I tried FreeNX out a while back when I was searching for an alternative to VNC. I can't remember now why I decided against it, but I do remember being fairly impressed with it.

They definitely missed his presence in the lineup last year.

Also, you'll need a bounce-back year from Hejduk and for youngsters like Svatos and Wolski t...

Konowalchuk retires

According to TSN because of a heart condition.

This sucks. Not only did he add a tangible presence on the ice for Colorado, but he had become a great leader for them. His health comes first, obviously, but damn it sucks to lose him right now.

Nor should you be. Marc Denis is a typical career backup goalie in the NHL: good for a handful of (meaningless) games to rest your starter, and that's about it. This is why Colorado let him walk in the first place. He can't handle the rigors of a full NHL season.
