As has been noted here before we are big sports fans here in The Household. And in spite of where we live 2nd place, after golf, does not belong to the orange and blue. Since 1995 the boys on the ice have been firmly entrenched at that second spot. This past week was bitter sweet for us Avs fans. Joe Sakic officially retired. We knew it was coming, but it is still hard to say goodbye. Joe says he will be working on his golf game. Which makes perfect sense, because if ever there was A Golfer in another sport it is Joe Sakic.
For those of you not familiar with hockey, and not familiar with Joe, here are two articles by Woody Paige that pretty much sum things up.
It is being said that after taking a couple of years off Joe would like to join the Avalanche organization in some management/coaching capacity. I certainly hope so. Having Gentleman Joe being part of any organization would raise the character of said organization by about 100 notches.
I know this is a golf blog but I hope you’ll forgive this brief interlude while we say Good Bye Joe. And thanks for everything.
