Miss Hockey? Xbox Fills Gap.

If you don't know that the NHL hockey season is on hold due to a labor strike then you probably don't need to read the rest of this.

Two players from the ages of 8 to 14 will play a video version of each scheduled Avs game until the NHL resumes play. The Post will provide a short report on the outcome of each Video Hockey League game." To read the most recent recap, which has Alexander Mogilny (pictured) scoring an OT goal go here.
