Well, well, well! Wasn’t Joe Sakic night just the bomb? The Real Denver Sports staff had a great time at the game and rather good seats, thanks to pure luck. Sitting on the club level is a rare treat in of itself. And we happened to pick the best corner, Joe was talking right to us!
And just by luck, we were sitting just in front of the suites that were full of former Colorado Avalanche players was a fun bonus. It all started early as we were making our way down the hall for our seats. An out-of-place sound was heard by The Shocker, the sound of people speaking French! He turned around and struck up a brief conversation with his fellow French-Canadians. As the couple ducked into their suite, Gooseberryland said, hey, wasn’t that Pierre Turgeon? Sure enough! As the night went on we eventually spotted, Forsberg, Dan Hinote (sans wife, bummer), Scott Parker and Alexei Gusarov in the suite. Good fun! Even Sakic came by for a brief visit.

Oh yeah, and there was a hockey game too! Here is a great break out pass from that guy Quincey (that I was bashing earlier) to Duchene. Nice job on the photos by The Shocker
There were several of these amazing moments from Duchene. I don't know how the Avs could even think of sending this kid back. He didn't score but it shouldn't be long!-From the Point
P.S. Don't forget that we are on Twitter now! There are a couple of other pics of the guys in the suites that I took with my phone and posted at twitpic. So start following us now at http://twitter.com/RealDenverSport
Great pictures! Good job by The Shocker.
ReplyDeleteFacing the suite, we were in the section just to the right of the suite. Standing in the beer line, the door opened and there I was, in my Forsberg jersey, staring at Forsberg. Joe Sakic night could not have been any better as we got to Joe and Peter so upclose. Our friends also had the suite above us so we got to check that out too. Great pics.

ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, Texacogirl! Yeah, just seeing the other players there made it even more fun.
ReplyDeleteGreat pics!!! We were sitting in the 3rd row by the Sakic banner. In pic28 we are right above the glass above the Oppenheimer sign on the boards.
ReplyDeleteSad to see the final end to an ere, but what a wonderful sendoff and a great game too.
Thank you for posting!
