it’s Lappy, actually. I wonder if some of his heart rubbed off on Arnie…

I just noticed this, but is that your hand on his shoulder in that picture?

Can you prove that it ISN’T??

I was never a fan of Arny and like most I don’t think he has given me any reason to change that. I have seen players get benched for better play and hustle than he has shown, yet for what ever reason the coaching staff had seen fit to keep him on the ice. It just seem like it’s time to let a younger guy take the spot and make Arnason earn it back or part ways.

I’d prefer Hensick or Jones get his spot just due to the inconsistency. Or Mike Knuble. That would work too…

I wasn’t an Arnason fan when he joined the team and to me he hasn’t done anything to change my view. Any talent he has is pretty much moot if he doesn’t use it on most nights. So what does he bring? Defense? No. Faceoffs? No. Penalty killing? No. Physical play? No. Scoring? Only in occasional spurts. If a forward isn’t scoring then he better be doing something else on the ice and I just rarely see that with Arnason.

Chicago gave up on him. Ottawa gave up on him. He’s done little to prove his long term impact in Colorado. There are other players that probably deserve a shot instead of the Avs still giving Arnason yet another chance.

hmmm, I’m against your “Don’t trade Arnason” policy…

… but I am for your “keep him on the team as a healthy scratch” policy.
