Peter Budaj is in Denver practicing with some of the Colorado Avalanche players during the lockout. "I'm working out with some quality shooters," Budaj said. "You can't compare it to organized NHL practice, but it's a pretty high level and we try to keep the intensity up and do drills that will benefit goalies and players." The lockout is also giving him more time to spend with his 2-year-old son, who is already "playing sports all the time." Budaj also hasn't ruled out the possibility of playing in Europe and might look into it in a couple of weeks if the lockout hasn't been resolved.
