Colorado Avalanche defenseman Ryan Graves worked hard over the summer. Naturally, all the players work hard. However, Graves worked with special people over the summer — specifically Nathan MacKinnon and his sidekick Sidney Crosby.
The three, along with Avs prospect Shane Bowers, hail from the same neck of the woods, Nova Scotia.
During the offseason, I did a post about Graves talking about wanting to make the NHL roster full time. The Maritimer wanted to make good. To be honest, I thought he’d have a hard time with that endeavor considering how stacked the Avs blueline has become.
