Well, all good things come to an end, and that includes Calum Ritchie’s first taste of NHL action. But was it actually a good thing?
The 19-year-old kid had a shot at making the team because the Colorado Avalanche were riddled with injuries at forward (bad thing!). In the preseason and training camp, he proved that he could play with NHL-caliber players (a good thing!) and had a little flair unseen amongst the Avs' typical stable of late first-rounders with upside and defensive forwards.
The more you watch this Calum Ritchie goal, the more you realize how crazy it is.
