Nobody knew how to pronounce Peter Budaj's last name a couple years ago in Denver. Now, most everybody knows it's "Boo-Die." The Avalanche second-year goaltender continues to slowly, but surely, make a good name for himself in the NHL. Off the ice, the Slovakian tries to live a life full of serenity, spirituality - and fun. You never know, you might see Budaj driving to church - in his high-powered, custom-made sports car.
Dater: You waited months for a custom-made Audi RS4, only to see it badly damaged the first day you took delivery when an elderly lady hit you. How's the replacement coming?
Budaj: My car is running absolutely great. I love it. I got the new one, finally.
Dater: All is forgiven toward the old lady?
Budaj: Yeah, that stuff is going to happen sometimes. There's a couple of practical jokes about that since then, by the team. But it's all good. I have my car right now.
Dater: Like many Europeans, you like fast cars.
Budaj: We do like fast cars, yes.
