Avs, Broncos, Nuggets and Rockies: Headed for glory or destined for failure?

September 12, 1:12 PM

by Erin Hickey, Denver Sports Examiner

As sports fans, we are entering the most magical time of the year. And as Denver sports fans, we are particularly blessed… for in less than two months, we will be rooting on not one, not two, but three major sports teams. (Sorry Rockies, I’ve given up on you. Let’s hope, by some miracle, that you can prove me wrong.)

Come October, Jay Cutler and the Broncos will be well on their way to winning the AFC West, and the Pepsi center will come alive again as Sakic’s Avs start their quest for a cup and Melo’s Nuggets take aim at a top spot in the NBA’s brutal western conference.

With so much sporty goodness heading our way, I thought it would be a perfect time for another Examiner poll. The question: Which Denver sports team will have the most success this year? Talk amongst yourselves….

If you visit the hockey pages of both ESPN.com and Yahoo! Sports this morning, you’ll see, front and center, a photo of Peter Forsberg and Joe Sakic, along with the headlines “The Big Ifs” and “Time of Change”. Scary thoughts... Read More

Dear Joe Sakic,Please don’t go yet. The game still needs you. The Avs still need you. The fans still need you.Yes, you’re old… but not Chris Chelios old. And you obviously still have some tricks left in the bag. After all, you... Read More

Granato gets another shot

May 22, 1:53 PM

Though he didn't make my coaching wish list, and he's no Chuck Norris, I'm happy to see that the Avs are giving Tony Granato a second chance. He's been with the organization since 2002, so he knows the ropes and has earned the respect of both players... Read More

Blame the Rockies

April 30, 8:42 AM

As any frustrated fan would do, I have have been looking for answers (and excuses) lately. Why couldn't the Nuggets finally win a first round playoff series? Why couldn't they win just one game? Why can't the Avs keep up with the Red Wings? Why... Read More
