P. A. Parenteau said he'll be "patient" and a "a good pro" when discussing coach Patrick Roy's decision to make him a healthy scratch for a second straight time Thursday night. Roy doesn't like making Parenteau a healthy scratch either, but he has some tough lineup decisions in front of him. "I like P.A. He's a great guy," Roy said. "Unfortunately in this business when you get hurt it gives opportunity for others - and that's what I ask, to take advantage of an opportunity with a player is hurt - and I like the lineup that I have right now. McGinn has scored almost every other night for us and with Tanguay, Stastny and Landeskog we're 14-1." Trade rumors have swirled around Parenteau because of his extended stay in the press box, but for now he's still on the Avalanche and he can't seem to crack the lineup since returning earlier than expected from a knee injury.
