Opening Night Thanks and Pictures!!
Just wanted to toss a couple of pics up to thank the guys and gals of MHH for helping make Joe Sakic Night awesome on numerous levels.

Our message to Super Joe from the whole MHH family!!
My somewhat blurry shot of the banner being raised.
Thanks again to everybody who came out for the preunion at Old C's and helped make the @MHH family's trip to the Holy Land memorable!
Feel free to add some of your own photos from the night in the comments below.

Ok. I just got the pink star crap. Make it stop.
An ounce of confidence can carry you a mile toward winning. Oh, and Red Wings suck.
can anyone describe what this is? what product is it advertising?

I thought you knew that algebra was all razzamatazz. A Globetrotter always saves the good algebra for the final minutes.
Told you I'm not crazy ;-p
Clicking on it just leads to some sort of survey:

I broke the link on purpose so we don’t end up giving them clicks/referrals, but I thought it might help you guys get rid of it.
thanks, I have forwarded that info along

I saw it, too.
It was on more sites than just this one (obviously). I was just waiting for it to come up again so I could screenshot it. Got it!

is it possible that this has something to do with the problems i’ve been experiencing too? maybe the stars are trying to pop up on my screen but my virus scanner is blocking them and that’s why i’m getting the message i’m getting?? if so, careful about clicking on it…it could be spyware!

Just get Chrome
I have yet to see them at home, but I see them while at school quite often.
Damn college and them not able to afford a free browser.
So long Super Joe. In a class of your own in every sense of the word.
I still haven’t got it, although when you’re the king of the universe little meaningless crap like pink stars knows to stay away lest I destroy it.

yeah – we made it back in pretty good time. Good trip but way too short.

needless to say
I LOVE the pic of the message to Joe

Gratis?
Did the Avs put that up for free or did that take some $$$? Just curious…
Very cool, I didn’t notice it during the game.

It was $75. It wasn’t on during the ceremony, just the pregame and the intermissions. It was my idea, and Mike ok’d it. I thought it was pretty cool! Defintely better than all the stupid birthday messages!
nah, because I gave all the credit to Mike when in the back of my head I had a feeling he had some helpful guidance…

Agreed
The b-day ones were kinda lame compared to the sendoffs.
But honestly, whoever is marrying that chick who is having her bachelorette party at the Avs season opener is one lucky SoB.
So long Super Joe. In a class of your own in every sense of the word.
I was thinking the same thing, UNLESS she was there at the game with all her girl friends and her fiancee had to stay home.
Hopefully though, he got to go to the game with the guys.

It was up during each intermission
And may have been up during the ceremony, but I wasn’t looking there for obvious reasons.

I Gotta Feeling just came up randomly on the iPod and now I’m all melancholy

Just got back to Las Vegas
and hopefully in the next couple of days I will also have some pics up to share.
It was fun to see Beachie again and finally get to meet everyone who was at Old C’s.
We went to both games and had a blast…as I catch up in the post game threads I’ll add some thoughts for each game and the experience.

Looks great! Glad we could collectively say thanks to Super Joe in such a highly visible way!
On a related note, I wish we had the resources to advertise continuously in The Can. Maybe some day.
The Avs may suck now, but they've still won a Cup more recently than 75% of the NHL.
maybe not continuously, but what about doing these types of messages regularly? i.e., congratulating duchene & o’reilly on their first goals, ‘way to go’ for good games played (hat tricks? shut outs?), welcome backs after winning road trips?? could be interesting…and get some attention from the avs organization perhaps.

Next message: “Avalanche, we’re watching you. – milehighhockey.com”

Message after that: “And from the look of the stands tonight, we’re the only ones”

How much was that scoreboard message, if you don’t mind my asking?

$75. all Mike’s idea, and a rather fine one at that. and for every 1700 people who click on the pink stars ad, we can do another one.

I’m glad our membership dues are being put towards a good use….

You know, come to think of it, we could set up a PayPal to fund future messages in The Can. Everybody interested in donating could also vote on the message to be posted. Just a though.

that’s a great idea! i’d jump on that bandwagon.

Yup
I’d be down with that.
