from Sean Keeler of the Denver Post,

Hey, Gary. Come here. See that shiny thing in the sky? The big yellow one? Looks like the front of a Raisin Bran box?

At high noon, on a clear day — deep breath, now — it melts ice at elevation.

I mean, who knew?...

The next time Bettman asks the Avs to play outdoors, they ought to take a nice, long, hard pass. The next time Gary pulls up in the clown car, let some other suckers ride shotgun.

“The cloud cover,” Bettman remarked, eyes skyward, as announcers Mike Tirico and Eddie Olczyk watched uncomfortably, “is everywhere but where the sun is.”

Again: Who knew?

Stay away, Avs.

Stay far away.
