Ho-ho-who? Colorado Avalanche Right Wing Ian Laperriere
Best Christmas memory: " During the hockey lockout, I was able to have both my family and my wife's family together for Christmas back home in Montreal. It was the first time in about 15 years that we were able to all be together."

Avalanche 7 - Oilers 6 (Ian Laperriere - Fight vs. Brad Winchester) "Laperriere went again for the Avs. Lappy now leads the league with 10 fighting majors, and the Avalanche now have a total of 10 fighting majors. I'm sure the willing workhorse won't complain, but he probably wouldn't mind a little help." --From hockeyfights.com

FIGHT NIGHT RETURNS Avalanche winger Ian Laperriere watched Denver Nuggets star Carmelo Anthony get a 15-game suspension from the NBA for punching New York Knicks' Mardy Collins. He just whistled softly. "If they suspended me 15 games for all the punches I've thrown, I'd be out of the league," said Laperriere, who had a spirited scrap with Oilers winger Brad Winchester in the second period. Anthony ran to centre court after the punch last Saturday. Would that happen in the NHL? "Not with anybody who's six-foot-seven. Maybe if a guy was five-foot-seven in hockey he might run away," said Laperriere. --The Edmonton Journal, 12/20/06

We sat next to the Avs tunnel...ran into a few people in their Lappy shirts. I gave one to Mike Haynes during the first intermission.
Besides the fight, another highlight of the game was seeing someone who shall remain nameless singing "Sexy Back" along with Justin Timberlake as he skated over to the bench...very funny.
Here are 2 of my photos from the game:
