Writing History In Denver

Joe Sakic’s number went up to the rafters of the Ass Can last night, along with long-time teammate Ray Bourque and the dignified Patrick Roy. I didn’t watch it.  VH1 was doing a three-hour long examination of one-hit wonders and the similarities between the Penguins and A-ha were too striking to click away from.  So I missed out on The Other 19’s night.  And in doing so I missed these revelations:  Joe Sakic never played for Quebec.  The Dive franchise didn’t start out in Quebec.  Sakic’s career, just like modern hockey, actually began in 1995 instead of what his bio says...1989. Stay classy Denver.
