Here’s the first of what should be many pictures and videos of the latest high-profile newcomer to the Avs, Jarome Iginla. I snapped this one off today at Family Sports Center, where most all Avs regular roster players were on hand for an informal practice and scrimmage following rookie camp. I didn’t notice too many guys huffing and puffing out there. As I noted yesterday, everybody comes into camp in top shape already now, unlike the old days.
Players were off limits to the media in the dressing room following the scrimmage, so I got no quotes to share with you from anyone. Those will come soon enough too.
It’s going to take some time getting used to seeing Iginla in an Avs sweater, right?
A few other notes: Paul Stastny’s number 26 already has been given away. I’m pretty sure Paul Carey was wearing it today, though I wasn’t positive it was him….John Mitchell was out there, wearing his No. 7. I guess that means Brad Stuart will be getting another number then. Stuart was not there today, though, so we’ll see. Daniel Briere was another player I didn’t see there. …Nathan MacKinnon? He looked fast(er). And bigger.
Some video from today:
Here’s some of Nathan MacKinnon doing his thing:
