Injury Benches Laperriere (from the Denver Post, 3/30/07) "It took until the end of March, in his second season, for Ian Laperriere to miss his first game with the Avalanche. --Adrian Dater
From the Avs Mailbag "How secure do you think Ian Laperriere is? He is a special player, and I don't think it would settle too well with the fans to see him go." -- Stan, Pueblo "Stan - I think Lappy will be back next year. Let's face it, his numbers were down offensively, and that hurt the team in the first half of the season. But he had a lot of scoring chances. He was simply robbed on a lot of them. It was a real frustrating time for him. But through it all he kept battling and now he's scoring more, and of course his leadership has been great. He was their de facto fighter most of the year, too, and there is still a big place for that in the game. So, I think you'll see the Avs bring him back." (Adrian Dater - Denver Post, 3/28/07)

Sakic, Laperriere Lead Playoff Run (from the Rocky Mountain News) "One is a Hall-of-Fame shoe-in, the other simply wears shoes while visiting the Hall of Fame.

One is a finesse player with a lethal scoring punch, the other scores points with his teammates by throwing an occasional punch..." Read the rest here...
