You've got May-al
Fans in Colorado took full advantage of the opportunity to email Avalanche VP of Communication Jean Martineau with their thoughts on the signing of self-proclaimed 'bounty hunter' and ex-Canuck, Brad May.
Sportsnet.ca -- Considering the pack of post-lockout free-agents available, the Colorado Avalanche might have picked the only player fans do not want in the lineup.
In the wake of the club signing former Vancouver Canuck Brad May to a contract, local columnist Dave Krieger posted the email address (with permission) of Jean Martineau, the Avs' senior vice president for communication, inviting fans to send the exec their feelings on May.
The response? Just 48 hours after the invite, Martineau was the recipient of 344 messages. Three supported the May signing. One asked May to beat up Todd Bertuzzi. The remainder used various adjectives to describe the feeling of watching a player who publicly placed a bounty of Avs' forward Steve Moore.
The Avs are not a team desperate to sell tickets, but rumblings of boycotting the team after the dubious signing reverberated throughout the city; vowing to return when the team cut May. Several season-ticket holders even resented the fact renewals had been sent in prior to the May arrival.
The most succinct of the messages simply pointed out the irony of the whole scene:
"It is bizarre to fill Moore's roster spot with a litigant in his lawsuit."
May signing aside, Colorado also lost all-stars Adam Foote and Peter Forsberg to free-agency in the offseason.
