Let Boogaard Play

from Adrian Dater at All Things Avs,

The Avs no doubt are saying their prayers that a guy like Boogaard will be in the lineup a LOT in this series. He’s slow, not skilled and if he wants to fight guys all night and/or take dumb penalties, the Avs will take that all night long.

I don’t know what to think about the Wild. They’re a very good team, fast, with some good skill. But their defense isn’t overpowering. I mean, this is a D that suits up a has-been like Sean Hill, a soon-to-be has-been like Keith Carney and, lest anybody in Denver forget, Martin Skooooo(no, those are boos)la.

But I got a whiff tonight of a team that talks a little too much for one that has won the square root of Sweet Fanny Adam in this league.

If Boorgard plays it will be good for Colorado because anytime he is near Forsberg he will dive and Boorgard will sit for 2 minutes or less.

I’m assuming that Boogaard is more likely to be used against the Ducks than the Avalanche, if the series fall like that.

They wanted to get stronger because of what happened last year against Anaheim.  Minnesota has had some pretty good playoffs against Colorado in the past.
