So I’m gonna do something a little different.
Did you know?
Sakic was drafted 10 picks after Chris “Superstar Journeyman” Joseph.
Sakic played for one franchise. Joseph played for 7. Joseph scored 39 goals in 14 seasons. Sakic had more goals than 39.
Sakic wore two numbers in his NHL career. He wore #88 in his rookie season.
Sakic had a mullet early on.
(Please send me better photos if you have them! I know they exist!)
Sakic got black eyes occasionally.
Sakic fought twice.
Watch Sakic fight Doug Gilmore. (and listen to Haynes strain his vocal chords)
According to hockeyfights.com, Joe had one other fight in Feb 1990 against Toronto’s Gary Leeman. No video that I'm aware of exists on the interwebs.
Like I said before, its going to be really, really weird to see another Avs player wearing the C next season. Looking forward to #19 being raised at Pepsi Center early next season. My money is on the first home game against Vancouver.
I guess 20 years wasn’t long enough. We will miss you, Joe.
