Other: Rene spent his first couple of season bouncing between the Avs and their farm team, which used to be the Cornwall Aces. But now he is here to stay. With all the previous injuries to the Avs, Rene stepped up in a big way. He always plays 110% when he's on the ice and kept a plus minus of +8 for a good chunck of the season. Rene is single, much to the girls delight (They think he's very handsome!!!!), and he lives with Eric Lacroix. He, like all the other Avs, loves to golf. He had a tournament around the Stanley Cup when he brought it home to Quebec. His favorite movie is Shawshank redemption. His, and Eric's, favorite band is U2 and they love eating at the Chophouse in Denver. He was injured in a game against Detroit and suffered a concussion as a result of a hit by Aaron Ward. He also is responcible for a break away-shoulder fake-goal that is refered to as "THE goal". Oh yeah, did I mention that he has a special accent!!!! *melt*
