Anton and Peter, were the face of the...

Aaron Musick: Peter Mueller returns home in style
When the Florida Panthers have nightmares, it has to be about Colorado Avalanche players with the first name "Peter."
Peter Mueller returned home and channeled Forsbergs aura from the night Forsberg had six points for 6-5 win against Florida. Mueller scored two goals and nearly had a third if it weren't for a tip of Paul Stastny sending it past Jose Theodore.
