Matt Ross: Budaj: The Everyman That Made It Happen

Always enjoyed Budaj as an Avs fan, he was always a competitor but never developed into what the Avs wanted. Great guy

I hope you guys find some inspiration from his career and words. If anything, maybe it'll fill that hockeyless void we've all been feeling...

He was my favorite victim when Colorado played LA (especially at Frozen Fury games) and became one of my favorite goailies in LA. I was actually sad when they traded him to Tampa Bay along with Erik Cernak for Bishop. He was the spark that season when Quick was out and it all started falling apart when he was traded. Glad the Kings gave him some respect and hope he enjoys retirement.
