April 30, 2014. Avs vs. Wild

Game seven.  There's nothing quite like it.  It's where heroes are made.  When it came to clutch skaters, especially in the Stanley Cup playoffs, there were none better than number 19.  Pretty easy choice for me for tonight's game.

Joe Sakic owns the record for playoff overtime winning goals in NHL history with eight.  That's two more than anyone else who has ever played the game.  I'm hoping the Avs won't need an overtime hero tomorrow night, but if that's what it takes to advance I'll take it.

April 26, 2014. Avs vs. Wild

Trying to bring back some of the magic from the last Stanley Cup run by wearing this to the game tonight. 

It's the Stanley Cup playoffs so I thought a Stanley Cup patch would help me fit in just fine.  And there's no such thing as going wrong with Shjon Podein.  Period.

HUGE game five tonight.  There's not much more to say than...

Let's Go Avs.

April 19, 2014. Avs vs. Wild

After game one’s clutch shenanigans it was made pretty clear whose jersey I was going to wear to game two tonight.

This is not a game worn jersey. I had this jersey made to replicate a game worn jersey though. The patch you see on it was worn in one game and one game only during the 2006-2007 season.

Every NHL team wore a set of jerseys with this patch on them during their first home games early in 2007.  The Avs wore their special set at Pepsi Center on January 5, 2007.  Paul Stastny recorded a goal and two assists as the Avs defeated the Tampa Bay Lightning that night by a score of 4-2.  The money made from auctioning these jerseys off benefited the Garth Brooks Teammates for Kids Foundation.

The jersey Paul Stastny wore during that game in 2007 has now been cut up and placed in jersey cards.  Here's my biggest clue to that fact via a card that now lives in my collection.

The Avs did what they do on Thursday night and came back late in the game to defeat the Wild 5-4 in overtime. I'm hoping a comeback won't be necessary tonight, but I wouldn't mind seeing another one if that's what it takes to grab a 2-0 lead in this series.  2-0 leads are good.

Let's Go Avs.
