Avs vs. Devils. January 16, 2014
I'm going to Thursday night's game with one of my best friends in the whole world. His name is Garrett. He's one of the biggest Martin Brodeur fans you'll ever find. When he's not rooting for Martin Brodeur he's a big Avs fan too. I'm cool with that.
The Devils wear a special set of jerseys for one game near St. Patrick's Day every year. Martin Brodeur didn't dress for that game last year because he was injured. The team made a jersey for Brodeur to wear in that game though. My buddy ended up buying the jersey Brodeur would have worn if he had played in or dressed for that game. He's going to wear it to Pepsi Center on Thursday night.
Garrett isn't playing around, so naturally I'm not going to play around either. I'm going with this.
This Peter Forsberg jersey is one of my favorite jerseys in my collection. It's very difficult to acquire game worn jerseys from Hall of Fame players for an affordable price. I definitely got lucky on this one. There are plenty more details about how this jersey ended up hanging in my closet here.
Avs/Devils games bring back great hockey memories for me. I'm sure they do for many other Avalanche fans as well. Thursday night will be no different.
Let's Go Avs.
