Did you see The Flower wilt?
Four months too late, but whatever. Ten minutes into the season opener, there was Marc-Andre Fleury, shaking his head, spanked by a 20-year-old, trailing 3-0 at Ball Arena and looking for the reset button on the PlayStation.
Bo Byram made The Flower feel bad.
Man, did that feel gooooood.
“Obviously, it’s something you dream about for a long time,” Byram said with a grin late Wednesday night after firing the third goal, his first in an Avs sweater, during a 4-2 win over Chicago in the season opener.
