 David Aebischer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
David Aebischer (Äbischer) (born February 7, 1978, in Fribourg, Switzerland) is a professional ice hockey player.
Drafted 161st overall by the Colorado Avalanche in the 1997 NHL Entry Draft, David Aebischer was initially the third-choice goaltender for the Avs, but when Marc Denis was traded away to the Columbus Blue Jackets, Aebischer found himself the apprentice to the legendary Patrick Roy.
With Roy's retirement, Aebischer had big pads and gloves to fill and responded well, proving his ability to be a starting goalie by posting a 2.03 goals-against average in the 2003-04 season.

 Aebischer under the microscope By Larry Wigge   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
It's a little premature to say, considering that the 26-year-old Aebischer played in only 35 minutes in the playoffs over the past three seasons when he was the backup to living legend Patrick Roy in the Colorado Avalanche net.
Now Aebischer, basically untested until this season and already beyond his mid-20s with no pedigree to speak on the world stage, is trying to replace this icon.
With that, Aebischer pointed to the corner of the Avs locker room, where that puck and three others stood near the ceiling to signify that Colorado had now achieved four of the 16 wins they need to win the Stanley Cup.
