Hope to see him skate at least a shift in the last home game.

No big surprise, but at least its official. Hejduk is still an original Av.

Technically yes since he was drafted by the Nordiques. But he wasn't on that first Avs team to take the ice.

Forsberg and Foote in the same year. Hopefully Foote can play one more time.

Have we heard anything from Owen Nolan in the past couple months? Is Foote going to be considered the last Nordique to retire?

Drij · 04-07-2011, 10:08 AM

It was time. Thanks for the memories.

Hopefully he can suit up once more before its done. Congrats on an amazing career Footer!

Forever an Av!!

Owen Nolan is playing over here in Switzerland. Don't know if he's back for ZSC Lions next year or not. They're the Wings to our Avs (EV Zug for me) and I hate them

Anyways, back on topic.

for Adam Foote - a warrior and a legend. Thank you!

Very nice to see this made the Front page of ESPN.com in the headlines section. I figured it would be relegated to the NHL page only with MLB and the Masters going on today.
