Hidden Game: Talented Avalanche bury shell-shocked Canadiens
Our new favourite player: Colorado’s Ivan Ivan, a 23-year-old forward from the Czech Republic in his second NHL season. We wonder why his parents couldn’t think of a more original first name? He has a younger brother, Filip, who also plays the sport. One out of two ain’t bad. We only wish Ivan Ivan had a middle name — yeah, Ivan. He played 10:23, had one shot, one block and one hit against Montreal. Otherwise, we might refer to him as Ivan the Terrible.
