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.

March 14, 2014. Avalanche vs. Ducks

I don't really prefer wearing jerseys with signatures on them.  As a result of that, I don't have many signed jerseys in my jersey collection.  This jersey is an exception to that rule.

Fact about this jersey: The signature was on this jersey before I had it made into a 2000 Joe Sakic all-star jersey.  

Another fact: The signature on the jersey is not Joe Sakic's signature.  

Confused yet?  You should be.  I wrote a blog post about this jersey that will help make some sense out of the whole situation.  Check it out here:

Two more huge points are up for grabs Friday night against Anaheim.  The Ducks were beaten handily by the Calgary Flames on Wednesday night.  Between that and the beat down the Avs put on the Ducks during the season opener I'm counting on a spirited match up between two pretty decent hockey clubs.

Let's Go Avs.
