Beamer - Our next interview heads out to the Essr Coast and chatting with Avs GM Robby. Welcome Sir! Question 1. How do you see your Avalanche team doing this year in SCD?
Robby - Hi Beamer … to be honest haha I am top loaded at Center that will carry me thru a up and down season I fear and my depth in Goal took a huge drop with Bobrovsky lost so hoping a goalie by committee can help me thru to once again make a playoff appearance. I still have hope from a couple of young players that could make NHL and help me out as well. With some fantasy luck I think I can make another playoff run
Beamer - Well for my team's standpoint you always give them a rough ride. Losing Bob would be a huge pill to swallow....but yes, you have a solid core of centers that that's an important position to fill as you know. Question 2. Who's your picks for SCD and IRL NHL finalists?
Robby - Well I will start with IRL NHL finalist. Im a Toronto fan so I believe barring major injuries I think they will get there and hopefully raised the Cup over Calgary. The Flames have a solid lineup with the disappointing playoff finish I feel they will make amends for that mistake. For SCD I think Carolina and yourself would probably be my guess for the season in our League.
Beamer - Good picks.. One day, the Leafs will win the Cup.....and their window is open now for a year with great D core now. All you guys pumping my tires....gonna take one bad week and boom...I'm out. Thank you for the kudos though. Question 3. Should your SCD team wear their predecessor team's jerseys at some point in the coming years much like what the Hurricanes did when they wore the glorious greens of the Hartford Whalers? Why or why not? Seeing the likes of MacKinnon, Rantanen (when he signs), Makar et al wearing the Nordiques threads would bring a tear of joy to my eye.
Robby - Well its a tough question kinda since I love my leafs to think about other memorabilia of other Teams haha .. I can say it would be cool to see the original Jersey Ala Wilf Paiement Lanny MacDonald and Last hurrah for Grapes … But every time I see the ole North Stars Logo I think as a kid buying hockey cards and still smelling the gum stick inside hahaha … Hope I answer this like a true fan haha. But guess that Logo probably not their property ?
Beamer - Depends on the team...Dallas owns the North Stars logo, but the Wild were able to use it for an outdoor game for their alumni. The original Jets....I believe the league owned it do the Jets 2.0 could use the original logo. The Devils I think own the Rockies logo (which would also be cool for the Avs to use). I think the Avs do own the Nordiques logo etc... I'm with you though...I see those old logos and I think of my memories as a hockey card collecting kid..... Question 4 What's your favorite kind of cookie?
Robby - Haha … Are we talking food? or Character? … Can't be any puppet better than Cookie Monster haha but as for the food Jam Jams was probably my favorite childhood cookie along with Snowballs if that is considered a cookie
)
Beamer - For this exercise the food...mmmmmm Jam Jams. Nom nom nom Snowballs count in my opinion as well.. goodcthing I'm going for coffee soon....I may grab a cookie to go along with it. Last question if you were a member of the A Team, which character would you be and why?
Robby - Oh boy … I kinda like BA because fear of flying to a point but also like Faceman and Hannibal … Faceman for the dude to attract the ladies haha and Hannibal for being the Leader of the group getting them all to come together
Beamer - Pretty much the right answer....a blend of 3 of them. No need to mention Howling Mad Murdock....that guy albeit funny, should have had his face punched in. Great chat Robby.....best of luck this season and don't forget to NOT ice a lineup against the Flames this year in our head to head matchups.
