"A flash bulb from a fan goes off as former Colorado Avalanche captain Joe Sakic speaks during a ceremony to honor his retirement after 20 years with the organization at the Pepsi Center in Denver, Thursday, Oct. 1, 2009. The 13-time all-star led the Avalanche to two Stanley Cup Championships during his career."
"Super Joe, super Joe, super Joe," the crowd chanted tonight at the Pepsi Center as they came in swarms to honor the man who helped bring the first professional sports championship and Stanley Cup to Denver.
I've been covering all things Sakic and Avalanche for the Journal De Quebec this week. Between my assignments, putting together a new portfolio for my upcoming trip to EAW, and running errands I've been so busy that I haven't had time to post.
My assignment really only involved the Sakic ceremony, and not the game, so I'm done. There are zero open ice positions to shoot from and I didn't bring any long glass so I'm not going to shoot any of the game. I'm actually writing this from the photo workroom at the Pepsi Center and I have to head out so I'm going to cut this short. I leave on Sunday for 12 combined days in Chicago and New York so I'll have plenty to post soon.
