Denver Post sports writers Terry Frei and Mike Chambers post the Avs Mailbag every other Thursday during the regular season.
Pose an Avalanche- or NHL-related question for the Avs Mailbag.
Is this a "show me" year for Patrick Roy?
--Louie Martinez, El Centro, Calif.
Thanks for the question Louie. The head coach had a "mulligan" available for last season's collapse from his Jack Adams Award-winning rookie season. Year 3 will explain a lot about his coaching abilities.
From the 2009 draft: John Tavares (Islanders) had a near MVP season last year and has started this season where he left off last year.
