According to some Colorado Avalanche fans, defenseman Brandon Gormley is the second coming of John Michael Liles, or at least a sharp upgrade on the likes of Nate Guenin or Brad Stuart.
Gormley had to sit out the first five games of the season while Nikita Zadorov got his shot at the new team, Guenin made the team every night and even Stuart got tapped to play.
Well, with Tyson Barrie out with his over-long suspension, Brandon Gormley finally got his chance, against the Carolina Hurricanes.
