from Todd Kimberley at NHL.com,
Wasn’t the pain supposed to end April 12?
That’s what Colorado Avalanche fans must be asking in the midst of a surreal summer—which followed the worst NHL season Denver has seen since the Avs relocated there from Quebec City in 1995.
A mea culpa comes from no less than team president Pierre Lacroix, who had waded back into the fray after working behind the scenes in semi-retirement since 2005.
“It was my mess. I caused it,” Lacroix said. “I have no excuses. We lost our way of doing business. But our people, our organization, our owner, our players and I will clean it up.”
